Patent number: 11983787Abstract: The present disclosure involves systems, software, and computer implemented methods for performing identity validation using a digital ID shared and trusted among a coalition of institutions. One example method includes receiving, via a communications module and from a first consortium member system, a set of input credentials from a first consortium member system associated with an operation, where the set of input credentials is associated with a user. A digital ID is identified corresponding to the set of input credentials and the first user, wherein each digital ID uniquely identifies a particular user and corresponds to at least one user account associated with other consortium member systems in a trusted consortium network. Using the other user accounts, additional user account information associated with the user is obtained and used in a verification operation.Type: GrantFiled: June 14, 2023Date of Patent: May 14, 2024Inventors: Adrian Bloy, Danielle Marie Mullenax, Kevin Yuen, Daniel Lam Tin Cheung, Asgar Maleki

Publication number: 20240045709Abstract: Implementations describe a computing system that implements a plurality of virtual machines inside a trust domain (TD), enabled via a secure arbitration mode (SEAM) of the processor. A processor includes one or more registers to store a SEAM range of memory, a TD key identifier of a TD private encryption key. The processor is capable of initializing a trust domain resource manager (TDRM) to manage the TD, and a virtual machine monitor within the TD to manage the plurality of virtual machines therein. The processor is further capable of exclusively associating a plurality of memory pages with the TD, wherein the plurality of memory pages associated with the TD is encrypted with a TD private encryption key inaccessible to the TDRM. The processor is further capable of using the SEAM range of memory, inaccessible to the TDRM, to provide isolation between the TDRM and the plurality of virtual machines.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 17, 2023Publication date: February 8, 2024Applicant: Intel CorporationInventors: Ravi L.

Patent number: 11867400Abstract: A combustor for a gas turbine engine includes a liner surrounding a fuel and air mixing body. A gaseous fuel supply passage delivers gaseous fuel into the mixing body. A wall of the mixing body has air openings to communicate air into mixing passages. At least one fuel opening in each of the mixing passages allows fuel to flow into the mixing passages and mix with the air. There are passage sections downstream of a location of the fuel openings, such that the mixed air and fuel travel downstream of the location and into a combustion chamber. The passage sections have baffles that create a tortuous path. A gas turbine engine is also disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: February 2, 2023Date of Patent: January 9, 2024Assignee: PRATT & WHITNEY CANADA CORP.Inventor: Tin Cheung John Hu
