Abstract: Transactions between account-based endpoints are performed in a two-step process that first qualifies the recipient's validity and then performs the actionable transfer. The qualification step, unlike a payment pre-qualification, validates the recipient account validity while collecting information required for filling out a transaction data set. The information may include anti-money laundering and know-your-customer information as well as specific account details needed for on-boarding. A recipient payouts service provider may be assigned a tokenized bank identification number for use in routing the transfer through existing financial processing networks. Data constructs, minimum required information, and format checks may be facilitated by initiator-side and recipient-side application program interfaces.

Abstract: Various embodiments of the present invention relate to a point-of-sale (POS) system, and more particularly, to systems, devices and methods of making secure payments using a mobile device in addition to a POS terminal that may be an insecure payment device exposed to various tamper attempts under certain circumstances. The mobile device is involved in a trusted transaction between a central financial entity, e.g., a bank, and the payment terminal, such that the insecure payment terminal may be further authenticated based on rolling codes, two-way or three-way authentication, or an off-line mode enabled by incorporation of the mobile device. Although either of the mobile device and the payment terminal provides limited security, a POS system incorporating both of them demonstrates an enhanced level of security.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to automated notification generation, where a generated notification comprises a live representation of a content update that is linked and synchronized with a distributed collaborative canvas (or other source content) comprising the content portion which is being updated. A non-limiting example of a content update is a message notification, such as an at-mention (@mention), that is included inline within a content portion. Other triggers for automated notification generation are also described. Generation of an exemplary notification comprises a contextual relevance analysis that not only selects, for a recipient of the message notification, a specific host application/service endpoint to present the notification in but also determines how/what specific content to present inline within the selected host application/service endpoint.

Abstract: This disclosure provides platforms for delivery of herpes virus proteins to cells, particularly proteins that form complexes in vivo. In some embodiments these proteins and the complexes they form elicit potent neutralizing antibodies. Thus, presentation of herpes virus proteins using the disclosed platforms permits the generation of broad and potent immune responses useful for vaccine development.

Abstract: Apparatus and associated methods relate to a lighting system configured to be suspended overhead between two supporting structures. A tensile force will be imparted to the lighting system as a consequence of suspending the lighting system overhead. The lighting system can include one or more lighting sections connected end to end. Each of the lighting sections has a structural support cable and a light string coupled thereto. Each of the lighting sections has first and second end connectors on first and second ends of the lighting section. The first and second end connectors provide mechanical connection between adjacent structural support cables as well as electrical connection between adjacent light strings. The lighting sections are configured such that the tensile force imparted to the lighting section is mostly borne by the structural support cable.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to wallboards, for example, suitable for use in constructing internal walls. The present disclosure relates more particularly to a wallboard and a method that provides simplified high-quality surface finishing. The wallboard includes a wall panel having a front surface and a rear surface. A sandable coating is disposed on the front surface of the wall panel. The method includes positioning wallboards adjacent to one another, applying sandable joint compound over joint formed between the wallboards, and sanding the joint compound and the sandable coating of the wallboards.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to antagonistic antibodies and antigen binding fragments thereof having binding specificity for PACAP. These antibodies inhibit, block or neutralize at least one biological effect associated with PACAP, e.g., vasodilation.
