Abstract: An agricultural harvester includes a swath detection system for determining a distribution of a swath in a field and a method of its use. The swath detection system includes: a swath sensor attached to the harvester and disposed to capture scan data of the distribution of the swath in the field; a sensor accelerometer disposed to capture sensor acceleration data at the same time as the swath sensor captures the scan data; and a controller operatively coupled to the swath sensor and the sensor accelerometer. The controller is configured to temporally correlate the scan data with the sensor acceleration data and merge the scan data whilst spatially aligning the scan data in dependence of the temporally correlated sensor acceleration data.

Abstract: A method includes authenticating an account holder via an automated teller machine (ATM) based on identification information, identifying an event associated with the account holder, and delivering a gift to the account holder via the ATM based on the account holder accessing the ATM at a time occurring within a time window associated with the event.

Abstract: The described financial institution computing system provides services to customers through an application programming interface (“API”). The services include user identification services to customers and payment services that allow users to pay the customers via the financial institution. The user identification services allow the customers to verify the identity of users as non-fraudulent users. Further the user identification services allow the financial institution to provide known user information to the customers for purposes of prepopulating registration forms, completing transactions, and the like. Further services, such as user account validation services, payment services, and the like are also possible through the financial institution APIs. In some situations, users are registered with the financial institution. For example, a user may also be an account holder with the financial institution. In other situations, the users are not registered with the financial institution.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described herein for performing vulnerability assessment on partially functional software applications (e.g., software applications currently at a phase in the development cycle prior to a user acceptance testing phase). By doing so, the system may detect vulnerabilities, if any, more easily based on the fewer functional components of the application. Additionally or alternatively, curing any vulnerabilities will require fewer modifications to the application's software, architecture, and/or intended functionality (as these characteristics are also earlier in their development cycle).

Abstract: A radiation hardened flip-flop includes a plurality of secondary flip-flops. Each secondary flip-flop includes both a data input terminal and an alternate data input terminal. Each secondary flip-flop also includes an enable terminal that selectively enables use of the alternate data input terminal. The radiation hardened flip-flop includes an error detection circuit that detects whether an error is present in one or more of the secondary flip-flops and provides an enable signal to the enable terminals indicating the presence or absence of an error in one or more of the secondary flip-flops.

Abstract: A stream switch includes a data router, configuration registers, and arbitration logic. The data router has a plurality of input ports, each having a plurality of associated virtual input channels, and a plurality of output ports, each having a plurality of associated virtual output channels. The data router transmits data streams from input ports to one or more output ports of the plurality of output ports. The configuration registers store configuration data associated with the virtual output channels of the respective output ports of the plurality of output ports. The stored configuration data identifies a source input port and virtual input channel ID associated with the virtual output channel of the output port. The arbitration logic allocates bandwidth of the data router based on request signals associated with virtual input channels of the input ports and the configuration data associated with the virtual output channels.

Abstract: An electrically conductive substrate has mutually opposed first and second surfaces and electrically conductive die pads and elongated electrically conductive connecting bars coupled to the electrically conductive die pads. The elongated connecting bars are configured to be cut at intermediate points along their length to provide singulated substrate portions and have distributed along their length first recesses at the first surface alternating with second recesses at the second surface. Cutting the elongated connecting bars at the intermediate points provides bar remainders extending from a distal end to an electrically conductive die pad in a singulated substrate portion. The bar remainders have a serpentine pattern with one or more offsets between their distal end exposed at the surface of the insulating encapsulation of the device package and the electrically conductive die pad.

Abstract: A mobile device includes a processing circuit that is configured to perform operations including enabling access to a client application during a first session based on a first device token identifying the first session and the mobile device and a customer token identifying a user and receiving a second device token from the computing system during the first session. The second device token identifies the mobile device and a second session. The operations further include receiving, during the first session, an identifier from the computing system. The identifier is associated with the user and generated by the computing system in response to a request from the mobile device. The operations further include receiving, via the mobile device during the first session and based on a comparison of the received identifier with an existing identifier, an approval for the request.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatuses for encouraging engagement with a rewards system are described herein. A customer associated with a customer device holds a rewards account with a provider associated with a provider computing system. The provider computing system receives rewards and payment card activity of the customer, analyzes the rewards and payment card activity, and generates a rewards engagement rating, which the provider uses to generate and transmit tailored rewards engagement messages to the customer device. The messages provide rewards earn and burn opportunities in which the customer can select to participate.

Abstract: A solid state die such as an LED (or OLED) die that is fitted in a hole such as a through hole in a carrier substrate such as a PCB. The die is to be connected to the PCB e.g. to tracks on the PCB. The electrical contacts on the die are arranged to be (e.g. substantially) in the same plane as the contacts on the carrier substrate such as the PCB. This is achieved by the holes in the substrate such as the PCB being adapted so that the dies fit into the holes or openings, i.e. are each taken up into an opening before electrical contacts are made.
