  • Patent number: 11963624
    Abstract: The present system is used for metered dispensing of bulk material. The system includes a hopper containing the bulk material, a base supporting the hopper, and a gate removably interposed between a hopper outlet and a base outlet. The gate rotates between positions either allowing or preventing flow of the bulk material from the hopper outlet to the base outlet. An impeller is located inside of the hopper, extending from an inner surface of the hopper to agitate the bulk material before, during, or after dispensing to ensure the hopper outlet is not blocked.

  • Publication number: 20210390548
    Abstract: There is provided systems and methods for passwordless authentication through use of device tokens or web browser cookies. A user may enter into a checkout process with a merchant for a transaction requiring electronic transaction processing with a service provider. The checkout process may be performed prior to or without the user having previously established an account with the service provider for electronic transaction processing. The user may therefore provide user information, such as a name and financial information, and an account for the user may be established. To establish the account, the user is not required to enter a password, and the password is automatically set by the service provider. The service provider may then establish a token on the user's device during transaction processing that later authenticates the device for use of the account during future transaction processing when the token is received.

  • Patent number: 10693884
    Abstract: A network end-point communicates, to a controller, a unique hardware identifier that is associated with a first end-point. The network end-point receives from the controller a first encryption key that is uniquely matched to a decryption key privately held by a second end-point. The network end-point then receives device data from a first device in direct communication with the first end-point. The network end-point communicates the device data to the second end-point, wherein the device data is encrypted using the first encryption key.

  • Patent number: 6356970
    Abstract: In a system having an DSP, an ASIC and a memory, in which the ASIC generates a number of different competing interrupts for the DSP to service, the ASIC has an interrupt request control module which automatically provides the DSP with a vector pointing to the memory location of the interrupt service routine for the currently pending interrupt request having the highest priority of all pending requests. The DSP reads this vector and uses it to access the interrupt service routine in the memory. Reading of this vector causes the interrupt request to be de-asserted, which causes the next highest priority pending interrupt request to become the highest priority pending interrupt request. As a result, a new vector is presented for the next read by the DSP.
