| 20090240949 | Identity authentication based on keystroke latencies using a genetic adaptive neural network - A system and method identify the person who is using a keyboard based on keystroke latencies as the person types certain key combinations. In some embodiments the latencies are monitored as the person types a password, while in others they are monitored as the person types other information and continues to use the computer. In some embodiments the identification yields a binary result (whether the latency profile matches the profile stored for a particular user), while in others a confidence level is given. A mismatch, or a confidence level below a particular threshold, results in a request for further identity verification, creation of a log entry, immediate notification of responsible personnel, or denial of access (or continued access). | 09-24-2009 |

| 20100013194 | SNOWBOARD MOUNTING SYSTEM - A snowboard mounting system includes a first member attached to a snowboard and a second member attached to a snowboard binding and the two members may be selectively engageable and rotatable with one another. In one embodiment, the first member includes a lip portion arranged with a body portion to form a channel. The lip portion includes a slot that extends into the channel. The slot is configured to receive a toe portion of the second member as a heel portion of the second member is moved into the channel. Because the second member is attached to the snowboard binding, the rider may secure the binding to the snowboard by rotating the binding relative to the snowboard, which moves the toe portion away from the slot and into the channel. In a riding position, the snowboard binding is coupled to the snowboard, yet remains rotationally free with respect the snowboard. | 01-21-2010 |
