  • Patent number: 11950101
    Abstract: An embodiment includes a method to increase the efficiency of security checkpoint operations. A security checkpoint kiosk serves as a Relying Party System (RPS). The RPS establishes a secure local connection between the RPS and a User Mobile-Identification-Credential Device (UMD). The RPS sends a user information request to the UMD, via the secure local connection, seeking release of user information associated with a Mobile Identification Credential (MIC). The RPS obtains authentication of the user information received in response to the user information request. The RPS retrieves user travel information based on the user information. The RPS determines that the user travel information matches the user information. When the user travel information matches the user information, the RPS approves the user to proceed past the security checkpoint kiosk.

  • Patent number: 11748182
    Abstract: A method and system for interoperability between mark-up language applications, executable within a browser container, includes accessing a first exchange script in the first application and a second exchange script in the second application. The method and system includes executing the applications on the processing device and executing a microservices module disposed at a desktop services layer between the first application and the browser container and between the second application and the browser container. The method and system includes communicating between the applications and the microservices module using exchange scripts, as well as determining, within the microservices module, an interaction in the first application and generating an action command for orchestrating interoperability, transferring the action command from the microservices module to the second application and performing a processing operation in the second application based on the action command.

  • Publication number: 20230260253
    Abstract: A machine-learning model is trained using images of structures including defects and images of structures not including defects. Preprocessing is performed on the images before training the machine-learning model. The trained machine-learning model is used to classify defects within images of structures. Images of structures with defects are identified, and the probabilities of the identification/defect classification are obtained.
