Abstract: An object detection system comprises two or more directional antennas arranged such that lobes of the antennas overlap within a designated area or volume. An electronic device detecting signals from at least two of the directional antennas is determined to be inside the area/volume, and a device detecting signals from none of the antennas or only one antenna is determined not to be inside the area/volume. In this manner, the system determines when a user has placed an electronic device within the area/volume, logs the time the electronic device is within the area/volume, and reports the logged time to the user and/or a central system. The area/volume can comprise a platform, a box, or other confined space.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to one or more embodiments of mailer package assemblies including a fixed release liner and a mailer package. The fixed release liner is removably or detachably coupled to the mailer package by an adhesive layer. The fixed release liner includes one or more wickets (e.g., openings) such that the fixed release liner may be mounted to a wall by inserting fasteners (e.g., tack(s), pin(s), etc.) into the openings. The mailer package may be removed, detached, or decoupled from the fixed release liner by pulling on the mailer package decoupling the fixed release liner from the mailer package. After the mailer package is removed, an packaging associate may place an item or product within the mailer package to be shipped to a consumer. After the mailer package is removed from the fixed release liner, the fixed release liner remains mounted to the wall.

Abstract: The disclosed exemplary embodiments include computer-implemented systems, apparatuses, and processes that perform homomorphic computations on encrypted third-party data within a distributed computing environment. For example, an apparatus receives a homomorphic public key and encrypted transaction data characterizing an exchange of data from a computing system, and encrypts modelling data associated with a first predictive model using the homomorphic public key. The apparatus may perform homomorphic computations that apply the first predictive model to the encrypted transaction data in accordance with the encrypted first modelling data, and transmit an encrypted first output of the homomorphic computations to the computing system, which may decrypt the encrypted first output using a homomorphic private key and generate decrypted output data indicative of a predicted likelihood that the data exchange represents fraudulent activity.

Abstract: A plunger lock mechanism including a housing containing a rotationally supported lever shaped component, the component including at least one notch or recess configured within an arcuate surface. An electric motor is configured to rotate a cam extending within the housing, the cam actuating at least one plunger having an extending portion aligning with a selected notch. Upon rotation of the cam by the motor, the plunger is caused to displace between either of engaged and disengaged positions with the component such that, when disengaged, permitting rotation of the component.

Abstract: The disclosed exemplary embodiments include computer-implemented systems, apparatuses, and processes that dynamically manage exchanges of data using a cryptographically secure distributed ledger and homomorphic commitments. For example, and in response to an occurrence of a triggering event, an apparatus may obtain parameter values that characterize the data exchange, first commitment values representative of the parameter values, and a first digital signature.
