  • Patent number: 11960615
    Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to managing user profiles. An example method includes, at a computer system in communication with a display generation component and an input device: receiving, via the input device, a user input including a request to access a first restricted media item; and in response to the user input: in accordance with a determination the user input is a voice input and the voice input corresponds to a user profile authorized to access the first restricted media item using voice inputs, initiating playback of the first restricted media item; and in accordance with a determination the user input is a voice input and the voice input does not correspond to a user profile authorized to access the first restricted media item using voice inputs: forgoing initiating playback of the first restricted media item; and causing display, at the display generation component, of a validation user interface.

  • Patent number: 11925332
    Abstract: Certain aspects relate to percutaneous sheaths for medical procedures as well as to related systems and methods. For example, a system for performing a percutaneous assisted medical procedure can include a percutaneous sheath. The percutaneous sheath can include a first conduit for providing aspiration into the kidney and a second conduit for passing a catheter into the kidney. The system can also include an aspiration catheter configured to be inserted into the kidney through the second conduit of the percutaneous sheath. A fluidics system can include an irrigation source comprising a pump and an aspiration source comprising a vacuum. The irrigation source can be connected to a fluid inlet of the percutaneous sheath that is connected to the first conduit. The aspiration source can be connected to the aspiration catheter.

  • Patent number: 11917069
    Abstract: Secure user authentication using a OTP involve pre-storing an application on a first device for generating a valid OTP for the user responsive to receiving entry of a valid PIN, no part of the valid PIN is stored on the first device and pre-storing on a back-end server the valid PIN and a valid shared secret for the user. Upon receiving entry of a purported PIN, a purported shared secret is dynamically synthesized on the first device by the application based on the purported PIN and a purported OTP is generated on the first device. When entry of the purported OTP is received by the server in an attempt to log on the server from a second device, the server cryptographically calculates a window of OTPs, and logs on to the server from the second device is allowed if the calculated window of OTPs corresponds to the received OTP.

  • Publication number: 20210348292
    Abstract: A method for electrodeposition of pure phase crystalline SnSb from deep eutectic ethaline is described. Thin films of SnSb were synthesized using a solution containing equimolar Sn(II) and Sb(III) chlorides as precursors, and ethaline (1:2 by weight of choline chloride and ethylene chloride) was used as the solvent for the electrodeposition solution. The purity of the product is important, as the impure phase is found to be detrimental to the material's lifetime as both a sodium-ion and a lithium-ion anode. For sodium-ions, the directly deposited electrode was able to retain 95% capacity after 300 cycles, and only fall below 80% capacity retention after 800 cycles when cycled versus sodium. The electrodeposited SnSb used as a Li-ion battery anode showed stability, only failing below 80% capacity retention after 400 cycles.
