Abstract: A method includes a computer receiving a request to conduct an interaction from a mobile device. The computer obtains a computer address and provides the computer address to the mobile device. The mobile device provides an access request to the computer address, and the access request is thereafter routed to an identity provider computer. The identity provider computer identifies identity data associated with the mobile device or a user of the mobile device. The computer obtains the identity data or a derivative of the identity data from the identity provider computer. The computer determines if the identity data or the derivative of the identity data matches previously stored identity data or a previously stored derivative of identity data. If a match is determined, the computer provides a list of user device identifiers to the mobile device.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to computer implemented methods and systems for processing of workorder evidence. The workorder has associated objects of interest and metadata describing at least one workorder attribute. Workorder evidence to be processed comprises an image. The image is validated to assess whether the image is associated with the workorder. Validation comprises one or both of comparing image attributes to workorder attributes to detect a match, and comparing the image to previous images to ensure that the image is not a match for a previous image. The system or method detects whether an object of interest is depicted in the image using an object detection algorithm. The workorder evidence is classified depending on whether the image is detected as valid and the object or interest is detected in the image.

Abstract: A bi-directional direct current (DC) solid state power controller (SSPC) architecture and control method. The SSPC protects a DC distribution system by isolating both the positive and negative buses independently in case of short circuit or ground fault. The SSPC architecture includes two self-heal interleaved capacitors and includes a fast, soft-charging control technique that provides line-isolated charging of the DC bulk capacitor to avoid inrush current when powering up the DC distribution system. The soft-charging function alternately charges one of the two interleaved capacitors, while the other capacitor discharges to the DC bulk capacitor. Repetitive switching results in a charging and discharging process that increases the voltage of the DC bulk capacitor prior to powering up the DC distribution system, while keeping the DC power source isolated from the load.
