  • SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR SCALABLE BIOMETRIC AUTHENTICATION
    Publication number: 20230011633
    Abstract: Systems and methods for scalable biometric authentication are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method for scalable biometric authentication may include: (1) receiving, by a biometric authentication computer program executed by a computer processor, a transaction request for a transaction comprising a received biometric; (2) identifying, by the biometric authentication computer program, a subset of likely customers from a set of customers for the transaction; (3) retrieving, by the biometric authentication computer program, stored biometrics for the subset of customers; (4) identifying, by the biometric authentication computer program, one of the stored biometrics for the subset of customers that matches the received biometric; and (5) retrieving, by the biometric authentication computer program, a stored payment method for the identified stored biometric.

  • Method and calculator for modeling non-equilibrium spin polarized charge transport in nano-structures
    Patent number: 8082130
    Abstract: A method and calculator for obtaining spin polarized quantum transport in 3-dimensional atom-scale spintronic (spin electronics) devices under finite bias voltage, based on implementing Density Function Theory (DFT) in combination with the Keldysh non-equilibrium Greens function (NEGF) formalism to calculate spin polarized quantum transport in 3-dimensional nanostructures under finite bias and external voltage.
