Patents by Inventor Timothy Meehan

Timothy Meehan has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 11462295
    Abstract: A system may include an integrated circuit having repair select bits coupled with a central repair register. The repair register may be configured to determine how to broadcast multiple repair actions to a group of repairable circuits. Inclusion of the repair register may function to reduce the total number of latches used to hold repair information.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8487536
    Abstract: A dense plasma focus device is disclosed as having an anode with a non-constant radius and a cathode coupled to the anode, the cathode also having a non-constant radius. The anode and/or the cathode may be tapered. In addition, a ratio of the non-constant radius of the anode and the non-constant radius of the cathode may be held constant along the length of the dense plasma focus device in order to maintain constant inductance. Alternatively, the inductance may be varied by varying the ratio of the anode and cathode radii along the length of the dense plasma focus device.

  • Publication number: 20080098456
    Abstract: This invention discloses a system for determining whether a purported or alleged authorized user is in fact the authorized user, by comparing new data on a real-time basis against probability distribution representations including an authorized user probability distribution representation and a global or wide population probability distribution representation, to provide a probability as to whether the purported authorized user is the authorized user. This invention may utilize keyboard dynamics or data, or X-Y device data, or other data from similar measurable characteristics, to determine the probability that the new data from the purported authorized user indicates or identifies that user as the authorized user. This invention identifies the user continuously as the user interacts with the system and to identify a change in situation in the environment of the user.

This invention may utilize touch dynamics or data, or other data from similar measurable characteristics, to determine the probability that the new data from the purported authorized user indicates or identifies that user as the authorized user. This invention uses the same data to determine the probability for the most optimal position and sizes for user interface components.

  • Publication number: 20080091453
    Abstract: This invention discloses a system wherein behaviormetrics are utilized to authenticate electronic transactions, either alone or in combination with other identifiers such as PIN's, passwords, codes and the like. Probability profiles or probability distribution representations may be constructed for determining whether a purported or alleged authorized user is in fact the authorized user, by comparing new data on a real-time basis against probability distribution representations including an authorized user probability distribution representation and a global or wide population probability distribution representation, to provide a probability as to whether the purported authorized user is the authorized user.

  • Publication number: 20050234708
    Abstract: An activity based notational system defines actions (or processes) occurring between a user and a system using only four classes. Inputters describe data provided by the user to the system, and Outputters are the inverse of Inputters. Selectors describe items provided to the user by the system and the subsequent selection of those items by the user. Invokers describe a user action that changes the system's state without involving an exchange of data. In one embodiment, the notation is used to enable GUI forms to be automatically generated from a flow diagram. In other embodiments, a flow diagram is automatically generated when a GUI form created or modified, test scripts based on the notation in a diagram are generated and executed, test simulations of the system are executed, production of hardware components is controlled by a CAD drawing, and the scope of a flow diagram is determined.
