  • Publication number: 20200283200
    Abstract: A device and system for temporarily sealing an orifice in a beverage container lid comprising a plug (10, 110, 210, 310) having an upper surface (14, 114, 214), a body portion (12, 112), and a lower surface (16, 116, 216), said body portion adapted to be inserted and releasably retained in the orifice to provide a temporary seal thereof, and an external member (20, 120, 220) located on the upper surface of the plug configured to allow a user to grip the plug for ease of removal from the orifice.

  • Patent number: 10740474
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for generation of secure indexes that permit the querying or searching of encrypted data in a cryptographically-secure manner. In various embodiments, a filter gradient comprises a node identifier, a set membership filter, and an ordered genealogy (such that it comprises a filter that encodes a subset of the items encoded by its parent), and a FiG tree is a rooted tree with filter gradients (and, optionally, one or more dictionaries) as nodes such that each filter gradient uses a different hash. A HiiT data structure, in various embodiments, comprises a hash table that points to the rows of an inverted index table. In various embodiments, an oblivious pseudorandom function may be employed to mask, secure, and prepare the phrases for insertion into the secure indexes.

  • Patent number: 10606462
    Abstract: Systems and methods of operating a human-machine interface (HMI) with a graphical user interface (GUI). A color spectrum is displayed along with a topic. A selection of a point on the color spectrum is received, and associated in a memory with the displayed topic. A data record is stored indicating a sentiment associated with the topic. The sentiment includes an intensity level and an emotion level. The intensity level is one of multiple intensity levels that change along a first dimension of the color spectrum, and the emotion level is one of multiple emotion levels that change along a second dimension of the color spectrum.

  • Patent number: 10503730
    Abstract: Systems and methods that permit the querying of encrypted data in a cryptographically-secure manner. Generally, data that has been encrypted cannot be queried using plaintext terms because it is in ciphertext. Accordingly, use of filters that correspond to the encrypted data and are generated by multiple parties permits querying of the data without decrypting the data or compromising the security of the encrypted data or of the queries against that data.

  • Patent number: 10149699
    Abstract: A new process of manufacturing a hybrid cannula may include creating a first part with at least two components, overmolding at least two components of a second part to a channel in each component of the first part, and fixing the components of the first part together. The second part may include various types of features such as thick/thin dams, squirt membranes, and/or duck bill dams inside the hybrid cannula. Each dam may have any number, shape, orientation, and length of slits/openings. The slits/openings may allow passage of an instrument while the dam(s) may prevent fluid from passing through the hybrid cannula. A third part may optionally be overmolded to at least a portion of the first part, at least a portion of the second part, or both. The third part may provide an extension, a flange, or a combination thereof at a distal end of the hybrid cannula.
