Patent number: 11212097Abstract: A stream of plaintext is marked per its more sensitive parts. These marked parts are being encrypted via mathematically secure ciphers for which the ciphertext may be much larger than the plaintext. This invention creates a mix of size-preserving encryption for the not so sensitive parts of the plaintext, and size-enlarging encryption for the marked parts, thereby security is served without the inconvenience of a very long ciphertext.Type: GrantFiled: May 18, 2021Date of Patent: December 28, 2021Inventor: Gideon Samid

Patent number: 11199908Abstract: A user interface device includes at least a biopotential sensor and a location sensor. The user interface device is constructed to be worn by a person. A responsive device, such as a computer, receives data based on the outputs from the biopotential sensor and the location sensor, and performs actions based on the received data. Primitive gestures detected in the received data are associated with inputs of an operating system of the responsive device. For a wrist-worn device, a primitive gesture can be based on a pose of the hand or location of a wrist or both. The association of primitive gestures with inputs of the operating system can include associating primitive gestures with mouse inputs, inputs to request launching an application or switching applications, or inputs to perform other operations.Type: GrantFiled: June 2, 2020Date of Patent: December 14, 2021Assignee: Pison Technology, Inc.Inventors: David O.
