Patent number: 11528339Abstract: Aspects described herein relate a computer system detecting an unusual activity event from activity data and sending a two-way notification message to a wireless device when a user has opt-in for a mobile application. The two-way push notification message is received at a wireless device and notification information is displayed at the wireless device outside the mobile application. The user selects one of the displayed action buttons to indicate whether the unusual activity event is valid or invalid. When a response to the computer system indicates that the unusual activity is valid, the computer system clears the inquiry and sends a subsequent push notification message to the wireless device informing the user. When the response indicates that the unusual activity is invalid, the computer system and the wireless device may establish an interaction through the mobile application in order to resolve the unusual activity event.Type: GrantFiled: July 16, 2021Date of Patent: December 13, 2022Assignee: Bank of America CorporationInventors: John David Welsh, Elliot Piatetsky, Andrew Scott Humm, Dana Michele Meadows, Amy Heather DeLeon

Patent number: 6819824Abstract: Optical switch packaging techniques and optical switch components are described. In one aspect, an optical switch component that includes a die mounted on an interposer is described. The die has an exposed array of mirrors that can be used as part of an optical switch. Typically, the interposer will also have a fiber array mount arranged to receive a fiber bundle and to position the fiber bundle appropriately over the array of mirrors. In some embodiments, an optical switch can be formed by putting together two mirror image interposer based optical switch components. When placing two interposer based optical switch components together, an alignment frame may be positioned between the interposers to help maintain a desired spacing between the respective arrays of mirrors. In some such embodiments, an inner housing is provided that encloses the dice, the fiber array mounts the alignment frame and portions of the interposers, but leaves connectors mounted on the interposers exposed.Type: GrantFiled: May 21, 2001Date of Patent: November 16, 2004Assignee: Calient NetworksInventors: David Welsh, James R.

Patent number: 6681473Abstract: A method and apparatus hermetically sealing a fiber array block is described. In one embodiment, a fiber array plate is fabricated and an array of tapered holes formed therein. An adhering metal layer, such as a titanium, nickel and gold multilayer, is deposited upon the fiber array plate. A solder preform is positioned on the fiber array plate so that the array of holes in the solder preform corresponds to the array of holes in the array plate. Fibers having an adhering metal layer deposited thereon, are then inserted through the fiber array plate. The tapered holes make the fiber insertion process easier. The fiber array plate is then heated such that the solder preform melts causing the solder to fill any gaps between the fiber array plates and the fiber. When the solder cools a hermetic seal is formed while the fibers remain accurately positioned.Type: GrantFiled: February 15, 2002Date of Patent: January 27, 2004Assignee: Calient Networks, Inc.Inventors: Bin Liu, R. Kehl Sink, David Welsh, Yuanjian Xu
