  • Patent number: 12182810
    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: 6571701
    Abstract: A printer includes a dispensing head for dispensing viscous material, such as solder paste. The dispensing head defines a chamber and includes at least one source port and a dispensing slot, wherein the viscous material flows from a supply mounted to the source port, into the chamber and out the dispensing slot. Within the chamber, a stirring mechanism is mounted. The stirring mechanism is coupled to a drive mechanism that displaces the stirring mechanism through the chamber, thereby stirring the viscous material. The stirring mechanism is particularly effective in preventing or reducing compaction of solder paste within the chamber.
