Abstract: A device may receive, from a server device, a real-time notification indicating that a field of a user account is being modified. The field may include personal information of a user associated with the user account and/or information identifying authorized users of the user account. The device may receive, from a user device, a request associated with a high-risk transaction involving the user account. The device may determine a risk score indicating a likelihood of the high-risk transaction being performed by an unauthorized user. The device may selectively identify an authentication procedure, of a group of authentication procedures, based on the risk score. The device may provide authentication instructions for the authentication procedure to the user device to allow the user device to perform the authentication procedure.

Abstract: Devices configured to operate on an angled surface (e.g., a roof), and associated systems and methods are disclosed herein.

The body assembly can include a body frame, and a plurality of positioning assemblies coupleable to cables and configured to position and/or orient the body frame on the surface. The arm assembly includes a proximal end portion rotatably coupled to the body portion and a distal end portion opposite the proximal end portion. The material handling assembly is coupled to the distal end portion of the arm assembly and is configured to carry a surface material to be positioned on the angled surface.

Abstract: Conventional resource management systems often merely assign resource data to accounts determined on a yearly basis, which does not provide an efficient means of planning for changes at a more granular level, or for making adjustments if an allocation needs to be modified during a budget period. An embodiment of the invention provides a method for managing modifications to an allocation. Modifications to an allocation may be represented as deltas, and the deltas may be evaluated against a set of rules to determine a precedence for selectively applying the deltas. The deltas may be selectively applied to the allocation according to the precedence to generate an allocation instance, and the allocation instance may be adapted into a location of a user interface.

Abstract: Provided are systems and methods for improving movement irregularities.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a handheld excavator. The handheld excavator is used for excavating small areas and spaces that are unreachable with a standard excavator. The handheld excavator does not have an operator's seat and can have a four-legged stand, a wheeled stand, or a wall-mounted attachment. The excavator has a 180 degree rotational platform positioned on the stand, a boom extending from the platform, an arm attached to a first end of the boom, and a bucket. The linear and rotational movements of the excavator are controlled by a detachable control panel for remotely operating the handheld excavator. The handheld excavator is powered through built-in batteries and has a hydraulic mechanism for driving the movements.

Abstract: A processing system includes a sensor module configured to receive first and second signals from first and second sensor electrodes, respectively, and generate a combination signal. The processing system further includes a determination module configured to determine, using the first sensor electrode, an absolute capacitive coupling to an input object; determine, using the first and second sensor electrodes, a transcapacitive coupling; determine a ratio of the absolute to transcapacitive coupling; determine, using the combination signal, in absence of a predetermined low ground mass state, and when the ratio fails to exceed a predetermined threshold, first positional information regarding a location of the input object; and determine, when the ratio fails to exceed the predetermined threshold and in presence of the predetermined low ground mass state, second positional information regarding the location of the input object in the sensing region using an absolute capacitive scan.

Abstract: A device for dispensing a material under pressure comprises one or more elastic portions defining a chamber within which the material is to be contained, and one or more non-elastic portions that are coupled to the elastic portion(s). The device optionally and preferably also includes an outlet for dispensing the material out of the chamber. When the material is contained within the chamber, the elastic portion(s) is stretched to apply inwardly directed compressive forces and urge a reduction in a volume of the chamber.
