Publication number: 20250289066Abstract: A gland repair tool is for repairing a gland seal in a high-pressure valve. The gland repair tool includes a tool body configured for attachment to an injection shutoff device fitted to a wall of the valve that is opposite the gland seal. A drill passage extends through the tool body and is configured to receive a drill bit for drilling a hole through the wall. A rotary seal creates a seal preventing the high-pressure medium from escaping the drill passage past the drill bit. A cooling circuit includes a cooling fluid inlet configured to convey a cooling fluid into the drill passage, a cooling fluid outlet configured to convey the cooling fluid out of the drill passage, and a one-way valve configured to prevent the cooling fluid from escaping the drill passage via the cooling fluid inlet. Corresponding assemblies and methods of operating the gland repair tool are provided.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 11, 2025Publication date: September 18, 2025Applicant: Enerpac Tool Group Corp.Inventors: Bryan Hall, Frank Havemann

Patent number: 12218943Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatuses for authenticating requests to access one or more accounts over a network using authenticity evaluations of two or more automated decision engines are discussed. A login request for access to a user account may be submitted to multiple decision engines that each apply different rulesets for authenticating the login request, and output an evaluation of the authenticity of the login request. Based on evaluations from multiple automated decision engines, the login request may be allowed to proceed to validation of user identity and, if user identity is validated, access to the user account may be authorized. Based on the evaluations, the login attempt may also be rejected. One or more additional challenge question may be returned to the computing device used to request account access, and the login request allowed to proceed to validation of identity if the response to the challenge question is deemed acceptable.Type: GrantFiled: November 27, 2023Date of Patent: February 4, 2025Assignee: Wells Fargo Bank, N.A.Inventors: Mark David Castonguay, Upul D.

Patent number: 11775978Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media utilized for event-based authentication. One method includes recognizing an event and receiving, from a device, a withdrawal request of a user, wherein the withdrawal request includes a captured feature by the device. The method further includes determining that the user is associated with the recognized event using at least a geographic proximity between the event and the withdrawal request, wherein the geographic proximity is a given radius around a location of the event, and wherein the device is within the given radius and adjusting authentication rules based on the determination that the user is associated with the recognized event, wherein the adjustment of the authentication rules includes adjusting a matching threshold between the captured feature and a reference feature. The method further includes processing the withdrawal request for the user based on the adjusted authentication rules.Type: GrantFiled: May 19, 2021Date of Patent: October 3, 2023Assignee: Wells Fargo Bank, N.A.Inventors: Michael Chang, John Chuprevich, Kevin R.

Patent number: 11038918Abstract: The innovation disclosed and claimed herein, in one aspect thereof, comprises a management system and method of handling unpatched users. When a user requests to access their user account or a network, the user is checked for type of browser the user is being used and which version of the browser is being used. If the user is using an unsecured or unpatched browser, the system offers to update the browser software or provide a virtual machine through the browser so that malware cannot transfer from the user computer to the network. The virtual machine can provide a virtual keyboard to protect the user's login credentials from a key logger. The user logs into the user account within the virtual machine.Type: GrantFiled: June 24, 2019Date of Patent: June 15, 2021Assignee: WELLS FARGO BANK, N.A.Inventors: Aimee J. Hewitt, Joseph R.
