Timothy Wayne Steiner 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: 10708251
    Abstract: A portable electronic device for authentication and encryption communicably attached to a computer system is provided. The portable device may generate and automatically output authentication data for a plurality of accounts on request by a user. The output generated by the device is variable and customizable data that matches the data required by websites, applications, and other computer based systems to function as a universal authentication device. The device may include means to encrypt, decrypt, sign, verify and hash data including emails, images, documents and other files on request by a user. The device further having means to require physical user presence in order to generate authentication, encryption, decryption, signature, verification or hash data. The device includes a keypad having a plurality of buttons, a power and data connector, a data processing unit, a keyring hole, a light emitting diode, and a reset button.

  • Patent number: 9521764
    Abstract: A tamper respondent apparatus having an enclosure comprising of an electrically conductive material layer configured to substantially form continuous electrically conductive paths, an electrically non-conductive material layer forming an outer layer configured to substantially insulate said electrically conductive material layer, an electrical connector at a corner of an underside surface of said enclosure, whereby said conductive material layer and non-conductive material layer are extruded or deposited in successive layers by a three dimensional printer, wherein said electrically conductive material layer forms an inner layer of said extrusion of said three dimensional printer, and wherein a cohesive strength of said conductive material layer is configured to be less than a cohesive strength of said non-conductive material layer.

  • Publication number: 20160039145
    Abstract: A three-dimensional printing apparatus configured to print a three-dimensional object is provided. The three-dimensional printing apparatus may include a print head that extrudes or deposits an electrically non-conductive material and an electrically conductive material. Said electrically conductive material may be configured to substantially form continuous electrically conductive paths and an electrically non-conductive material may be configured to substantially insulate said electrically conductive material. In one example, the three-dimensional printing apparatus may be employed to print a three-dimensional object that may be used to form an electrical circuit. In another example, the three-dimensional printing apparatus may be employed to print a three-dimensional object that may comprise features that may reduce electromagnetic interference (“EMI”).
