Abstract: A computer-implemented method performed by an issuer computer comprises receiving an authorization request for a transaction between a cardholder and a merchant using a first account identifier. A repository is searched for a preference set with the issuer by a cardholder to use a second account identifier when at least one transaction is received for the first account identifier. The transaction is authorized using the second account identifier in place of the first account identifier without knowledge by the merchant that the second account identifier was used. An authorization response is then returned to the merchant.

Abstract: Systems and methods for object identification are provided. In a method, primary data is received. The primary data is generated by a primary sensor that receives signals that are human perceptible and records a scene. Secondary data generated by a secondary sensor that simultaneously records the same scene is received. The secondary sensor receives signals that are not human perceptible. The primary data is processed to identify object signatures relating to objects present in the scene. The processed primary data is used to train a secondary data-based object identification model configured to identify, in the secondary data, object signatures relating to objects present in the scene. A method includes using the secondary data-based object identification model to process the secondary data to identify object signatures relating to objects present in the scene. A method includes augmenting the processed primary data with the processed secondary data.

Abstract: A symbiotic radar and communication system is disclosed. The system includes a plurality of base stations in communication with a wider communication network, each base station being configured to transmit and receive communication signals to and from a plurality of user terminals. The system performs communication data processing and radar data processing on received signals so that target object reflections contained therein can be resolved. Preferably, initial radar data processing is performed at each base station which embeds time and position information into the data and communicates it to a central radar server, the central server combining the received data from several of the base stations into a single range resolution profile.

Abstract: An apparatus having a plurality of buffers, a first circuit and a second circuit is disclosed. The buffers are configured to store a plurality of frames to be transmitted in a plurality of respective lanes of a communication channel. The first circuit is configured to (i) generate a plurality of first groups from a first number of a plurality of samples, at least one of the first groups contains an initial portion of a given one of the samples, and (ii) generate a first of the frames by appending the first groups. The second circuit is configured to (i) receive a final portion of the given sample from the first circuit, (ii) generate a plurality of second groups from the final portion of the given sample and a second number of the samples and (iii) generate a second of the frames by appending the second groups.
