  • Systems and methods for translating a gesture to initiate a financial transaction
    Patent number: 11823146
    Abstract: Systems and methods for initiating and/or facilitating a financial transaction in response to detecting and translating a spatial gesture may be provided. A payor transaction device may be capable of detecting, via a motion-detecting device, a payor spatial gesture corresponding to a payment gesture of one or more predetermined spatial gestures and, responsive to detecting the payor spatial gesture, receiving payee account information from a payee transaction device. The payor transaction device may also be capable of transmitting, to a payor computing device, transaction data comprising the payee account information and data indicative of the payor spatial gesture. The payor computing device may be capable of transmitting at least a portion of the transaction data to a financial service provider terminal to enable the financial service provider terminal to facilitate the requested transaction.

  • Mitigating slow instances in large-scale streaming pipelines
    Patent number: 11822454
    Abstract: A system is described herein for mitigating slow process instances in a streaming application. The system includes a slow process instance candidate identifier configured to identify, based on a relative watermark latency, a set of slow process instance candidates from among a plurality of process instances that comprise the streaming application. The system further includes a set of filters configured to remove false positives from the set of slow process instance candidates. The filters account for window operations performed by the process instances as well as stabilization time needed for downstream process instances to stabilize after a slow upstream process instance is mitigated by a mitigation implementer, which may also be included in the system.

  • Systems and methods for single-axis tracking via sky imaging and machine leanring comprising a neural network to determine an angular position of a photovoltaic power system
    Patent number: 11823409
    Abstract: A system and method is disclosed for solar tracking and controlling an angular position of a photovoltaic power system. The solar tracking system includes an imaging device for capturing images of the sky; a solar position data generating module; and a control system comprising a neural network. The neural network has multiple convolutional layers to generate a first output associated with the images, and a solar position data module. A first dense layer module receives the solar position data and generates a second output. A second dense layer module receives the first output and the second output and generates a concatenated data sequence. A processor is programmed to generate a multi-planar irradiance signal (MPIS) in response to the concatenated data sequence, and determine an angular position of the PV power system and adjust the angular position in response to an angle of maximum irradiance.

  • Near field communication device capable of operating in a powered or unpowered mode
    Patent number: 11824598
    Abstract: In some implementations, a near field communication (NFC) device may determine whether the NFC device is to perform a wireless transaction in a powered mode or an unpowered mode, and may selectively perform the wireless transaction in the powered mode or the unpowered mode based on determining whether the NFC device is to perform the wireless transaction in the powered mode or the unpowered mode. The wireless transaction may be performed using power from a power source internal to the NFC device when the wireless transaction is performed in the powered mode. The wireless transaction may be performed without using power from the power source internal to the NFC device when the wireless transaction is performed in the unpowered mode.

  • Power control for small data transmission
    Patent number: 11825544
    Abstract: A wireless device receives a radio resource control (RRC) release message indicating a small data transmission (SDT) time window for an SDT in an RRC inactive state. The wireless device transmits, during the SDT time window, an initial uplink transmission using a first power control adjustment (PCA) state being reset to zero. The wireless device transmits, using a second PCA state, a second uplink transmission. In response to the second uplink transmission being subsequent to the initial uplink transmission during the SDT time window, the second PCA state is based on the first PCA state and one or more transmit power control command values received during the SDT time window.
