  • Patent number: 11930016
    Abstract: A client application is specified by a target tenant and represented in an OAuth provider, along with a corresponding secret. A source tenant consents to permissions to be executed by the client application on a resource of the source tenant. A target service uses the secret to obtain an access token from an authorization server coupled to the source tenant and uses the access token to obtain access, specified by the permissions, to the resource served by a source service acting on behalf of the source tenant.

  • Publication number: 20240055001
    Abstract: Prevention of voice misappropriation in voice interaction/response systems. The system relies on telemetry data, including thermal data of components to determine whether a received voice command was made by actual voice. If the voice command is determined to have been made by an actual voice, a response to the command is generated and transmitted, otherwise if the voice command is determined to have likely not been made by an actual voice (e.g., artificial means replicating a voice, such as a laser or the like), no response to the command is transmitted or action taken with respect to the command.

  • Patent number: 11877623
    Abstract: A system for placing a person in electrical continuity with the ground in order to reduce the buildup of electric charge on a person's body. The system of the present invention comprises a shoe with an attached shoe grounding device and a plurality of grounded mats. The shoe grounding device is attached to the shoe in a manner that puts the interior surface of the body of the shoe in electrical continuity with the heel of the shoe. The heel of the shoe can be placed in electrical continuity with the ground by placing the heel of the shoe on top of any of the plurality of grounded mats, which are connected to the ground by a grounding wire. The system as a whole allows a person using the system to place themselves in electrical continuity with the ground.

  • Patent number: 11816072
    Abstract: Embodiments of systems and methods as disclosed may provide a platform agnostic way to edit content within an enterprise. For example, a platform independent thin client editor may be provided such that this editor can be accessed by users at a variety of computing platforms across the distributed computer network of an enterprise, regardless of the platform from which the thin client editor is being accessed. Moreover, certain embodiments may provide a role based mechanism for controlling the editing of content. Embodiments of such a role based mechanism may allow one editor of a content item to designate a role associated with the content item so that only users associated with that role may be allowed to edit the content item or portion of the content item.

  • Patent number: 11777996
    Abstract: A physical access control system enables acceptable portal entry codes upon receiving each physical access request by operating on the elapsed time from a previous physical access request to generate a temporal credential. The controller receives a plurality of physical access requests from a plurality of mobile application devices. Upon authenticating the first access request, the controller eliminates repetition from the space of acceptable successor requests from each mobile application device. Monotonic nonces advance the range of temporal code matches. Entry code generation is decentralized to distributed application devices and is inherently unknowable until a successor access request is initiated by the same application device.

  • Patent number: 11751888
    Abstract: A cannulated retrograde reamer is adjustable to create tunnels of multiple different diameters. The cannulated retrograde reamer has a first tubular shaft and a second tubular shaft disposed about the first tubular shaft. A cutting member is pivotably coupled to the distal end of the first tubular shaft. The distal end of the second tubular shaft is configured to engage and disengage the proximal end of the cutting member by the rotation and axial movement of the second tubular shaft relative to the first tubular shaft to open and close the cutting member. The cannulated retrograde reamer substantially reduces the risk of tunnel malposition and/or misalignment, and can be adjusted to create a range of tunnel diameters, thereby allowing inventory levels to be reduced for a surgical case.

  • Publication number: 20230268856
    Abstract: The invention was conceived to facilitate in the advancement in internal combustion engine driven generators. Generators today consist of either an inverter generator design or a synchronous alternator design. Both designs have their advantages and disadvantages. The inverter generator offers very precise AC power output, lower noise level, and lower fuel consumption rates but can’t handle heavy inductive loads well. The synchronous alternator offers slightly less precise AC power output, greater noise level, higher fuel consumption rates but can power heavy inductive loads very well. The invention incorporates both, known inverter generator design and known synchronous alternator design, connected to an internal combustion engine, to form a hybrid generator design.

  • Publication number: 20230245104
    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.
