TECHNOLOGY LICENSING OPPORTUNITY: Automatic Peripheral Device Disconnection

When left connected, these devices can remain powered and exposed, even after meetings end, introducing the potential for unintended surveillance or exploitation. To address this, LANL has developed a compact hardware-based capability that automatically disconnects USB devices when no longer in use

. By monitoring real-time power draw, the system identifies idle states and enforces a physical disconnection, eliminating reliance on manual intervention or software safeguards. Advantages: � Automatically disconnects USB webcams and perip
