  • Publication number: 20240386412
    Abstract: A payment service provider device determines that a first geolocation of a user device is within a predetermined proximity to a second geolocation associated with a merchant Point-Of-Sale (POS) device that is coupled to a network and provides, via the network to the merchant POS device, a communication that includes a user identifier associated with a user of the user device, such that the communication causes the user identifier to be displayed on a display device associated with the merchant POS device and the user is checked-in at a merchant location associated with the merchant POS and the second geolocation. The payment service provider device receives, via the network, a payment request that is associated with the user identifier, and then completes the payment request using a user account associated with the user identifier.

  • Patent number: 12132746
    Abstract: A threat management facility receives data from a variety of sources such as compute instances within an enterprise network, cloud service providers supporting the enterprise network, and third-party data providers such as geolocation services. In order to facilitate prompt notification of potential risks, the threat management facility may incrementally update data for use in threat assessments as the data becomes available from these different sources, and create suitable alerts or notifications whenever the currently accumulated data provides an indication of threat meeting a predetermined threshold.

  • Publication number: 20240080641
    Abstract: A method for using location-based services for service management is discussed. The method includes receiving, at a server, a user request from a user device at a geographical location. The method includes accessing a store search to determine a store reference based on the user request and a user location corresponding to the geographical location, the store reference indicating tenant(s) accessible to the user via a user interface (UI) of the user device. The method includes accessing location data for the user device based on the store reference and a user account associated with the user, the location data indicating a service accessible via the UI and associated with a certain tenant. The method includes providing, to the user device and based on the location data, a user experience for accessing the service via the UI.

  • Publication number: 20240067829
    Abstract: A thermal barrier coating for an internal combustion engine includes an insulating thermal spray coating, where a chosen material of the insulating thermal spray coating has a thermal conductivity lower than 2 W/mK in fully dense form and the chosen material includes a coefficient of thermal expansion within 5 ppm/K of a coefficient of thermal expansion of a material of a component of the internal combustion engine upon which the coating is placed.

  • Publication number: 20230114719
    Abstract: A platform for managing threat data integrates threat data from a variety of sources including internal threat data from instrumented compute instances associated with an enterprise network and threat data from one or more independent, external resources. Threat assessments are incrementally revised as this threat data is asynchronously received from various sources, and a threat intervention container is automatically created and presented to an investigator when a composite threat score for one or more of the compute instances meets a predetermined threshold.

  • Patent number: 11516872
    Abstract: Various systems, mediums, and methods may involve a bridge configured to communicate with a number of sites, such as fuel sites and/or restaurant sites. For example, a system may determine a mobile device is associated with a given fuel site, possibly located at the given fuel site, among a number of other fuel sites. Further, the system may determine one or more connections of the bridge that may be configured to communicate with a site component of the fuel site. As such, the system may transmit fuel data to the mobile device based on the one or more connections with the site component. Thus, the mobile device may display an indication of fuel available at the fuel site.
