Publication number: 20240087554Abstract: Methods, systems, computer-readable media, devices, and apparatuses for synchronized mode transitions are presented. A first device configured to be worn at an ear includes a processor configured to, in a first contextual mode, receive a first mode change request from a second device to transition at a first time to a second contextual mode. The first mode change request is based on detection of a trigger condition. The processor is further configured to, at the first time, transition from the first contextual mode to the second contextual mode based on the first mode change request.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 17, 2023Publication date: March 14, 2024Inventors: Kamlesh LAKSHMINARAYANAN, Mark Andrew ROBERTS, Jacob Jon BEAN, Walter Andres ZULUAGA, Rogerio Guedes ALVES

Publication number: 20230325541Abstract: A processing device sets a first flag that indicates whether a first critical security parameter (CSP) file exists. The first CSP file includes a first set of CSPs for a memory device. The processing device sets a second flag that indicates whether the first CSP file is valid. The processing device sets a third flag that indicates whether a second CSP file exists. The second CSP file includes a second set of CSPs for the memory device. The processing device sets a fourth flag that indicates whether the second critical security parameter file is valid. The processing device selects one of the first or second CSP file as an active CSP file based on an evaluation of the first, second, third, and fourth flags.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 12, 2023Publication date: October 12, 2023Inventor: Walter Andrew Hubis

Publication number: 20230289483Abstract: A command to perform a data operation at a memory device is received. The command includes an encryption key tag. A first key table is accessed from local memory. The first key table includes a first set of key entries corresponding to a first set of encryption keys. The first key table is searched to determine whether it includes an entry corresponding to the encryption key tag. Based on determining the first key table does not include an entry corresponding to the tag, a second key table is accessed from RAM. The second key table includes a second set of key entries corresponding to a second set of encryption keys. A key entry corresponding to the encryption key tag is identified from the second key table. The key entry includes an encryption key corresponding to the encryption key tag.

Patent number: 11487349Abstract: An attraction capable of incorporating user interactivity. The attraction utilizes a slide for supporting a rider, with a ride vehicle or without. The ride vehicle may support one or multiple riders that allows the riders to manipulate its position or other associated elements while on the attraction. Upon manipulating an element, a signal may be transmitted. This signal may aid in determining whether a rider has successfully manipulated the element, for example, at an appropriate time. Sensors along the attraction may also be configured to track the user and/or ride vehicle via determining vicinity of the user and/or ride vehicle at a known location. Various rewards and/or features may be enabled based upon successful manipulation and/or user position. The attraction may include one or more illuminating features. Statistics or other information may be determined, stored, and/or provided (e.g., using mobile applications and/or scoreboards) relating to user performance.Type: GrantFiled: September 18, 2017Date of Patent: November 1, 2022Assignee: WhiteWater West Industries, Ltd.Inventors: Rick Briggs, Aaron Mendelson, Rick Sebulsky, Mohammed Sahill Rafiq, William Walter Andrews, Keith James Campden, Mitchell Keith Fitzgibbon
