  • Publication number: 20240112180
    Abstract: A computerized method is provided for digitally signing a digital document related to a transaction request from a customer. The method includes receiving, by a computing device, data related to the transaction request from the customer via a web-based interface. Receipt of the transaction data initiates a request session. The method also includes recording during the request session a voice signature sample from the customer via the web-based user interface and verifying the customer for the transaction request by comparing the voice signature sample with a stored voice print of the customer. Further, a consolidated record for the transaction request is generated that includes the transaction data and the transaction result. The digital document is populated with the transaction data if the customer is verified, where the digital document is treated as being digitally signed by the customer.

  • Patent number: 8417787
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for building, maintaining, and scoring lists of electronic communication addresses of users by providing users with ongoing access to protected electronic content in exchange for the users engaging in ongoing electronic interactions with the sender that improve the deliverability of electronic communications from the sender to the users' electronic communication addresses. Electronic communications, such as emails, text messages and instant messages, are sent from an electronic communication sender to a user using an electronic communication receiver, through a network, such as the Internet. The network includes an electronic communication evaluator that rates the sender based on the ongoing electronic interactions. Additionally, the protected electronic content may be monetized by charging third-party advertisers for the electronic interactions.

  • Publication number: 20040094055
    Abstract: A ready-to-image gravure sleeve is supplied with a resist layer applied over the copper. The sleeve is loaded on a mandrel in an imaging device and imaged directly using an imagewise controllable radiation source. In subsequent processing steps the resist is developed and subjected to a chemical etch to form the gravure image in the copper.
