  • Publication number: 20240096160
    Abstract: An automated voting platform can allow a user to register to vote, view information about candidates, and submit votes in an election using his or her own personal computing device. To minimize the likelihood of voter fraud, the automated voting platform can implement an authentication process that requires the user to submit biometric or other identification information prior to being enabled to access the user's account with the automated voting platform. This authentication process can also require the user to repeatedly submit biometric information thereby ensuring that the same user continues to use the computing device while accessing the user's account.

  • Patent number: 11708103
    Abstract: A material handling cart is provided, having a frame with wheels and engaging members for supporting a part carried by the cart. Each engaging member has an engaging surface including a material for protecting a corresponding surface of the part from damage. Upper supports are attached to the frame and extend upward to a distal end, and have a height equal to or greater than a height of the part when the part is carried by the cart. Each upper support has an upper stacking coupler at its distal end. Lower stacking couplers are attached to the bottom of the frame. The lower stacking couplers engage upper stacking couplers of a second identical cart, to stack the cart above the second cart. The upper stacking couplers engage lower stacking couplers of a third identical cart, to stack the third material handling cart above the cart.

  • Patent number: 9645839
    Abstract: A cloud computing environment may use a virtualization layer within a stateless cloud computing process to capture, store, and retrieve state information generated by a stateful application executing within the process. The virtualization layer may monitor various state storage systems to identify changes to stateful items and store the stateful items in a state storage mechanism. The virtualization layer may intercept and redirect calls to the stateful items stored in the state storage mechanism. A cloud computing manager may start and stop the stateless cloud computing process, and may recover the state and resume executing the application.

  • Publication number: 20150142663
    Abstract: Systems, methods and computer-readable media for optimizing financial transactions are disclosed. Candidate source and target financial accounts may be respectively identified based on source and target identifiers. Respective candidate source payment networks configured to access each candidate source financial account and respective candidate target payment networks configured to access each candidate target financial account may be identified. Based at least in part on an analysis of one or more rules, a set of transaction options may be generated. Each transaction option may be associated with a particular combination of source and target financial accounts and payment networks and may further be associated with one or more transaction characteristics. Respective transaction options information associated with one or more of the transaction options may be transmitted and potentially presented to a financial transaction requestor.
