  • Publication number: 20240147243
    Abstract: An embodiment includes a method to increase the efficiency of security checkpoint operations. A security checkpoint kiosk serves as a Relying Party System (RPS). The RPS establishes a secure local connection between the RPS and a User Mobile-Identification-Credential Device (UMD). The RPS sends a user information request to the UMD, via the secure local connection, seeking release of user information associated with a Mobile Identification Credential (MIC). The RPS obtains authentication of the user information received in response to the user information request. The RPS retrieves user travel information based on the user information. The RPS determines that the user travel information matches the user information. When the user travel information matches the user information, the RPS approves the user to proceed past the security checkpoint kiosk.

  • Publication number: 20130037583
    Abstract: Underwater drinking apparatus comprises a hollow body with a sidewall between proximal and distal ends, the proximal end of the housing including a fluid passageway functioning as a mouthpiece. A liquid-holding container removably connected to the body enables the liquid to flow from the container and into the hollow body. A piston slideably disposed in the body has a proximal end configured to seal off the fluid passageway. A spring within the body is operative to bias the piston toward the proximal end of the body to seal off the fluid passageway when not in use. The spring is preferably disposed between the distal end of the piston and an end cap threaded to the distal end of the body. A mechanism is coupled to the piston through the body providing a manually operated control enabling a user to move the piston against the spring.
