  • Publication number: 20260203760
    Abstract: A system for generating a trust score for mobile payments using a transacting mobile wallet. The method involves receiving a transaction indication and digital identity data, which is cryptographically signed by an identity provider. The mobile wallet encrypts this data with a public encryption element of a trust score service and transmits the encrypted data for evaluation. The trust score service derives a trust score from previous transactions and a database of fraudulent activity, returning the trust score with a cryptographic signature. The mobile wallet validates the signature and displays the trust score. The system may provide feedback to update future trust scores and compare the score to predefined thresholds to manage transaction outcomes.

  • Publication number: 20260189551
    Abstract: System and techniques to sort and order a database of access credentials are described herein. A device can receive a signal indicating participation in an access transaction. The device can then obtain context data corresponding to the access transaction and search, based on the context data, a local data store of the device to locate a subset of access credentials from a set of access credentials stored in the local data store. The device can order members of the subset of access credentials based on a predefined metric to create an ordered subset of access credentials and render the ordered subset of access credentials to a user interface of the device for selection by a user of the handheld device to complete the access transaction.

  • Patent number: 12452165
    Abstract: An avionics data communication network includes a computing device configured to asynchronously transmit data packets in parallel via three or more redundant network interface controllers (NICs). The data packets offered to the avionics data communication network are bound using a token bucket filter (TBF). Three or more redundant network switches are configured to receive and relay the data packets from a different NIC of the three or more redundant NICs of the computing device. An avionics device is configured to receive the data packets from the computing device within a deterministic end-to-end transmission delay bound, the avionics device receiving the data packets via at least one of the three or more redundant network switches.

  • Patent number: 12252228
    Abstract: A boat comprises a hull, a primary steering mechanism carried by the hull, a control station located on the hull, a helm located at the control station, and a thruster system carried by the hull. The primary steering mechanism, such as a rudder, is operable via the helm with a helm input being derived from operation of the primary steering mechanism thereby. The thruster system includes at least one thruster mounted to the hull, distinct from the primary steering mechanism, and a controller. The controller receives the helm input and is configured with program instructions to operate the at least one thruster responsive to the helm input to supplement a corresponding movement of the hull. The controller can also automatically operate the thruster responsive to direction, speed and ballast inputs.

  • Publication number: 20250080431
    Abstract: An environmental impact computing system receives event data that describes an activity-source combination, such as an activity performed by a person associated with a user account, or a source that is associated with the activity that is performed. The environmental impact computing system includes a supplier impact model which calculates an environmental impact factor of the activity-source combination, and a user impact model which calculates a user-specific modifier. Based on the user-specific modifier, the environmental impact computing system adjusts the environmental impact factor. The environmental impact computing system modifies a user interface display, such as a user device that is associated with the user account, to display the adjusted environmental impact factor. In some embodiments, the user interface display is modified to display additional data, such as data describing a projected cumulative environmental impact.

  • Publication number: 20250053959
    Abstract: Systems and methods may generally be used for processing transactions. An example method may include receiving a request from a wallet application to perform a transaction to transfer funds from a payor account over a first payment rail. The first payment rail may be associate with a payment network corresponding with an element of the wallet application. The example method may include determining whether a second payment rail is available for processing the request based upon a determination that the second payment rail meets a requirement of the transaction. The example method may further include, upon determining that the second payment rail is available, converting the request to a request for processing using a second payment rail different from the first payment rail, and processing the request using the second payment rail.

  • Patent number: 12065232
    Abstract: A watersports boat is equipped with a trimmable drive used to generate a virtual ballast effect. Turbulence experienced by a wake rider on startup is reduced by automatically varying the drive orientation as the watersports boat comes up to speed. A pair of water channelers are located at the stern. One of the water channelers is deployed below the running surface to redirect water across centerline and improve wake shape on the selected side.
