  • Publication number: 20210398113
    Abstract: Examples described herein include systems, methods, instructions, and other implementations for data security. One example includes receiving a status inquiry associated with a secure transaction, a merchant system, and a client device. The status inquiry is processed to determine that the merchant system associated with the status inquiry has been previously validated and that the status inquiry is from the merchant system. Then, in response to the determination that the merchant system has been previously validated, postback data including a tokenized client account number associated with client information is accessed and the tokenized client account number is transmitted. The tokenized client account number facilitates processing the secure transaction without the merchant system having access to the client information.

  • Patent number: 9918591
    Abstract: An apparatus includes a spatula surface having a plurality of holes. The spatula surface is configured for handling food during a cooking process and for enabling fluids to drain through the holes. An arm supports the spatula surface during the cooking process. A handle is joined to an end of the arm. A drainer is positioned generally horizontally above a top surface of the spatula surface for contacting food positioned between the spatula surface and the drainer, and for enabling a pressure to be applied to the food to substantially remove excess fluids from the food. Attaching bars support the drainer and enable movement of the drainer relative to the spatula surface. A lever is joined to the attaching bars for enabling a user to impart a relative downward movement of the drainer to apply the pressure to the food, thereby enabling the user to substantially drain the excess fluids.

  • Patent number: 8025615
    Abstract: An exercise device and method that is suitable to provide lateral stabilization of the exerciser performing a squatting exercise is provided. The device includes an exercise bar, and wheels that are located, in some implementation, at least the width of a doorframe. Some embodiments of the exercise bar further include a means to adjust its length and to cause vertical resistance. The lateral stabilization method includes the steps of aligning the wheels of the wheeled exercise bar to properly engage the vertical guiding surface; and engaging the vertical guiding surface with the wheels of the wheeled exercise bar such that the wheels roll with sufficient frictional or normal force thereon to provide lateral stabilization to the user.
