Abstract: This application relates to apparatus and methods for identifying fraudulent payment transfers. In some examples, a computing device determines payment transfer initiation features, and payment transfer reception features, based on previous payment transfer data. The computing device may train a machine learning fraud detection model with the payment transfer initiation features, and may train a machine learning fraud detection model with the payment transfer reception features. Once trained, the computing device may employ the machine learning fraud detection models to identify fraudulent payment transfers. For example, the computing device may determine whether a payment transfer is fraudulent when the payment transfer is initiated. Assuming the payment transfer is allowed, the computing device may determine whether the payment transfer is fraudulent when the payment is being received.

Abstract: Methods are provided for assembly of a target polynucleotide sequence comprising at least a first double stranded polynucleotide (DSP) and at least second DSP, and optionally further DSPs. The method comprises an assembly reaction comprising steps including providing a first single stranded polynucleotide (SSP) comprising the polynucleotide sequence of one strand of the first DSP, and a second SSP comprising the polynucleotide sequence of one strand of the second DSP and converting the SSPs to double stranded form via a primer and polymerase-mediated extension reaction. The DSPs comprise polynucleotide sequences that are complementary to other polynucleotide sequences within the assembly reaction such that the ordering and directionality of each of the first and second, and further DSPs is determined by unique overhang pairing. Nucleic acid libraries and methods of making such libraries are also provided.

Abstract: A system and method for using device characteristics to authenticate a transaction is disclosed. A first device can be used to request a transaction, and a second device can be used to approve the transaction. A push notification or authentication code is transmitted to a second device, and approval of the transaction is completed based in part on the hardware characteristics of the second device. A security database stores the hardware characteristics of the second device and links the characteristics to authentication profiles such that the second device can be used as a physical authentication device in multi-factor authentication.

Abstract: A visual odometry system and method for a fixed or known calibration of an arbitrary number of cameras in monocular configuration is provided. Images collected from each of the cameras in this distributed aperture system have negligible or absolutely no overlap. The relative pose and configuration of the cameras with respect to each other are assumed to be known and provide a means for determining the three-dimensional poses of all the cameras constrained in any given single camera pose. The cameras may be arranged in different configurations for different applications and are made suitable for mounting on a vehicle or person undergoing general motion. A complete parallel architecture is provided in conjunction with the implementation of the visual odometry method, so that real-time processing can be achieved on a multi-CPU system.
