Abstract: Disclosed is a new intelligent forms automation solution for receiving a request or submission involving multiple types of non-native forms in a consistent manner. An engine locates a field in a non-native form, extracts a globally unique identifier (GUID) from the field and form data from data fields of the non-native form. The GUID is used by the engine to identify and retrieve a virtual copy of a native form identified. The engine fills the virtual copy of the native form with form data from the non-native form. Since the native form can have an associated workflow process, the form data from the non-native form is processed through the workflow. The native form and the non-native form can be created independently of one another. In some cases, a native form can be used to create a non-native form with a hidden field containing the GUID of the native form.

Abstract: Provided herein are systems and methods for providing low-friction layered authentication to provide account information with a single user pin input for an online payment transaction. A user provides an online payment service with a UID, which sends the UID to a financial institution. The financial institution verifies whether the user and online payment transaction associated with the UID satisfy a set of rules. A one-time pin is sent to provide an additional layer of authentication. Once the authentication is complete, the financial institution provides account information to the online payment service for use in the online payment transaction.

Abstract: An embolic material delivery device in accordance with at least some embodiments of the present technology achieves a high pressure rating with a small wall thickness. The device includes an elongate conduit body configured to extend intravascularly toward a treatment location including an aneurysm. The conduit body defines an axial lumen through which viscous embolic material is conveyed toward the aneurysm while at least a portion of the liquid embolic material is at very high pressure (e.g., 9,000 psi or greater).
