  • Patent number: 11968271
    Abstract: Systems and methods for sender profile and/or recipient profile disambiguation and/or confirmation are disclosed. In instances where a sender profile is not indicated by a user sending a communication from a communal device, heuristic data may be utilized to infer the sender profile. Similar heuristic data may also be used when selection of the sender profile is associated with a low confidence level. Heuristic data may also be used to infer the recipient profile when the user does not indicate the recipient profile or when selection of the recipient profile is associated with a low confidence. Various confirmations may result from the sender and recipient profile disambiguation.

  • Patent number: 11780753
    Abstract: Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are destroyed by oxidation in supercritical conditions. PFAS in water can be concentrated and prepared for destruction in a pretreatment phase. Following annihilation of the PFAS in supercritical conditions to levels below 5 parts per trillion (ppt), the water effluent can be used to recover heat, returned to sub-critical conditions, and then released back into the environment.

  • Publication number: 20230190190
    Abstract: To determine impairment due to drugs or alcohol, an image capture component captures video of at least a head of a test subject. Cropped head images of the head of the test subject are extracted from sequential images of the video. For each cropped head image, a gaze angle of the test subject is determined from the cropped head image. The determined gaze angles are analyzed to determine horizontal nystagmus and/or angle of onset of nystagmus. A level of impairment of the test subject is determined from the horizontal nystagmus and/or angle of onset of nystagmus. A visual representation of the level of impairment of the test subject is generated on an associated display.

  • Publication number: 20220405734
    Abstract: An access management system comprises one or more databases and one or more computers. The one or more databases may store access data, accessor data, restriction data, and/or biometric data. The one or more computers may comprise an account identifier management computer, an authorization server computer, and/or an account management server computer. The account identifier management computer may generate account identifiers for physical or virtual cards. The cards may have interface-specific account identifiers. The authorization server computer may be communicatively coupled to an account access system that is used to obtain account identifiers as input. The authorization server computer may apply one or more restrictions to an account identifier. The account identifier management server computer may enable monitoring account activity and/or generate ephemeral phone numbers that can be used to authenticate callers to call recipients.

  • Patent number: 10657536
    Abstract: An access management system includes a database configured to store access data including account identifiers and accessor identifiers, wherein the access data indicates particular accounts that have been accessed by particular accessors. The access management system also includes a computer system that receives a reservation request comprising an account identifier and an accessor identifier and determines whether the account identifier is included in the database. The computer system also determines, in response to the account identifier being present in the database, whether the access data correlates the account identifier to the accessor and authorizes the reservation of the one or more resources in the account by the accessor in response to the access data correlating the account identifier to the accessor.

  • Patent number: 8262742
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of applying dye and stainblocker to a substrate comprising cationically dyeable fibers which reduces or eliminates the need for subsequent reapplication of dye. The present invention solves the problem of cationic dye removal resulting from stainblocker application by providing a method wherein application of stainblocker precedes the application of dye to a substrate comprising cationically dyeable fibers. Surprisingly, the invention provides a method wherein the effectiveness of cationic dye application is improved when preceded by stainblocker application compared to stainblocker application preceded by cationic dye application. The substrate comprising cationically dyeable fibers preferably further comprises acid dyeable fibers wherein even more preferably, said cationically dyeable fibers and acid dyeable fibers are attached to a backing to form a carpet.
