  • Publication number: 20250002179
    Abstract: The AAMD was designed to address the concerns of deep space travel, in both the distance and time required. Today's rocket propulsion systems rely on expelling large amounts of fuel for short intervals and then coasting long intervals. This method is both expensive and time consuming where deep space is concerned. The AAMD is an alternative to rocket systems and it enables a vehicle to have a constant acceleration rates and deceleration rates. For instance, if the AAMD could provide a constant 1 G of acceleration and 1 G of deceleration, it would take less than a week to go from earth to mars, depending on their locations, whereas today's fastest rockets are 7 to 9 months, for the same trip. Slow and long travel times also are not good for the human body as the bones and muscle begin to deteriorate. The AAMD with its constant G applied to the occupants, will enjoy an artificial gravity produced by means of the constant acceleration. This would allow the occupants to have no breakdown in bones and muscle.

  • Patent number: 12175455
    Abstract: One embodiment of the present disclosure provides a system and associated processes for sharing cardholder data (CHD) between a merchant that utilizes tokenization and a second merchant that may or may not utilize tokenization. In one embodiment, the merchant, or an employee of the merchant, can use the system and associated processes to reacquire CHD from a tokenization provider system. In one embodiment, the merchant identifies to the tokenization provider system a desire to share CHD, which is associated with a token, with a second merchant. The merchant and/or the tokenization provider system can then invite the second merchant to register with the tokenization provider system. Once registered with the tokenization provider system, the second merchant can access any CHD that the merchant associated with the second merchant.

  • Publication number: 20240401575
    Abstract: This invention harvests some inertia from moving spheres to transfer thrust to the device. The invention has a track generally in the shape of a racetrack, that uses balls which are accelerated along the extended section of the racetrack toward the rear direction of the general forward motion produced by the device. The balls initial acceleration on the track produces a recoil adding to the forward motion of the device. This recoil is then counteracted via the ball traversing around the back of the U shaped race track, bleeding off some inertia. The balls continue around the rear track to the forward leg of the straight section where the excess inertia is bled off by friction means to add to the forward motion of the track. The balls, depleted of most of their inertia, continue around the front section and on to the acceleration means located on the rear facing leg and repeat the cycle.

  • Patent number: 12159317
    Abstract: Methods and systems are described for generating a vehicle-to-vehicle traffic alert and updating a vehicle-usage profile. Various aspects include detecting, via one or more processors associated with a first vehicle, that an abnormal traffic condition exists in an operating environment of the first vehicle. An electronic message is generated and transmitted wirelessly, via a vehicle-mounted transceiver associated with the first vehicle, to alert a nearby vehicle of the abnormal traffic condition and to allow the nearby vehicle to avoid the abnormal traffic condition. The first vehicle receives telematics data regarding operation of the nearby vehicle after the nearby vehicle received the electronic message, and transmits the telematics data to a remote server for updating a vehicle-usage profile associated with the nearby vehicle.

  • Publication number: 20240348643
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and software described herein manage server connection resets based on domain name server (DNS) information. In one implementation, a firewall may receive a reverse DNS request from a computing system and communicate a request to a DNS security service to determine whether a destination associated with the reverse DNS request is malicious. The firewall further receives a response from the DNS security service that indicates that the destination is malicious and, when the response indicates that the destination is malicious, communicates a reset command to the destination to reset a connection between the destination and the computing system.
