  • Publication number: 20230230055
    Abstract: Processing a payment transaction from a payer (operating a payer computing system) to a payee (operating a merchant computing system) by a secure computing system. The secure computing system outputs a financial account registration request form to the payer computing system (e.g., within a window or frame that is displayed within an ecommerce webpage provided by the merchant computing system) for the payer to provide sensitive financial account information, securely stores the sensitive financial account information, maintains compliance with an information security standard (e.g., a Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard), and provides a non-sensitive electronic data token representing the sensitive financial account information to the merchant computing system.

  • Patent number: 11681065
    Abstract: A method and system for estimating a full elastic tensor. The method may comprise taking a measurement for compressional wave sonic data and cross-dipole shear data with a sonic logging tool at a first location as cross-dipole data, processing the compressional wave sonic data to produce a compressional wave slowness (P), and processing the cross-dipole shear data to produce a fast horizontal polarized shear wave slowness (SH) and a slow quazi-vertical shear wave slowness (qSV) as a function of depth. The method may further comprise setting an initial guess for at least five constants of the full elastic tensor for Vertical Transversely Isotropy (VTI) symmetry, determining a modeled slowness surfaces from the full elastic tensor, and comparing the modeled slowness surfaces with measured values of the P, the SH, and the qSV. The method may be performed by a system comprising a sonic logging tool and an information handling system.
