Patent number: 11927523Abstract: In flow cytometry, particles (2) can be distinguished between populations (8) by combining n-dimensional parameter data, which may be derived from signal data from a particle, to mathematically achieve numerical results representative of an alteration (48). An alteration may include a rotational alteration, a scaled alteration, or perhaps even a translational alteration. Alterations may enhance separation of data points which may provide real-time classification (49) of signal data corresponding to individual particles into one of at least two populations.Type: GrantFiled: July 11, 2022Date of Patent: March 12, 2024Assignee: Beckman Coulter, Inc.Inventors: George C.

Patent number: 9916576Abstract: Described are methods and systems for remotely personalizing a payment device. In an embodiment, a trusted service provider (TSP) personalization server receives a payment device personalization request from a remote personalization device (RPD), determines that a hardware security token (HST) permits issuance of the payment device, and transmits a personalization data request to an issuer. The TSP personalization server then receives the requested personalization data from a Mobile Over-the-Air Provisioning Service (MOTAPS) server, generates session keys, converts data from the MOTAPS server into payment device application process data unit (APDU) data, and then transmits the personalization data and APDU data to the RPD to load onto a payment device.Type: GrantFiled: October 2, 2015Date of Patent: March 13, 2018Assignee: MASTERCARD INTERNATIONAL INCORPORATEDInventors: Colin Tanner, Paul Michael Evans, Theresa L. Smith

Patent number: 9420035Abstract: Described is a multi-tenant Software as a Service (SaaS) computing environment which provides at least one logical server where two or more sets of tenant data can be processed by the logical server to keep the data from commingling with each other. To prevent data commingling, every tenant transaction request is isolated, via the described system and method, from all other tenant transaction requests by dynamically creating and later destroying unique pluggable components that satisfy the transaction requests.Type: GrantFiled: February 20, 2014Date of Patent: August 16, 2016Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Paul Michael Evans, Paul Fredric Klein

Patent number: 9033246Abstract: Methods and apparatus for issuing a payment device from a remote dispensing device are provided. In an embodiment, a dispensing device receives a purchase request including a load amount, to purchase a proximity payment device. The dispensing device reads proximity payment device information from a stored pre-personalized proximity payment device, establishes a secure communications channel with a security terminal, encrypts a personalization data request, transmits it to the proximity device issuer server, and receives an encrypted personalization message. The dispensing device then decrypts the encrypted personalization message to obtain personalization data, writes the personalization data and the load amount to the pre-personalized proximity payment device, and then dispenses the personalized proximity payment device.Type: GrantFiled: June 16, 2014Date of Patent: May 19, 2015Assignee: MasterCard International IncorporatedInventors: John R.

Patent number: 8812402Abstract: In some embodiments, a method comprises receiving a request from a customer to temporarily associate a token issued to the customer with a payment account associated with the customer, and temporarily associating the token with the payment account in response at least in part to the request. In some embodiments, a method comprises issuing a token to a customer before the token is associated with a payment account; and arranging for the customer to have an ability to request that the token be associated with a payment account and usable as a payment token. In some embodiments, a method comprises receiving a mapping associating an identifier of a token with a payment account; receiving the identifier from a point of sale system; and determining the payment account based at least in part on the mapping and the identifier received from the point of sale system.Type: GrantFiled: January 5, 2009Date of Patent: August 19, 2014Assignee: MasterCard International IncorporatedInventors: Paul Michael Evans, Colin Tanner

Patent number: 8752770Abstract: Pursuant to some embodiments, methods, apparatus, systems, devices, and means for issuing a payment device from a remote dispensing device are provided which include receiving a request to purchase a payment device from the remote dispensing device, the request including a load amount. Device information is read from a pre-personalized payment device in the remote dispensing device, and a request is made to an issuer of the pre-personalized payment device, for personalization data to personalize the pre-personalized payment device. In some embodiments, the request is sent over a secure authenticated session established between a module of the dispensing device and the issuer. The personalization data is loaded in the pre-personalized payment device to create a personalized payment device, and the personalized payment device is dispensed for use by a consumer.Type: GrantFiled: August 19, 2009Date of Patent: June 17, 2014Assignee: MasterCard International IncorporatedInventors: John R.

Patent number: 8706634Abstract: Methods, systems and apparatus for verifying a cardholder during a transaction involving a payment device and a terminal are provided. In some embodiments, the payment device transmits a first biometric information template to a terminal, receives a first sample template, determines that a match occurs between the first sample template and a first biometric reference template, and determines that a verification sequence applies to the transaction requiring satisfaction of a second biometric rule. In an implementation, the payment device then transmits a second biometric information template, receives a second sample template, determines that a match occurs between the second sample template and a second biometric reference template, and transmits a verification status of the cardholder.Type: GrantFiled: August 15, 2013Date of Patent: April 22, 2014Assignee: Mastercard International IncorporatedInventors: Paul Michael Evans, Jim Gopinathan

Patent number: 8627080Abstract: Methods and systems for mutual authentication and personalizing a transaction device, such as a payment, transaction, or identity card. Successively generated one time codes are calculated by a first and second entity. One of the codes is transmitted to the second entity, which verifies the code is proper, then encrypts a second one time code using a third one time code and transmits the encrypted data to the first entity. The first entity decrypts the data using the third one time code, verifies the encrypted second one time code is proper, thereby mutually authenticating, and establishing a shared encryption key for subsequent communications, including transmission of personalization data.Type: GrantFiled: July 25, 2012Date of Patent: January 7, 2014Assignee: MasterCard International IncorporatedInventors: John Wankmueller, Dave Anthony Roberts, Paul Michael Evans
