  • Publication number: 20220327537
    Abstract: A customer interfacing with a credential manager may be enabled to request and obtain securely from the credential manager additional details related to a service transaction previously effected between the customer and a service provider using a customer transaction credential managed by the credential manager. To obtain such a detailed customer receipt for presentation to a customer, the credential manager may provide an authenticatable customer receipt request to the service provider that may include certain information indicative of an active session between the credential manager and an authenticated customer and/or certain information indicative of a trusted relationship between the credential manager and service provider. When a request is authenticated, the service provider may provide a detailed customer receipt to the credential manager in a format that may be presented to the customer but that may not be used by the credential manager to easily access details conveyed by the receipt.

  • Patent number: 10255449
    Abstract: To perform a restricted action, such as access a restricted content item, a subordinate user account can transmit a permission request to an authorizing user account. The permission request can request authorization from the authorizing user account to perform the restricted action. The permission request can be transmitted to one or more client devices of the authorizing user account, and enable to the authorizing user account to remotely select to approve or deny the permission request, thereby either granting or denying the subordinate user account from performing the restricted action. In addition to approving or denying a permission request, an authorizing user account can also be enabled to ignore a permission request, thereby allowing the authorizing user account to respond to the permission request at a later time. Further, in some embodiments, an authorizing user account can select to deny all further permission requests to perform the restricted action.

  • Patent number: 6557509
    Abstract: An outboard motor with a manual recoil starter is provided with an electrical system that is manually actuated and provides the required electrical power to an electrical load associated with a fuel pump, fuel injectors, and ignition coils of the engine. When the operator pulls the rope of the manual recoil starter, the required electrical power for the fuel pump, ignition coils, and fuel injectors is provided by a small compact battery pack. When fully charged, the battery capacity is equal to or less than 12 ampere-hours and is sufficient to power the ignition and fuel system, but typically not sufficient to power a starter motor.
