Abstract: The disclosed merchant server initiates a verification process in response to receiving an account identifier for an account in response to a payment selection by an account holder. In response to confirming enrollment of the account in a verification service, the merchant server receives an access point (e.g., a uniform resource locator (URL), API, etc.) and presents an offer interface corresponding to the access point. The offer interface includes a value added offer based on a profile of the account. The merchant server receives a credential and an acceptance indicator in response to the account holder accepting the value added offer. The merchant server may send an authorization request to a transaction authorization system.

Abstract: A high-speed sectional overhead door covers a door opening with panels stacked in a single plane and lifted from the bottom-most panel. As panels are lifted, each rolls in its own individual track. As the panels move into the head area, they run through curved tracks and are nested there. The stored panels stacked horizontally one atop another with the door open. This design utilizes a dedicated panel-track pairing as well as a unique hook/cam device which allows for the upper panel to be both locked in the closed position and pushed away for separation and storage in the open position.

Abstract: A system for applying access permissions to read requests may write a file to a storage media. The file may contain data, an embedded flag, and an embedded verification datum of the embedded flag. The embedded flag may indicate an access permissions requisite for file access. The system may also receive a request to access the file from a user and retrieve an access permission for the user. The system may also compare the embedded flag to the access permission for the user to determine the user has permission to access the file. A verification datum may be calculated, and the calculated verification datum may be compared to the embedded verification datum to determine the embedded flag has not changed.

Abstract: Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, identifying a plurality of mobile devices implementing an application, and identifying a group of mobile devices from among the plurality of mobile devices according to a first movement pattern of the group of mobile devices. Further aspects can include identifying a first mobile edge compute (MEC) node at a first location according to a proximity threshold that does not include a MEC agent for the application, and identifying a second MEC node at a second location that includes the MEC agent for the application according to the proximity threshold. Additional aspects can include determining a first network relative performance (NRP) metric associated with a first communications between the group of mobile devices and the second MEC node. The first communications are associated with the application. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Abstract: A rapid access firearm safe having a rigid body with a secure interior storage compartment and a door for accessing a firearm. The door is hingedly attached to the lower portion of the body such that the door swings open from an upper portion of the body, and a firearm retaining mechanism is located on the interior side of the door and releasably holds at least one firearm thereto. A locking mechanism is integrated into the upper portion of the safe body and accessible from the exterior, and the locking mechanism selectively holds the door firmly against the body thereby securely enclosing the interior storage compartment and releases the door from the body upon deactivation by receiving user input.

Abstract: Provided is a polyimide powder composition containing a thermoplastic polyimide resin powder (A) and silica particles (B) having a volume average particle size D50 of 90 nm or less.
Abstract: The present invention provides a method for producing an aromatic nitrile compound, the method comprising a dehydration reaction wherein a desired compound can be selectively obtained with high yield while suppressing the generation of by-products during the regeneration of an aromatic amide compound into the corresponding aromatic nitrile compound. In addition, the present invention realizes a method for efficiently producing a carbonate ester by applying the abovementioned production method to a method for producing a carbonate ester. The above are achieved by means of a method for producing an aromatic nitrile compound involving a dehydration reaction wherein an aromatic amide compound is dehydrated, the method having a contact step for bringing the aromatic amide compound into contact with a catalyst in a gas phase during the dehydration reaction.
