Patent number: 11089009Abstract: Systems and methods for credential character selection are provided. The system includes one or more sensors configured to detect a character selection and generate a character selection signal, and detect a character selection completion and generate a character selection completion signal. The system also includes one or more processors coupled to the one or more sensors, the one or more processors configured to receive the character selection signal and the character selection completion signal, and generate an output signal based on the received character selection signal that includes components of a credential. The system also includes a network interface component configured to transmit the output signal. The credential characters may be components of a PIN or password. Moreover, the credential character selections may be made on one device, but displayed on a separate coupled device. The character selections may be a selection of a character or a modification of character.Type: GrantFiled: July 23, 2019Date of Patent: August 10, 2021Assignee: PAYPAL, INC.Inventors: Bjorn Markus Jakobsson, James Roy Palmer, William Leddy

Patent number: 10666656Abstract: Systems and methods for authenticating a user attempting to access content are provided. The method includes requesting a first at least one user credential, determining if the requested first at least one user credential matches a second at least one user credential used when the user accessed previously accessed content, and generating a list of content providers requiring the second at least one user credential for access when the first at least one user credentials matches a second at least one user credential. The method also includes requiring the user to select a content provider from the list of content providers, allowing the user to access the content if the selected content provider corresponds to the content being accessed by the user, and preventing the user from accessing the content if the selected content provider does not correspond to the content being accessed by the user.Type: GrantFiled: October 23, 2018Date of Patent: May 26, 2020Assignee: PAYPAL, INC.Inventors: Bjorn Markus Jakobsson, James Roy Palmer

Patent number: 10114942Abstract: In response to a user access request, a media object containing a plurality of media components is constructed and transmitted to the user. At least one of the media components has been categorized as having different degrees of relevance to humans from a first culture/geographical location and humans from a second culture/geographical location. The user is prompted to solve a puzzle by selecting one or more of the media components or rearranging a location, size, appearance, or orientation of one or more of the media components. A description of an action performed by the user in response to the prompting is obtained. A determination is made, based on the obtained description of the action performed by the user, whether the user is more likely to be a human from the first culture/geographical location or a machine or a human from outside the first culture/geographical location.Type: GrantFiled: July 18, 2017Date of Patent: October 30, 2018Assignee: PAYPAL, INC.Inventors: Bjorn Markus Jakobsson, Jim Roy Palmer, Gustavo Maldonado

Patent number: 8714915Abstract: An exemplary axial flow steam turbine is disclosed which includes a motor, a turbine casing and at least first and second turbine stages, with the second turbine stage being located adjacent to and downstream from the first turbine stage. A radially outer static diaphragm ring of the second turbine stage includes an annular axial extension extending in an upstream axial direction and carrying a circumferential tip sealing device which cooperates with shrouds of a circumferential row of moving blades of the first turbine stage. An upstream end of the annular axial extension is axially spaced from a radially outer static diaphragm ring of the first turbine stage such that a circumferential passage is defined between the upstream end of the annular axial extension and the radially outer static diaphragm ring of the first turbine stage. Solid particles are diverted from steam flow by a circumferential passage during operation.Type: GrantFiled: November 23, 2010Date of Patent: May 6, 2014Assignee: Alstom Technology LtdInventors: David Paul Blatchford, Bryan Roy Palmer, Brian Robert Haller

Patent number: 8262359Abstract: A turbine diaphragm includes an annulus of static blades and an outer diaphragm ring surrounding the annulus of static blades and welded to the outer platforms. Each static blade has an inner platform, an aerofoil, and an outer platform. The inner platforms serve the function of an inner diaphragm ring, thereby reducing material and manufacturing costs. Furthermore, confronting edges of the inner platforms have an interference fit with each other and the aerofoils are in a state of torsional stress between the inner and outer platforms. The latter two features improve the dynamic characteristics of the diaphragm.Type: GrantFiled: January 11, 2008Date of Patent: September 11, 2012Assignee: ALSTOM Technology Ltd.Inventors: Bryan Roy Palmer, David Littlewood, David Paul Blatchford, Peter Frank Critchley, Adrian Lord
