  • Patent number: 11759540
    Abstract: A portable disinfecting apparatus with effective disinfection properties against pathogens, such as bacteria, fungi, and viruses is disclosed. Embodiments of the portable disinfecting apparatus include a portable sterilization box having at least one path configured to receive drawn air and to irradiate the drawn air with UV radiation along the path to produce disinfected air. The path may be provided using baffles that are configured, for example, in a serpentine or spiral configuration to provide a non-linear flow path for the air. The UV light sources, such as UV LEDs may be mounted on the baffles. Embodiments of the apparatus include an intake tube connected to the sterilization box for drawing air into the sterilization box from a point high within the room that is to be disinfected. The disinfected air is released from the sterilization box a point lower in the room.

  • Patent number: 8295492
    Abstract: A system for automated cryptographic key management comprises a key control system, a key management agent system, and a key system application program interface. A method for automated cryptographic key management is also disclosed. The method comprises the automatic generation of cryptographic keys by the key control system and distribution of such keys by the key control system to the key management agent system.

  • Patent number: 7751967
    Abstract: One embodiment of the invention includes a method for managing a system. The method includes providing a plurality of system values and generating an event signal if one of the plurality of system values is logically related to a compare value. At least two of the plurality of system values are captured at a time that is related to the event signal. Other systems and methods are also disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20070185642
    Abstract: One embodiment of the invention provides a detection system. The detection system includes an analog to digital converter that converts one or more analog vibration signals into one or more digital samples, a filter that analyzes at least a portion of the one or more digital samples and identifies energy values across a range of frequencies, a frequency selector that selects a subset of the frequencies for analysis according to one or more operational characteristics, and an analyzer that analyzes the subset of frequencies along with threshold values to identify one or more results.

  • Patent number: 6952795
    Abstract: A control module (100) includes a first signal processing unit (102) that is coupled to a second signal processing unit (114) by a control bus (130), an address bus (131) and a data bus (132). The control module conveys seed value addresses (108) and expected result addresses (110) over the address bus, seed values (118) and verification set output values (107) over the data bus, and compares each verification set output value to an expected result (120), thereby allowing the control module to determine whether the first signal processing unit, the control bus, the address bus, and the data bus are collectively functioning correctly. By properly selecting the seed value addresses, expected result addresses, seed values, and expected results (and correspondingly, verification set output values), proper operation of each line of the address bus and control bus may be individually verified.
