Publication number: 20180255458Abstract: A system and a method of authentication to improve security communication between machines are disclosed. The system includes a retrieving unit (120) that identifies a critical component (102) of an apparatus (110) in response to an authentication request for the apparatus (110) and retrieves authentication information for the critical component (102) comprising expected physical and digital signatures for the critical component (102) and one or more associated additional components (104). An acquiring unit (160) that acquires present signatures for the components (102,104). A checking unit (180) that checks validity of each present signature with the corresponding expected signature, in order to authenticate the apparatus (110). The authentication process is enhanced by strategically extending the biometric concept, that is, measurement and analysis of unique physical or behavioral characteristics for verifying identity purposes, to interactions between machines.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 28, 2018Publication date: September 6, 2018Inventors: Victor Perez Villar, Grzegorz M.

Publication number: 20140242722Abstract: An article is provided for the detection of a drug in a liquid medium. The article includes a polymer having pores specifically imprinted to provide for capture of a drug in the pores, nanoparticles, and photochromic optical switch molecules. Capture of the drug in the pores of the polymer results in a change in the spatial relation of the nanoparticles in the polymer, causing the photochromic optical switch molecules to undergo a change in energy state which corresponds to a change in spectra of the photochromic optical switch molecules, thereby providing for detection of the drug.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 26, 2014Publication date: August 28, 2014Applicant: MEDTECH DETECT, LLCInventors: Richard H.

Publication number: 20140065226Abstract: A thermo-responsive hydrogel, including a biocompatible monomer and/or polymer having a side chain-linked amino acid. The hydrogel is thermo-responsive at a physiological temperature, and can include, incorporate, or encapsulate a treatment agent, such as a drug composition, a biomolecule, and/or a nano-particle. The hydrogel is useful in delivering the treatment agent. The hydrogel is in a first physicochemical state for administration to a mammal. The hydrogel is thermo-responsive at a physiological temperature of the mammal, and changes to a second physicochemical state that is more solid than the first physicochemical state. In the second physicochemical state the thermo-responsive hydrogel releases the treatment agent.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 5, 2012Publication date: March 6, 2014Inventors: Eric Brey, Jennifer J.

Patent number: 8311827Abstract: The present invention relates to voice-activated vehicle control, and to the control of UAVs (unmanned air vehicles) using speech in particular. A method of controlling a vehicle is provided that includes receiving one or more instructions issued as speech and analyzing the speech using speech recognition software to provide a sequence of words and a word confidence measure for each word so recognized. The sequence of words is analyzed to identify a semantic concept corresponding to an instruction based on the analysis, and a semantic confidence level for the semantic concept identified derived at least in part with reference to the word confidence measures of the words associated with the semantic concept. A spoken confirmation of the semantic concept so identified based on the semantic confidence level is provided, and the semantic concept is used to provide a control input for the vehicle.Type: GrantFiled: September 19, 2008Date of Patent: November 13, 2012Assignee: The Boeing CompanyInventors: Ruben San-Segundo Hernandez, David Scarlatti, Roberto Molina, Javier Ferreiros Lopez, Victor Perez Villar
