Abstract: Various embodiments of the present invention generally relate to identity authentication and/or recognition. Some embodiments provide a method for determining when a user may engage in a restricted activity, including engaging in an initial contact with a user via a medium for exchange, receiving a request to engage in an activity, determining an activity trust threshold required for the activity, determining an initial identity trust score for the user, and comparing the initial identity trust score with the activity trust threshold. Based on the comparison, the user is either allowed to engage in the activity, rejected from engaging in the activity, or additional identifying information is collected.

Abstract: Methods and systems for verifying a user's identity on a computing device using two-factor authentication are described. More particularly, the system utilizes a personal identification number input by a user, together with one or more of a secure browsing feature, a device fingerprint, and a token generator to authenticate the user on the computer.

Abstract: A button assembly includes a touchpad having an upper surface extending in a generally flat plane and movable between a first position and a second position displaced from the first position in response to the application of a pressing force perpendicular to the upper surface. Additional, smaller pushbuttons may be located adjacent the touchpad. A sub-bezel includes a housing defining a cavity for holding a linear bearing for guiding the touchpad in a linear path perpendicular to the upper surface. The linear bearing includes a plurality of first ball bearings and second ball bearings separated by a first distance perpendicular to the upper surface. The ball bearings may be sandwiched between a bearing outer member and a bearing inner member which includes an inner-top member secured to an inner-bottom member with a screw. A bearing carrier holds the ball bearings within troughs in the bearing outer member.

Abstract: Various embodiments of the present invention generally relate to identity authentication and/or recognition. Some embodiments provide a method for determining when a user may engage in a restricted activity, including engaging in an initial contact with a user via a channel, acquiring identifying information relating to the user, receiving, from the user, a request to engage in an activity, determining an activity trust threshold required for the activity, based on the identifying information, determining an initial identity trust score for the user based on the identifying information, comparing the initial identity trust score with the activity trust threshold. Based on the comparison, the user is either allowed to engage in the activity, rejected from engaging in the activity, or additional identifying information is collected.

Abstract: Embodiments herein provide a system, method, apparatus, and computer program code to calculate a security value to associate with a payment device, to associate the security value with a print representation of the payment device where the security value and the payment device provide a unique combination, and to compare the security value associated with the payment device with known data regarding the payment device, including the security value. The security value may be used to verify an authenticity of the payment device and other information associated therewith, thus facilitating secure transactions based on using the payment device as a form of payment. In some embodiments, the payment device may include a check, a loan, an electronic transfer of funds, and other forms of payment.

Abstract: Low light level illumination is applied to rotary blades of vehicles to increase visibility to minimize ground injuries. Either photoluminescent paint or photoluminescent film may be affixed to rotary blades in use to help deter accidents. An electro-luminescent film may be integrated into future rotary blades to provide greater visibility without making the vehicle vulnerable to detection.
