  • Patent number: 10863323
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for correlating delivery receipt (DLR) messages with short message service (SMS) messages sent in an application-to-person (A2P) manner through a messaging network comprising multiple data centers. SMS and DLR messages are received and stored into a correlator comprising a local and a global storage area. It is then determined whether a received DLR message corresponds to a received SMS message within a local timeout period associated with the received SMS message. When corresponding DLR and SMS messages have been received they are correlated and the DLR message is sent to the sending SMS client. When corresponding DLR and SMS messages have not been received the location of a global storage area of a correlator in a data center where the DLR and SMS messages are intended to be stored is derived.

  • Patent number: 10810639
    Abstract: An automated traffic control and billing system for billboard advertising searches a relational database having contract terms for billboards having powered features (such as illumination), and establishes one or more approval conditions for a specific billboard based on its corresponding contract terms. An approval condition may be payment of an invoice by a due date. The system monitors compliance with the approval condition, and generates a control signal when non-compliance is detected. A local signage control unit co-located at the billboard disables operation of the powered feature in response to the control signal. In those cases where the billboard has multiple powered features, the local signage control unit can selectively disable only one of the powered features associated with the non-paying customer. The powered feature is disabled according to different means depending on its nature; in an illustrative embodiment electricity to the feature is simply turned off.

  • Publication number: 20200304511
    Abstract: A system is provided for controlling access to data stored in a cloud-based storage service. A first request is received to access data stored at the cloud-based storage service, the data associated with a user account. The first request is authenticated based on a username and password associated with the user account. A second request is received for a file that is stored in an area associated with a heightened authentication protocol. The heightened authentication protocol is performed to authenticate the second request. In response to authenticating the second request, permission is granted to a temporary strong authentication state. The permission is to access the file that is stored in the area associated with the heightened authentication protocol.

  • Publication number: 20200304481
    Abstract: A system is provided for facilitating access to data stored in a cloud-based storage service. Data associated with a user account is stored at the cloud-based storage service. A portion of the data is associated with a heightened authentication protocol. A request for an application to receive data that is associated with the heightened authentication protocol is received at the cloud-based storage service. In response to the request, the request is authenticated based on the heightened authentication protocol. In response to authenticating the request, permission is granted for the application to receive the data that is associated with the heightened authentication protocol. In response to a locking of the data that is associated with the heightened authentication protocol, an indication that the data is unavailable is sent to the application.

  • Patent number: 10735398
    Abstract: Techniques are described for single or multi-factor authentication. An access request is received followed by a prompt for authentication data comprising a segment of a continuous rolling authentication code. Upon receipt of the segment of a continuous rolling authentication code, it is compared to another version of the continuous rolling authentication code generated by an algorithm and shared secret key known to both parties. The access request may be authenticated when the segment of the rolling authentication code received in response to the prompt for authentication data matches a segment the continuous rolling authentication code generated. Otherwise, it is rejected.

  • Patent number: 10728719
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for passing short message service (SMS) messages between sending and receiving SMS service providers over a network comprising a default data center and one or more alternative data centers. The default data center may receive message segments of an SMS message from the sending SMS provider into a local storage area of a concatenator comprising a local and a global storage area. The message segments may include segmentation information indicative of a number of message segments associated with the SMS message, routing information, the sending SMS provider, and the receiving SMS provider. When all the message segments have been received within a local timeout period, the default data center concatenates the message segments into a single SMS message and sends it to the receiving SMS service provider.

  • Publication number: 20200051783
    Abstract: Provided herein are deposition systems utilizing coated grids in an ion deposition process which provide more predictable erosion of the coating rather than erosion of the grid itself. Further, coatings may be utilized in which the coating material does not act as a contaminant to the deposition process, thereby eliminating contamination of the sample surface due to deposition of unwanted grid material. Also provided are methods of refurbishing a coated grid by periodically replacing the coating material thus protecting the grid itself and allowing a grid to be used indefinitely.
