  • Publication number: 20240121276
    Abstract: This disclosure describes embodiments of systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable storage media that can solve one or more of the foregoing (or other problems) in the art in addition to providing other benefits by applying customized security limitations to a secure digital account, and removing the security limitations based on efficiently verifying personal identity information associated with the secure digital account. For example, the disclosed system can receive a user interaction associated with a secure digital account and determine a fraud risk score corresponding to the interaction. The system can then assign the secure digital account a security tier and apply appropriate security limitations based on the security tier that corresponds with a determined risk of fraud.

  • Publication number: 20240065736
    Abstract: Various embodiments of unilateral implant holders and related methods are disclosed herein. An exemplary unilateral implant holder can include a surgical instrument that includes a unilateral locking mechanism arranged at a distal end of the instrument for rigidly holding onto a unilateral portion of the implant. The locking mechanism can be configured to lock onto a unilateral portion of the implant such that access to the implant is not blocked. By engaging the instrument's locking mechanism with a counterpart locking interface defined in an implant, sufficient clamping force can be applied by the locking mechanism to resist multi-directional forces exerted on the implant during a surgical procedure. The surgical instrument can be a stand-alone unilateral implant holder. The surgical instrument can be configured to perform a surgical task while concurrently holding the implant in place using the unilateral locking mechanism.

  • Patent number: 11489685
    Abstract: Various methods, apparatuses/systems, and media for generating a meeting efficiency index are disclosed. A receiver receives a request from an organizer to organize a meeting. A processor, operatively connected to the receiver via a communication network, accesses a database to obtain management data, organizational behavior data, and psychological data corresponding to the requested meeting in response to the received request. The processor applies an algorithm to combine the obtained management data, organizational behavior data, and the psychological data to determine a meeting efficiency index (MEI) for the requested meeting. The MEI is a normalized measure to determine how effective the meeting will be in achieving its purpose. The processor causes a graphical user interface (GUI) to display the MEI in conjunction with calendar item and receive input data whether to accept or reject the meeting based on the MEI.
