  • Publication number: 20240142043
    Abstract: A system includes a base support positioned within a cab of an agricultural vehicle, a first support arm extending between a first proximal end and a first distal end, a second support arm extending between a second proximal end and a second distal end, a first display coupled to the first distal end, and a second display coupled to the second distal end. The first proximal end is rotatably coupled to the base support about a first axis and the second proximal end is rotatably coupled to the base support about a second axis. The second support arm is rotatable about the second axis along a second path independently of rotation of the first support arm about the first axis along a first path, where the entire first path is spaced radially inwardly from the second path relative to the second axis.

  • Publication number: 20240037274
    Abstract: Techniques for storing health data can include a multi-node data structure. A data node, a category node, and an institution node of a multi-node data structure can be generated in accordance with a configuration file. The data node can include health data and can be identified by a first unique data identifier and encrypted using a first cryptographic key. The category node can include the first unique data identifier and the first cryptographic key. The category node can be identified by a second unique data identifier and encrypted using a second cryptographic key. The institution node can include the second unique data identifier and the second cryptographic key. The institution node can be identified by a third unique data identifier and encrypted using a third cryptographic key. The data node, the category node, and the institution node can be shared with a service provider.

  • Patent number: 11847099
    Abstract: The subject technology may be implemented by a device that includes at least one processor configured to encrypt a data object based at least in part on an encryption key. The at least one processor may be further configured to sign the encrypted data object with a private key and transmit the signed encrypted data object to a server for retrieval by another device. The at least one processor may be further configured to generate a sharing object corresponding to the data object, wherein the sharing object includes an encryption key and a public key that corresponds to the private key. The at least one processor may be further configured to encrypt the sharing object using a key of the other device and transmit, over a secure channel, the encrypted sharing object to the other device for subsequent retrieval and verification of the signed data object from the server.

  • Publication number: 20230396416
    Abstract: Techniques are provided to create and manage groups of users. A group can be treated as a single entity. For privacy of a user, user keys can be translated to group keys, which are then used to access resources. The user can prove membership in the group via their keys (e.g., using a diversified public key), and then get the group keys in response, e.g., after verification to a group server using a diversified user key.

  • Publication number: 20230093749
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed relating to resuming a communication session. In some embodiments, a first computing device stores a session resumption token that includes metadata usable to resume a communication session. The first computing device provides a request to resume the communication session with a second computing device and receives, from the second computing device, an output of a verifiable random function (VRF) associated with the request. In response to the request, the first computing device performs a verification of the output and determines, based on the verification, whether to provide the session resumption token to the second computing device.

  • Publication number: 20220393867
    Abstract: This Application sets forth techniques for establishing a custodial relationship between a user device and a custodian device for recovering access to a user account and/or to encrypted user data with assistance provided by the custodian device to effect access recovery. A server of a cloud network service provides an anonymous identifier to associate with the custodian device and an account recovery key to store at the custodian device. Identity of an account of the cloud network service associated with the custodian device can be hidden from the server. The user device generates a data recovery key and provides a first portion of the data recovery key to the custodian device and a second portion of the data recovery key to the server. Integrity of the stored account recovery key and portions of the data recovery key are checked regularly by the custodian device and the user device.

  • Publication number: 20220393885
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed relating to securely authenticating communicating devices. In various embodiments, a computing device receives, via a network connection with a network, a first certificate for a first public key pair of the computing device. The computing device provides the first certificate to an offline accessory device and receives a second certificate for a second public key pair maintained by the offline accessory device. The computing device performs a verification of the second certificate and, responsive to the verification being successful, interacts with the offline accessory device. In some embodiments, prior to providing the first certificate, the computing device determines an ordering in which the first and second certificates are to be exchanged by the first computing device and the offline accessory device, and the first certificate is provided to the offline accessory device in accordance with the determined ordering.

  • Publication number: 20220391534
    Abstract: A server system implemented by a service provider may store health data of a user according to a multi-node data structure. The server system may generate transaction records based on requests to access the health data. Responsive to requests for the transaction records, the server system may query a database that includes the health data and generate a data package based on the querying. The data package may be sent to a requesting system. The data package may be usable by the requesting system to identify which patient profiles were accessed by which physicians.

  • Publication number: 20220001397
    Abstract: An industrial centrifuge for extracting one or more compounds from biomass includes a centrifuge basket disposed within a cylindrical vessel. The centrifuge basket includes a cylindrical sidewall comprising an upper perforated portion and a lower solid portion and a basket baseplate coupled to the sidewall between the upper perforated portion and the lower solid portion. The centrifuge includes a spindle coupled to the basket baseplate, a spindle bearing assembly, and a contact seal disposed between the spindle bearing assembly and the basket baseplate. The lower solid portion of the sidewall, the spindle, and the basket baseplate define a skirted volume. During operation of the industrial centrifuge, air trapped within the skirted volume provides an air seal between an extraction fluid in the cylindrical vessel and the contact seal, spindle bearing assembly, or both, to prevent extraction fluid from contacting the spindle bearings and causing damage thereto.

  • Publication number: 20200391348
    Abstract: A drum sander having a fin for deflecting airflow around the drum and directing dust and debris to a dust collecting outlet. The fin includes a first section at a first angle and a second section at a second angle that directs air movement generated by the operating drum toward the dust collecting outlet. The free edge of the fin is shaped to wrap partially around the drum in two helical inclined planes. A tool free adjustment of parallelism may be provided. The workpieces are pulled through the sander rather than being pushed through. Lightweight materials reduce stress on the assembly. Heat is dissipated by the configuration and material of the drum.
