  • Publication number: 20240161160
    Abstract: Techniques described herein include providing payment and access infrastructure for an array of transportation services, such as a set of transit or mobility services that might be provided by one or more governments, public agencies, and/or other public entities. In one example, this disclosure describes a method that includes enabling, by a computing system, a user to register for mobility benefits using a verification system, wherein the mobility benefits are provided by a provider entity; receiving, by the computing system and from the verification system, information about the user; establishing, by the computing system, an account linked to the provider entity; detecting, by the computing system, a request to access mobility benefits; allocating, by the computing system, funds from the account to pay for the mobility benefits.

  • Publication number: 20230374178
    Abstract: The system provides new methods and processes for the reaction of polymeric/oligomeric substrates with reactants comprising alkyne/alkene and/or protic nucleophilic moieties to afford functionalized polymeric/oligomeric products through the utilization of homogenous and/or heterogenous gold catalysis. More specifically, the system provides routes for reaction of polymeric/oligomeric substrates comprising varying degrees of aromatic character with alkyne/alkene bearing molecules to afford a functionalized polymeric/oligomeric product. The system additionally provides pathways wherein the inverse methodology is realized, providing functionalized materials from the reaction of polymeric substrates bearing alkyne/alkene moieties with aromatic and/or protic nucleophilic reagents. Furthermore, in a tangential methodology, the system affords functionalized polymeric materials from the reaction of polymeric substrates bearing protic nucleophilic substituents with alkyne/alkene containing molecules.
