First Principles Incorporated was founded in July 2004 by Lee Venturino. We are excited about the opportunity to serve our customers with senior systems engineering, test engineering and analysis support.
First Principles Incorporated has combined an eclectic mix of unique talent that can be found nowhere else in the Department of Defense. Our experience spans individually over 25 years and collectively over 100+. We have helped design and test unique air vehicles, cruise missiles, defense systems, surveillance platforms, missile seekers, other vehicles and systems such as jammers, measurement systems and supportable low observables.
What?! You mean the patent assignee is a contract company of the DOD?! This would be worth a post of its own, imo.
Also, when reading @lovely1's first post about the other patent, there were some companies listed in the patent they were referring to. Maybe we should look into these as well? Maybe they are run by Raniere or have close connections?
Paramilitary rituals and regalia: Paramilitary structure enhances the ability of leaders to control participants through a "chain of command." [Keith Raniere] the leader's title as "Vanguard" is a word with military origins, and participants are routinely expected to "thank" Vanguard at the end of each and every session. One's rank in the group is constantly visible by scarf color and number of stripes on the scarf, and this is reinforced by a ritual two-handed handshake where the higher rank person's hands go on top. Advancement includes ability to be a "coach," which appears to be a monitor, (sometimes-daily monitor), for members lower in rank. Clearly a submissive relationship of sorts to one's superior in rank is promoted.
The conflict between the parties began when Keith Raniere filed suit against Microsoft in the Northern District of Texas alleging infringement of the patents.
one to locate and take control of mobile device remotely
Systems and methods for communications systems and more particularly to systems and methods for locating a mobile communication device are disclosed. When attempting to locate a misplaced, lost or stolen mobile communication device, if the mobile communication device may be in the possession of another party, the mobile communication device may be remotely controlled such that remote operations are independent of the normal mobile communication device operations.
Could these possibly be monitors of some kind, for when he is not there. So they cannot escape. I am not to technical, but that is what I am getting from it.
The invention relates generally to a covering system for athletic courses. A movable framework straddles the athletic course and serves as a support for a cover. Inside, lighting and climate may be controlled. Also, possibly as a training aid or to facilitate competitive events, a timing system and/or PA system may be incorporated. Among the possible athletic courses suitable for covering are running courses, in-line skating courses, cycling courses, etc. The invention also includes a method of operating an outdoor exercise course.

Someone on Twitter said that NXIVM seems to be a front for something. Well, I think you just found for who.

First Principles could be the name of many companies. Anything to link Lee Venturino to Keith Raniere?
