Patent number: 11948148Abstract: A method including receiving a request based on a sender initiating a funds transfer, wherein the funds transfer is for the sender to make a payment to a non-financial institution. The sender has a sender account at a sender financial institution. The method also can include obtaining sender identifying information from the sender. The method additionally can include sending at least a recipient public identifier and a payment amount for the payment to the sender financial institution to cause the sender financial institution to send a funds transfer request to a computer-implemented funds transfer network to initiate the payment from the sender account at the sender financial institution to a recipient account at a recipient financial institution. The funds transfer request does not include an account number of the recipient account. The computer-implemented funds transfer network is operated by an entity that is different from the recipient financial institution and the sender financial institution.Type: GrantFiled: March 13, 2023Date of Patent: April 2, 2024Assignee: EARLY WARNING SERVICES, LLCInventors: Clinton Gilliam, III, Melissa Lowry, Michael Joseph Kennedy, Sergei Lilichenko

Publication number: 20240078547Abstract: A method including sending a registration request comprising a public identifier of a user to a computer-implemented funds transfer network to cause the computer-implemented funds transfer network to send a message to the user using the public identifier of the user to perform a validation that the public identifier is usable to contact the user. The registration request is a request to register an account of the user for real-time payments through the computer-implemented funds transfer network. The method also can include sending a confirmation message to the computer-implemented funds transfer network to validate that the public identifier is usable to contact the user and to cause the computer-implemented funds transfer network to register the user by storing a record in a directory of the computer-implemented funds transfer network that associates the public identifier with a private identifier. The private identifier is associated with the account of the user.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 14, 2023Publication date: March 7, 2024Applicant: Early Warning Services, LLCInventors: Clinton Gilliam, III, Melissa Lowry, Michael Joseph Kennedy, Sergei Lilichenko

Patent number: 11893587Abstract: Enhanced authentication at resource event apparatuses of a card device and, in some instances, the user of the card device. Card device-specific Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) are generated and, in some instance, user credential-specific NFTs are generated. The NFTs are stored within a distributed ledger of a distributed trust computing network, which provides verification as the uniqueness and authenticity of the NFTs. Once a resource event is initiated at a resource event apparatus, card device-related information and, in some instance, user credential-related information is received, and the information is compared to the corresponding NFT as a means of authenticating the card device and, in some instances, the card device and the linked user of the card device. As a result, the use of imitation card devices is prevented and, in some instances, the identity of the user of the card device is authenticated and deemed to be linked to the card device.Type: GrantFiled: December 10, 2021Date of Patent: February 6, 2024Assignee: BANK OF AMERICA CORPORATIONInventors: Manu Jacob Kurian, Carl Parziale, David Smiddy, Harold Joseph Kennedy

Publication number: 20230287167Abstract: A method of preparing a polyisobutylene-based polyurethane for making heart valves is disclosed, wherein the method includes providing a polyisobutylene (PIB) polymer, freshly distilling a diisocyanate compound to create a freshly distilled diisocyanate and providing a chain extender. When the polyisobutylene polymer, the freshly distilled diisocyanate, and the chain extender are combined together by mixing, the created polyisobutylene-based polyurethane exhibits a higher number average molecular weight, a higher ultimate strength, a higher elongation, and a greater toughness than a polyisobutylene-based polyurethane made without a freshly distilled diisocyanate, which makes the polymer particularly useful as a bioprosthetic heart valve.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 5, 2021Publication date: September 14, 2023Inventors: Joseph KENNEDY, Turgut NUGAY, Nihan NUGAY, Tejal DEODHAR, Geoff MOGGRIDGE, Ruhi PATEL
