  • Patent number: 10810585
    Abstract: 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.

  • Publication number: 20190156507
    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure provide a method for processing point cloud data. A plurality of frames of the point cloud data collected from an environment surrounding a pathway are classified into categories based on distances between three-dimensional points of respective frames of the point cloud data and a reference plane of the respective frame of the point cloud data. The distances indicate heights of the three-dimensional points of the plurality of frames of the point cloud data. The frames of the point cloud data of a same one of the categories that matches a pathway object are merged. Candidate point cloud data of three-dimensional points having distances from the pathway that satisfy a predetermined condition is extracted from the merged frames of the point cloud data. Point cloud data conforming to a feature of the pathway object is extracted from the candidate point cloud data.

  • Patent number: 7626697
    Abstract: 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.
