Patent number: 10810585Abstract: Systems and methods provide multi-function authentication. One exemplary method includes receiving a request to opt into multi-function authentication. A primary operation-based key is generated by the communication device, the operation-based key accessible based on authentication of the user and available for use after the authentication. The primary key is imported, by an application, into a secure key data structure, such that it is only accessible by the application. When the biometric authentication of the user is successful, the communication device transmits to an account server an indication that the user is eligible for multi-function authentication. The communication device receives a time-based secondary key from the account server, wherein the time-based key is useable only during a defined interval. The application links the secondary key to the primary key and imports the secondary key into the data structure such that it is only accessible via the primary key.Type: GrantFiled: July 6, 2018Date of Patent: October 20, 2020Assignee: MASTERCARD INTERNATIONAL INCORPORATEDInventors: Asif Kadiwala, Nirmish Dholakia, Sunil Mishra, Chao Zeng, Hemant Bhanushali

Patent number: 7626697Abstract: The present invention provides a grating photometer comprising a light splitting box, a preamplifier box, a photodiode array and optical assembly. The light splitting box has a light splitting chamber. There are provided a first extinction hole and second extinction hole respectively on the side wall of the light splitting chamber and on the preamplifier box to correspond to zero order spectrum line. The first hole is a through hole and the second hole is a blind hole. The configuration of the first and second extinction holes direct the zero order spectrum to go into the second extinction hole, as a result, generates a rather small number of stray light in the light splitting chamber coming from the scattering of the zero order spectrum from the second extinction hole, thus suppresses effectively the stray light and improves the signal-to-noise ratio of the photometer.Type: GrantFiled: September 13, 2007Date of Patent: December 1, 2009Assignee: Shenzhen Mindray Bio-Medical Electronics Co., Ltd.Inventors: Jinhong Qiu, Chao Zeng, Jing Cao
