International Classification:

G06F 21/44
G06F 21/62

Abstract:

In one aspect, a device includes a processor and storage accessible to the processor. The storage bears instructions executable by the processor to identify at least a first mode of authentication associated with a first predetermined weight, identify at least a second mode of authentication associated with a second predetermined weight, identify a threshold, and permit access at least in part based on the weights meeting the threshold.

International Classification:

A45F 5/02
A41D 1/00
H02N 2/18
A45F 5/00

Abstract:

A method provides a band, including: placing an energy harvesting mechanism within a deformable band; the energy harvesting mechanism being placed to transform deformation of the deformable band into stored energy; and providing a connection element to the energy harvesting mechanism; said connection element offering a coupling of the stored energy of the deformable band to a device. In an embodiment, a force is applied to deform a deformable band along a length dimension of the deformable band. The force acts to move an energy harvesting mechanism of the deformable band such that the energy harvesting mechanism transforms deformation of the deformable band into stored energy. The stored energy may be used, e.g., to collect information using a sensor of said deformable band. Other aspects are described and claimed.

International Classification:

G08B 7/06

Abstract:

For communicating a localized building alert, a processor detects an emergency event. In response to detecting the emergency event, the processor communicates a localized building alert through a lighting system. The localized building alert is restricted to a location of one of an aid recipient and an aid giver

International Classification:

H04L 12/873
H04L 29/08
H04L 12/911

Abstract:

One embodiment provides a method, including: allocating, at a node within a local network, availability to a broader network into one or more units; associating, using a processor, one or more tokens with the one or more units; distributing, over a network, the one or more tokens to a requesting node; receiving, over a network, the one or more tokens from the requesting node, where the one or more tokens have been associated with network payload; confirming, using the processor, that the one or more tokens are valid; and in response to the confirming, sending the network payload onto the broader network. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

International Classification:

H04W 68/00
H04W 4/00

Abstract:

In one aspect, a first device includes a processor, a communication interface accessible to the processor, and storage accessible, to the processor. The storage bears instructions executable by the processor to attempt to communicate, using the communication interfaces with a second device with which the first device has previously communicated The instructions are also executable by the processor to provide a notification indicating that the second device is not present responsive to a determination that communication cannot be established with the second device.

Jennifer Greenwood Zawacki - Hillsborough NC, US

International Classification:

H04M 19/04

Abstract:

An aspect provides a method, including: detecting a received communication at a device; detecting, using a device orientation sensor, orientation data relating to device orientation; the orientation data being associated in time with the received communication; determining, using the orientation data, a value for a magnitude of a notification of the received communication; and adjusting, using a processor of the device, the magnitude of the notification of the received communication according to the value. Other aspects are described and claimed.
