Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for security breach notification. In one implementation, an indication of a security breach is received, at a first device with respect to a user account. Based on the indication of the security breach, a processing device generates a security breach notification, the security breach notification including an instruction to initiate at an account repository one or more actions with respect to the user account. An attempt is made to transmit the security breach notification to the account repository via a first communication interface of the first device. In response to a determination that the security breach notification was not successfully transmitted to the account repository, the security breach notification is transmitted to a second device via a second communication interface of the first device.

Abstract: It is an object of the invention to improve MRI based treatment, especially MRI based radiotherapy. This object is achieved by a method for calibrating a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) phantom having an expected geometry and comprising at least one MRI detectable part with a position within the geometry which is known with a geometric inaccuracy. The method comprises the following steps: step 1: placing the phantom at a predetermined location in a magnetic resonance system such that the MRI detectable part is within a symmetry plane of a gradient system of the magnetic resonance imaging system and; step 2: acquiring an MRI image of the MRI detectable part of the phantom by means of a first sequence, wherein the MRI image comprises multiple slices; step 3: determining the geometric inaccuracy of the MRI detectable part of the MRI phantom based on the position and the representation of the part in the MRI image.

The token map can be flexibly configured, it may be generated and/or changed on the fly, and its design could preserve data format and provide multilingual support. The innovative tokenization process is fast, secure, scalable through cloud-native design but less costly as compared to prior approaches.

Abstract: A method implemented on a visual computing device to authenticate one or more users includes receiving a first three-dimensional pattern from a user. The first three-dimensional pattern is sent to a server computer. At a time of user authentication, a second three-dimensional pattern is received from the user. The second three-dimensional pattern is sent to the server computer. An indication is received from the server computer as to whether the first three-dimensional pattern matches the second three-dimensional pattern within a margin of error. When the first three-dimensional pattern matches the second three-dimensional pattern within the margin of error, the user is authenticated at the server computer. When the first three-dimensional pattern does not match the second three-dimensional pattern within the margin of error, user is prevented from being authenticated at the server computer.

Abstract: Methods and systems for location-based mobile wallets are disclosed. A one-time mobile wallet can be established on a mobile device and associated with a travel itinerary. Device data and external data can be used with the travel itinerary to determine a travel assistance action. The location of the mobile device can be determined using GPS and/or contactless terminal data, for example. Based on the location of the mobile device and the travel itinerary, a travel assistance action can be performed. This can, for example, include presenting wallet elements to a user or automatically initiating a phone call to a service provider listed in the travel itinerary. In this way, travel assistance can vary with the location of the mobile device. After expiration of the duration, the one-time mobile wallet can be disabled.
