Publication number: 20230244769Abstract: A system may be configured to perform edge device based multi-factor authentication. In some aspects, the system may capture a plurality of video frames, detect a first face within a first video frame, detect a second face within a second video frame, generate a first signature based on the first face and a second signature based on the second face, determine that the first signature matches the second signature, determine that a third video frame corresponds to a human, and verify that the first signature and second signature correspond to a first authentication credential of a known user. Further, the system may capture audio information, verify that the audio information corresponds to a second authentication credential of the known user, and provide physical access to a controlled area.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 3, 2022Publication date: August 3, 2023Inventors: Walter A.

Patent number: 9348722Abstract: A network of microcontrollers for monitoring and diagnosing the environmental conditions of a computer is disclosed. The network of microcontrollers provides a management system by which computer users can accurately gauge the health of their computer. The network of microcontrollers provides users the ability to detect system fan speeds, internal temperatures and voltage levels. The invention is designed to not only be resilient to faults, but also allows for the system maintenance, modification, and growth—without downtime. Additionally, the present invention allows users to replace failed components, and add new functionality, such as new network interfaces, disk interface cards and storage, without impacting existing users. One of the primary roles of the present invention is to manage the environment without outside involvement. This self-management allows the system to continue to operate even though components have failed.Type: GrantFiled: October 21, 2013Date of Patent: May 24, 2016Assignee: Round Rock Research, LLCInventors: Karl S.

Patent number: 6418492Abstract: Apparatus and method is disclosed for providing hot-add and hot swap capability to a computer system with a processor, and a memory, connected to a system bus. The apparatus includes a first bus, an adapter card slot, a switchable interface unit and hot-swap hot-add program code means. The first bus is connected to the system bus. The adapter card slot has a first port and a second port. The switchable interface unit includes a primary port and a secondary port. The primary port is connected to the first bus and the secondary port is connected to the first port of the adapter card slot. The switchable interface unit is responsive to a hot-swap hot-add power-down request to disconnect the second port from the first bus. The switchable interface unit is also responsive to a power-up request to reconnect the second port to the first bus.Type: GrantFiled: October 1, 1997Date of Patent: July 9, 2002Assignee: Micron ElectronicsInventors: Stephen E.

Publication number: 20020013906Abstract: A system and method for obtaining controlled information delivery of many kinds from a test taker. In one aspect, the system and method provide a medical test device delivery, retrieval and data distribution system in a secure and efficient format. In this aspect, the method comprises: transmitting a data collector to an end user; collecting the data collector from the end user; and transmitting user data from the collector to authorized users. The step of transmitting may comprise shipping a medical test device to a patient, and may further comprise the sub-steps of accepting a request to ship a device from a requesting user; and communicating with a shipper directing shipment to the end user. In the aforementioned method, the user must be authorized to make the request for the shipment. The method may further comprise distributing the results of the test to the user via a combination of public and/or private networks.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 14, 2001Publication date: January 31, 2002Inventors: Walter Wallach, Scott Adams
