Abstract: An iris scanning device includes a first camera that captures an image of a face of a user and a second camera that captures an image of an eye of the user subsequent to the image of the face being captured. The iris scanning device includes a gimbal having a mirror mounted thereon and a facial feature detector that identifies facial features of the user based upon the image of the face. The iris scanning device further includes control circuitry that adjusts an orientation of the gimbal based upon the facial features, where the image of the eye is captured upon the orientation of the gimbal being adjusted, and where the mirror mounted on the gimbal is oriented to cause the image of the eye to be captured. An iris of the eye of the user may be located in a central region of the image of the eye.

Abstract: A computing system receives a code that is generated based upon an image of an iris of a first user. The image of the iris of the first user is captured by way of an iris scanning device that is under control of a second user. The computing system executes a search over a plurality of codes stored in a data store based upon the code, where the plurality of codes are generated based upon images of irises of a plurality of users. The computing system determines whether the code is included in the plurality of codes based upon search results for the search. Based upon a determination that the code is not included in the plurality of codes, the computing system causes an amount of cryptocurrency to be transferred to a cryptocurrency wallet of the first user.

Abstract: In a method and device for measuring current at a converter, the prevailing phase current is determined at the output of the converter by current-measuring devices, in order to supply it to a closed-loop control device assigned to the converter. The prevailing phase current to be ascertained at an output of the converter is measured independently at two current-measuring devices, and the measuring results of both current-measuring devices are utilized to determine the prevailing phase current.

Abstract: A multifunctional strip for a motor vehicle includes a panel element having a strip-shaped configuration and constructed for outputting first and second items of information which differ from one another; and at least one actuator for outputting an acoustic signal as one of the items of information. The multifunctional strip can be arranged on the outside of the body of the motor vehicle.
