  • Patent number: 11935101
    Abstract: In some implementations, a verification system may generate a selector associated with a plurality of countries. The verification system may receive an indication of a selected country from the plurality of countries. Accordingly, the verification system may generate one or more visual regions, where each visual region is associated with a corresponding verification rule and includes at least one pair of visual selectors with a first selector associated with a type of user information and a second selector associated with a type of matching. The verification system may modify the verification rule based on interaction with the at least one pair of visual selectors included in a corresponding visual region of the one or more visual regions.

  • Publication number: 20230315829
    Abstract: In some implementations, a verification device may generate a first set of radio buttons associated with a first verification procedure and provide the first set of radio buttons in an area associated with a verification template. The verification device may receive a selection of a configuration for the first verification procedure using the first set of radio buttons. The verification device may generate a second set of radio buttons associated with a second verification procedure and provide the second set of radio buttons in the area associated with the verification template. The verification device may receive a selection of a configuration for the second verification procedure using the second set of radio buttons. Accordingly, the verification device may generate instructions for generating a set of user interfaces based on the selection of the configuration for the first verification procedure and the selection of the configuration for the second verification procedure.

  • Publication number: 20230319040
    Abstract: In some implementations, a verification system may receive input from a user associated with an account that already underwent a verification procedure. Accordingly, the verification system may generate at least one graphical user interface associated with a first verification operation, within the verification procedure, that is associated with a failed outcome. The verification system may perform verification of the user based on new input for the first verification operation and old input for one or more additional verification operations within the verification procedure.

  • Publication number: 20230315826
    Abstract: In some implementations, a verification system may initiate a state machine associated with a verification for the user, the state machine being associated with a plurality of verification procedures for the user. The verification system may modify a state of the state machine associated with a subsequent procedure of the verification procedures based on an outcome associated with a preceding procedure of the verification procedures. The verification system may determine a final state of the state machine based on an outcome associated with the subsequent procedure of the verification procedures.

  • Publication number: 20090298052
    Abstract: A method of diagnosing the presence or predicting the course of breast cancer by measuring the expression of a combination of Marker genes comprising a tissue-specific gene and a non-tissue specific gene in a cell or tissue sample derived from a patient. In one aspect of the invention, the genes are mammaglobin and CK19. Kits, nucleic acid primers and probes and controls are provided.

  • Patent number: 7267950
    Abstract: A method of extracting RNA from biological systems (cells, cell fragments, organelles, tissues, organs, or organisms) is presented in which a solution containing RNA is contacted with a substrate to which RNA can bind. RNA is withdrawn from the substrate by applying negative pressure. No centrifugation step exceeds thirty seconds. Preferably, the RNA is diluted prior to filtration and one or more wash steps can be used to remove interferents. In one such method, except for DNA shearing and drying steps, centrifugation is not undertaken during the extraction step.
