  • Patent number: 11308483
    Abstract: In some embodiments, a verification system includes a memory storing a common identifier that identifies a user. The system may also include one or more hardware processors coupled to the memory and configured to read instructions from the memory to perform the steps of: receiving a token associated with a request to complete a transaction with an environment; determining the common identifier associated with the token, the common identifier being associated with an identifier of the merchant, an identifier of the user requesting the transaction, and a funding instrument associated with the user; and determining, based on information associated with the common identifier, whether to approve the transaction.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 30, 2015
    Date of Patent: April 19, 2022

  • Patent number: 9240283
    Abstract: The invention provides a stable oxide material system for a capacitor, electronic device or a memory device having an effective high-k value with an effective zero alpha while exhibiting low leakage current density. The stable oxide material comprises Mx-Si1-xO2, wherein the elements M & Si are mixed such that the insulator layer comprises staggered edge-linked SiO2-MO2 bonding chains to provide a stable 3-dimensional single crystal system.

  • Publication number: 20110091591
    Abstract: An apparatus and method is disclosed for forming a compacted powder slug (7) coated with a film (1). The powder (6), e.g. of a medicament, is compacted and enrobed to produce compacted powder slugs (7) by preferably mechanically compacting a powder (6) and forming a film (1) of a material, prefer ably hydroxy propyl methyl cellulose, by vacuum or pressure differential, about the surface of the powder thus compacted.
