  • Patent number: 11727152
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media provide for the intelligent detection of sensitive information within a communication platform. The system displays a communication interface including a first input section for receiving an input message associated with a sending user account, and a display section for displaying message information received by the sending user account from other user accounts. The system determines or retrieves a sensitive messaging profile for the sending user account, then receives an input message associated with the sending user account. The system detects that the input message comprises sensitive information, and transmits a sensitive message to one or more receiving user accounts within a sensitive container component, with the sensitive message including at least a subset of the input message.

  • Publication number: 20220245277
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media for containment of sensitive data within a communication platform. The system displays a communication interface including a first input section for receiving an input message associated with a sending user account, and a display section for displaying message information received by the sending user account from other user accounts. The system determines a requirement to input sensitive information. The system then displays a sensitive data user interface including second input section for receiving a sensitive message, and an interface control for setting an expiration time value for the sensitive message.

  • Patent number: 10386167
    Abstract: Ammunition containers incorporate an advanced sealing/latching arrangement as well as a lightning mitigation scheme that exhibits a number of advantageous features. A cover assembly is provided that separates the latching functionality from the sealing functionality such that the latching assembly is rotatably engaged and the cover seal is provided via radial (rather than axial) compression of an annular sealing component. In addition, a novel lightning mitigation system also functions as a convenient method of grasping and transporting the containers.

  • Patent number: 6712729
    Abstract: A three-speed transfer case for providing a direct drive connection between the input shaft and the output shafts, a low-range drive connection and an ultra low-range drive connection. The ability to choose between the distinct speed ratio drive connections permits the vehicle operator to best match the road conditions or off-road terrain to the tractive requirements of the motor vehicle.
