Abstract: An automated teller machine (ATM) may include an input component and one or more processors. The input component may be configured to detect multi-factor input associated with an account. The multi-factor input may include at least two of: a sequence of characters input via the input component, a force with which at least one character, of the sequence of characters, is input via the input component, a length of time over which at least one character, of the sequence of characters, is input via the input component, or a combination of at least two characters, of the sequence of characters, that are input concurrently via the input component. The ATM may receive the multi-factor input, validate the multi-factor input in association with the account, and selectively permit or deny access to one or more actions associated with the account based on validating the multi-factor input.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to limitation of noise on light detectors using an aperture. One example embodiment includes a system. The system includes a lens disposed relative to a scene and configured to focus light from the scene onto a focal plane. The system also includes an aperture defined within an opaque material disposed at the focal plane of the lens. The aperture has a cross-sectional area. In addition, the system includes an array of light detectors disposed on a side of the focal plane opposite the lens and configured to intercept and detect diverging light focused by the lens and transmitted through the aperture. A cross-sectional area of the array of light detectors that intercepts the diverging light is greater than the cross-sectional area of the aperture.

Abstract: In a general aspect, a package includes a semiconductor die disposed between a first high voltage isolation carrier and a second high voltage isolation carrier. The semiconductor die is thermally coupled to the first high voltage isolation carrier. The package also includes a molding material disposed in a space between the semiconductor die and the first high voltage isolation carrier, and a conductive spacer disposed between the semiconductor die and the second high voltage isolation carrier. The conductive spacer is thermally coupled to semiconductor die and to the second high voltage isolation carrier. A longitudinal dimension of the conductive spacer is greater than a longitudinal dimension of the semiconductor die. The molding material encapsulates the semiconductor die and the conductive spacer.
Abstract: A carry bag is provided that has exterior surfaces. A cut-out panel is provided that is configured with a character with a theme that is shared by graphics used on the exterior surfaces of the carry bag. A mounting system is used to join the cut-out panel to the carry bag or to a pocket extension on the carry bag. The mounting system enables the cut-out panel to move through a range of motion relative to the carry bag while remaining attached to the carry bag. At least some of the cut-out panel covers at least some of the exterior surfaces of the carry bag at some positions within its range of motion. In this manner, at least some of the cut-out panel is visible on the exterior of the carry bag and the position of the cut-out panel can be selectively altered by the user.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems and techniques for producing complex components using a reinforced thermoplastic material. The complex components can include contoured or curved outer surfaces, and in some cases define a cavity. In certain examples, one or more thermoplastic materials are arranged to form a wheel component, such as that adapted to define a rim of the bicycle. Thermal bonding can be used to join multiple reinforced thermoplastic materials to one another in order to form a cavity of the wheel component or other complex shape. In certain examples, a portion of a tooling assembly can be pressurized to maintain a shape of the cavity during thermal bonding and cooling. This can remove the need for a sacrificial bladder or other structure that would maintain the shape of the cavity, allowing for a seamless final component, optionally absent indicia of bladder exit or other seams.
