  • Publication number: 20240136525
    Abstract: An anode active material and a high-capacity secondary battery for high speed charging including the same are described. When an anode active material including a composite material in which a high-capacity silicon-based anode active material and a graphite active material capable of enabling high-speed charging by increasing the interlayer distance are mixed is used as an anode, the high-speed charging performance of a secondary battery can be improved and the capacity thereof can be increased, and a secondary battery that can be mounted on small and medium-sized electronic devices such as portable phones and the like, various electric mobilities including commercial electric vehicles, and energy storage systems (ESS) can be provided.

  • Publication number: 20240015159
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for identifying and blocking network interactions. One example computer-implemented method includes accessing, by a server computing device, access data associated with an interaction between a user and a virtual location of a first party, where the access data includes a common data element specific to the interaction and at least one click behavior, and accessing identity data associated with the interaction between the user and the virtual location, where the identity data includes the common data element specific to the interaction and identifying data associated with the user. The method then includes joining the access data and the identity data based on the common data element, generating a score based on the joined data and a model, where the sore is indicative of a probability of a type of the user, and reporting the generated score to the first party.

  • Publication number: 20230169478
    Abstract: An optical scan triggered electronic funds transfer (EFT) method. In an embodiment, a payment services provider computer receives a request for a dynamic quick response (QR) code, generates the dynamic QR code, transmits the dynamic QR code to the POS device and receives a transaction request from a user mobile device proposing a payment transaction without identifying any financial account that belongs to the merchant. The payment services provider computer then transmits a message to the user mobile device prompting the user to confirm the payment transaction, receives an indication confirming the payment transaction and then initiates an electronic funds transfer (EFT) in an EFT system for the transaction amount from a user account to a merchant account.

  • Patent number: 11584898
    Abstract: A polymer surfactant for improving engine oil emulsion properties of a lubricating composition mixed with water and/or fuel contamination, particularly at very cold temperatures, is described herein. In approaches, selected polymeric and functionalized compounds can impart both robust emulsion properties and simultaneously deliver good low temperature fluidity for lubricating compositions that may contain residual amounts of water and/or fuel contamination. Lubricating compositions including such surfactants demonstrate robust properties at temperatures down to about ?30° C.

  • Publication number: 20210198533
    Abstract: A crosslinkable polymer composition includes repeating units of formula (I) and repeating units derived from a monomer having an ethylenically unsaturated group and a crosslinkable functional group, wherein the crosslinkable functional group is capable of forming a covalent linkage with a crosslinkable functional group of an adjacent repeating unit. R1 and R2 are as defined herein. The crosslinkable polymer composition can be particularly useful, for example, for pressure sensitive adhesive or coating compositions. A method of making the polymer composition and a pressure sensitive adhesive and a coating are also described.

  • Publication number: 20200097931
    Abstract: A method includes receiving an invoice token from a merchant, where the invoice token represents an invoice for an e-commerce transaction. The invoice token is transmitted to a payment services computer to request details of the invoice. The requested invoice details are received from the payment service computer, and an account is selected to support payment for the transaction. A payment transaction is initiated to settle the e-commerce transaction based on the invoice details and the account that was selected to support the payment.
