Abstract: A device includes: a housing having an exterior surface; a mounting recess defined in the exterior surface, the mounting recess configured to receive a fastener to couple the exterior surface of the device to an external surface; a film cover pierceable by the fastener, the film cover having (i) an inner surface affixed to a portion of the exterior surface surrounding the mounting recess, and (ii) an opposing outer surface; wherein the film cover comprises a material impermeable to an environmental contaminant to prevent entry of the environmental contaminant into the mounting recess.

Abstract: A computing device includes: a housing supporting a transparent panel to define an enclosure; a camera supported within the enclosure, the camera having a field of view extending through the transparent panel; and a privacy shutter supported within the enclosure, between the transparent panel and the camera, the privacy shutter having a shutter magnet, and being movable via magnetic activation between (i) an enabled position obstructing the field of view, and (ii) a disabled position clearing the field of view.

Abstract: A dock for a computing device includes: a cradle configured to receive a first edge of the computing device; a body extending from the cradle, the body having: (i) a first mounting surface configured to removably support a first accessory module in a first volume adjacent to the computing device, and (ii) a second mounting surface configured to removably support, independently of the first accessory module, a second accessory module in a second volume disjoint from the first volume.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and system for providing and updating a rule set used or classifying actions and transactions in computer systems.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and system for storing log data entries to provide a for a nonrepudiation log file that may be authenticated on an entry by entry basis. The system and method may be, or use, an encoder plug-in to translate entries into paired data and to write the translated entry to the log file in any order thereby allowing for the use of multiple processor systems. The log entries may be extracted and verified as authentic using this encoding plug-in and one or more processor systems. Various techniques may be used to prevent tampering with the log to remove a tuple and to detect unauthorized removal of data from the log. The present invention also relates to a method and system of securing and processing digital asset transactions.

Abstract: A system and method for remote device control are disclosed. A system incorporating teachings of the present disclosure may include a radio controlled toy and a controller for controlling the toy. In some embodiments, the controller may have an input mechanism and a housing component that defines a cavity, within which may be located a wireless wide area transceiver and a wireless local area transceiver. Some controllers may also have an operating system for the controller and an application resident on the controller and operable to convert inputs received via the input mechanism into commands for the toy. The controller may have a microprocessor operable to execute the application and to cause the commands to be communicated to the toy using the wireless local area transceiver.
