Patent number: 11943215Abstract: Machines, devices, and other objects are configured to use authorization tokens to verify object identities without human input. In examples, the object uses a password to validate the object's identity to an authorization server to obtain an access token for use in multiple applications. In another example, the object uses a certificate to validate the object's identity to an authorization server to obtain an access token. In other examples, any other suitable identifying data may be used to validate the object's identity to an authorization server to obtain an access token. The process of using passwords, certificates, or other validation processes to obtain tokens or other authorization mechanisms allows the object to authenticate themselves without human interaction and to use a single identity to access services from multiple service providers that trust a central authorization server.Type: GrantFiled: May 28, 2021Date of Patent: March 26, 2024Assignee: CITIGROUP TECHNOLOGY, INC.Inventors: Sandeep Nair, Matthew E. Nunn, Julio Caraballo, Jason Edward Morris, Udaya Chandupatia, Partha S. Peddi

Publication number: 20240044122Abstract: A drain assembly comprises a shroud, a shank, and a frame. The drain assembly may further comprise a shim with an angled top surface. The frame may have an angled bottom surface. A rotational orientation of the angled top surface of the shim relative to the shank and a rotational orientation of the angled bottom surface of the frame relative to the shank may be independently adjustable, thereby allowing for the top surface of the frame to be both angularly and rotationally adjusted relative to a central axis of the drain assembly independent of the positional height of the shank. The drain assembly may further comprise a cover having bendable tabs. The bendable tabs may be disposed around a periphery of the cover and may be configured to contact an angled inner surface of an upper bowl of the shroud, such that the bendable tabs bend around the frame, thereby locking the cover onto the frame.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 19, 2023Publication date: February 8, 2024Inventors: Christopher J. Say, Adam F. Wagner, Seth A. Brooks, Jason E. Morris
