Filed:

Jul 22, 2021

Appl. No.:

17/383126

Inventors:

- Austin TX, US
Michael David Horton - Austin TX, US
Francisco Javier Otero - Austin TX, US

International Classification:

A61B 17/12

Abstract:

Devices, systems, and methods for occluding cavities or passageways in a subject, such as the left atrial appendage of a subject's heart. The devices, systems, and methods can be used to decrease the rate of thromboembolic events associated with atrial fibrillation by occluding the left atrial appendage.

Appl. No.:

15/441325

Inventors:

- Atlanta GA, US
Michael R. Horton - Austin TX, US

International Classification:

H04L 29/06
H04W 4/02
H04W 12/08

Abstract:

A system using mobile devices and a network provides access authentication, authorization and accounting to computing resources using a two-person access rule solution approach. A central access control server coordinates a rule-based authorization process in which a requesting user and one or more authorizing users are engaged in real-time communications to facilitate approved access to a sensitive resource. The technique utilizes mobile cellular interfaces and location service technologies, while also providing traditional security control measures of voice and visual verification of user identities.

Appl. No.:

14/158907

Inventors:

- Atlanta GA, US
Michael Horton - Austin TX, US

Assignee:

AT&T INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY I, L.P. - Atlanta GA

International Classification:

G06F 21/35

US Classification:

726 20

Abstract:

Devices, systems and methods are disclosed for additional security, functionality, and convenience in the operation of a wireless communication device with the use of a separate proximity security token in communication with the wireless communication device. In exemplary embodiments, the token is carried by the user while device logic is installed on the user's wireless communication device. The device logic along with transceivers allows the device to sense proximity of the token through wireless communication. Given a certain range of the proximity security token, as determined by the wireless signal strength, the device logic determines whether the device is in a locked or unlocked state. If the proximity security token is outside the range, then the device is locked. The proximity security token uses ultra-low power communications for optimal battery life.
