  • Patent number: 11962590
    Abstract: A telecommunications network server system provides a digital identifier to a user device. The digital identifier may include identification data corresponding to a user of the user device. In addition, the telecommunications network server system receives, from one or more third-party systems, requests to authenticate the user for an electronic transaction with the respective third-party system. The telecommunications network server system provides a unique electronic transaction code to each third-party system. Responsive to receiving from the user device one of the unique electronic transaction codes, the telecommunications network server system provides, to the respective third-party system, authentication of the user.

  • Publication number: 20230254311
    Abstract: The present disclosure involves systems and methods for identity authentication across multiple institutions using a trusted mobile device as a proxy for a user login. In one example, the operations include identifying a request to trust a particular user associated with a first entity in a digital ID network. A set of personally identifiable information (PII) associated with the user is obtained via the first entity and an identity verification (IDV)/fraud risk analysis is performed. In response to satisfying the analysis, instructions are transmitted to the user to verify the identity via a mobile trust application on an associated mobile device. Upon verification, the mobile device is bound to the user within the digital ID network along with a digital ID associated with the particular user. The digital ID can be used by other entities registered within the digital ID network to authenticate the user.

  • Publication number: 20090029447
    Abstract: The present invention provides for the removal of mercury utilizing Mer proteins. After the Mer proteins have been expressed and isolated, or alternatively using the native Mer protein complex, either can be used as a chelating agent to remove mercury from any aqueous mercury containing environment. The Mer protein may be used in a solution to bind mercury where the solution contains a Mer proteins may be reversibly attached to a removal apparatus as a Mer ligand. The Mer complex may also be used within a bioreactor to bind and reduce Hg(2+). The bioreactor may have any competent bacteria capable of producing a Mer complex attached within the bioreactor also containing an inlet and an outlet.
