Abstract: Improved battery separators, batteries, and systems, as well as methods relating thereto are disclosed herein for use in various lead acid batteries such as valve-regulated lead acid (VRLA) batteries that include one or more AGM layers. The improved battery separators described herein may provide a battery system with an advantage of a significantly decreased acid filling time and a significantly increased acid filling speed. Various improved batteries, methods and systems are described herein using such improved battery separators that increase acid filling speed and decrease acid filling time for a VRLA battery.

Abstract: A creel system includes a plurality of tension controller apparatuses that hold spools of wire. The tension controller apparatuses apply tension to the wire and may be manipulated to fine-tune or control the tension applied to the wire. The creel system may further include a plurality of sensors that measure operation of the creel system as well as the condition of the wire. In such embodiments, the creel system may include a user-interface that provides data to the operator in real time and with which the operator may interact to control operation of the creel system.

The idler assembly includes a first gear-clutch assembly to facilitate a first gear ratio and a second gear-clutch assembly to facilitate a second gear ratio.

Abstract: A method for a robotic surgical system includes displaying a graphical user interface on a display to a user, wherein the graphical user interface includes a plurality of reconfigurable display panels, receiving a user input at one or more user input devices, wherein the user input indicates a selection of at least one software application relating to the robotic surgical system, and rendering content from the at least one selected software application among the plurality of reconfigurable display panels.

Abstract: Consistent one-time password (OTP) functionality is provided from a presentation server to secure various on-line resources. A seed file can be provided to or created by a service provider for execution as part of a hosted page displayed at a client to a user. A presentation server receives a call from the seed file. A user interface widget can be initialized at the presentation server in response to the call from the seed file. The widget can be displayed as part of the remotely hosted Web page so that the user perceives the UI widget to be embedded in the page as viewed on the client computer system. Security for the interaction between the servers can be provided through use of security assertion markup language (SAML).

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention provide for methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for providing a financial institution check-out system for processing online transactions using a customer's pre-existing online financial institution profile. A customer desiring to checkout from an online vendor's electronic marketplace is given a choice to checkout using a financial institution's secure checkout widget, which is rendered alongside the customer computer system's web browser application by a financial institution server. The widget authenticates the customer as a financial institution account owner, and the financial institution server displays to the customer his or her available payment accounts and receives customer input regarding the desired payment account. The server runs a payment service engine that controls payment for the transaction, and then the widget communicates proof of successful payment to the vendor server.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention provide systems, methods, and computer program products for an online safety deposit box inventory management system. A customer may securely log into the customer's bank accounts and add or delete safety deposit boxes to a list of safety deposit boxes that the customer owns. The customer may select a box to view and add or delete items that the customer has in the selected box. The customer may also edit the description, type, date, etc. of items that the customer already has listed in the box. In keeping a list of the items that the customer has in each safety deposit box the customer may keep an up-to-date record of the contents of each box for the customer's estate in case the customer passes away or simply in order to have a back up copy in case something happens to a paper copy.

Abstract: A method for processing information, such as user preferences and other user information, operates in connection with a server and/or a browser device. A connection is established between the browser device and the server, and a unique identifier is transmitted from the server to the browser device for storage on the browser device. User information is then received at the server, from the browser device and stored in a memory of the server, and the unique identifier is associated with the user information in the memory of the server. The user information includes one or more of the following types of information: language preferences, graphic display configuration preferences, other display preferences, disability preferences, marketing preferences, content preferences, personal user information, browsing history information, visitor type information, customer status information, relationship information, and user analytic information.

Abstract: Techniques for notifying customers when an outage of an eCommerce system has been resolved are disclosed. An e-commerce on-line platform detects the functional outage of a transaction entity when customers are trying to access an associated service from the transaction entity. Consequently, customers are routed to an outage web page, where customers are requested to provide contact information. When the functional outage is resolved, customers are notified using the contact information. Contact information may be the e-mail address or the phone number of the customer. A contact list is formed and a batch of notification requests is sent by an eCommerce on-line platform through an alerting vendor for notifying customers when a functional outage has been resolved. Notification requests may be partitioned into a plurality of batches so that customers are alerted in waves for controlling traffic on the associated transaction entity.
