  • Patent number: 11932364
    Abstract: A watercraft lift with rearward and forward lateral beams, left and right side longitudinal side beams, a pair of left side lifting arms, a pair of right side lifting arms supporting at their upper ends left and right side watercraft supports, and left and right side actuators pivotally attached to the left and right side rearward lifting arms. In one embodiment the left side rearward lifting arm and the left side actuator rotate about their pivotal attachments to the longitundinal left side beam in a left side plane, and the right side rearward lifting arm and the right side actuator rotate about their pivotal attachments to the longitundinal right side beam in a right side plane.

  • Patent number: 11907658
    Abstract: Systems and methods for user-agent anomaly detection are disclosed. In one embodiment, a user-agent string may be embedded into a numerical data vector representation using a sentence embedding algorithm (e.g., FastText). A predictive score may be calculated based on the numerical data vector representation and using a probability distribution function model that models a likelihood of occurrence of the observed user-agent based on patterns learned from historic payload data (e.g., a Gaussian Mixture Model). The predictive score may be compared to a threshold and, based on the comparison, it may be determined whether the user-agent is fraudulent.

  • Patent number: 11886590
    Abstract: Systems and methods for emulator detection are disclosed. In one embodiment, a user agent string may be embedded into a first numerical data vector representation. Hardware characteristics of a client device corresponding to the user agent may be embedded into a second numerical data vector representation. Based on the first numerical data vector representation of the user agent and the second numerical data vector representation of the hardware characteristics, and their consistency, the client device may be determined to be an emulator or a non-emulator device.

  • Patent number: 11748695
    Abstract: Various embodiments of the present invention involve systems, methods, and computer program products utilized in facilitating alternative delivery options for customers. In certain embodiments, a consignee may meet a driver and receive an item at a location different from the delivery address associated with the item. The receipt of the item may be prior to the driver attempting to deliver the item to the designated shipping location or after an unsuccessful delivery attempt. The carrier, the driver, the carrier system, the mobile station, and/or the sensors located on the item may communicate with the consignee to arrange a mutually acceptable time and location to accomplish the delivery. In certain embodiments, the consignee may be responsible for arriving at a dynamic delivery location to retrieve the item while the driver is at the location performing other tasks.

  • Publication number: 20230259943
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed relating to determining whether to authorize a requested action based on whether an entity is an automated computer. In some embodiments, a computer system tracks, at a user interface of a computing device, a sequence of pointer movements. The computer system maps, based on coordinate locations of pointer movements in the sequence, respective movements in the sequence to a plurality of functional areas. Based on the mapping, the computer system generates a movement graph and determines, based on the movement graph, whether an entity associated with the sequence of pointer movements is an automated computer. In response to receiving a request to authorize an action at the computing device, the computer system generates, based on the determining, an authorization decision for the action and transmits the authorization decision to the computing device. Determining whether the entity is an automated computer may advantageously prevent fraudulent activity.

  • Patent number: 11514447
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed relating to transaction authorization. In some embodiments, a server computer system receives and caches browsing information for a device of a user, where the browsing information relates to a transaction service. The server computer system may then receive a request to authorize one or more transactions via the transaction service. The server computer system may evaluate the cached browsing information to determine whether the user is attempting to perform multiple concurrent transactions via the transaction service. Based on the evaluating, the server computer system may determine whether to authorize the one or more transactions. In some embodiments, the disclosed techniques may advantageously prevent or reduce authorization of duplicate transactions that are concurrently attempted by a user.

  • Patent number: 9682517
    Abstract: A sandwich panel joint assembly for a nacelle of a wind turbine and method of manufacturing same is disclosed. The method includes forming at least one groove into a core structure. A next step includes inserting at least one fastener element within the groove such that the fastener element is recessed within the core structure. The method also includes placing the core structure containing the fastener element into a mold. A next step includes inserting a resin material into the mold to at least partially surround the core structure, wherein a portion of the fastener element becomes embedded within the resin material. The resin material is then allowed to cure so as to form a plurality of panel members that surround the core structure. As such, the fastener element is recessed within the core structure and molded into one of the cured panel members.
