The patent assignee behind the vault's clearest labor-surveillance artifact: a pair of 2016-filed, 2018-granted wristband patents (ultrasonic and RF hand-tracking, both with haptic feedback) that recur as the vault's bridge between Taylorist motion-study history and contemporary AI-wearable research. It matters here specifically as a recurring, real corporate assignee whose own patent text — not press paraphrase — now anchors that bridge on a Tier-1 footing.
