Publication number: 20260099869Abstract: In some implementations, a verification system may receive input from a user associated with an account that already underwent a verification procedure. Accordingly, the verification system may generate at least one graphical user interface associated with a first verification operation, within the verification procedure, that is associated with a failed outcome. The verification system may perform verification of the user based on new input for the first verification operation and old input for one or more additional verification operations within the verification procedure.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 1, 2025Publication date: April 9, 2026Inventors: John BACKUS, Faris TOQAN

Publication number: 20250285153Abstract: In some implementations, a verification device may generate a first set of radio buttons associated with a first verification procedure and provide the first set of radio buttons in an area associated with a verification template. The verification device may receive a selection of a configuration for the first verification procedure using the first set of radio buttons. The verification device may generate a second set of radio buttons associated with a second verification procedure and provide the second set of radio buttons in the area associated with the verification template. The verification device may receive a selection of a configuration for the second verification procedure using the second set of radio buttons. Accordingly, the verification device may generate instructions for generating a set of user interfaces based on the selection of the configuration for the first verification procedure and the selection of the configuration for the second verification procedure.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 21, 2025Publication date: September 11, 2025Inventors: John BACKUS, Faris TOQAN

Publication number: 20250232345Abstract: In some implementations, a verification system generates visual regions, each associated with a verification rule and including visual elements for defining a type of user information and a type of matching criterion. These elements include at least one pair of visual selectors: a first selector for user information and a second selector for matching criteria. The system dynamically modifies the verification rule based on real-time interaction with these elements and determines user verification by applying received input to the modified rule. Features include drag-and-drop components, customizable matching thresholds, color-coded rule status indicators, and the management of verification rules through addition, deletion, and modification of visual selectors.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 4, 2025Publication date: July 17, 2025Inventors: John BACKUS, Faris TOQAN

Patent number: 12293394Abstract: In some implementations, a verification system may generate a selector associated with a plurality of countries. The verification system may receive an indication of a selected country from the plurality of countries. Accordingly, the verification system may generate one or more visual regions, where each visual region is associated with a corresponding verification rule and includes at least one pair of visual selectors with a first selector associated with a type of user information and a second selector associated with a type of matching. The verification system may modify the verification rule based on interaction with the at least one pair of visual selectors included in a corresponding visual region of the one or more visual regions.Type: GrantFiled: February 21, 2024Date of Patent: May 6, 2025Assignee: Plaid Inc.Inventors: John Backus, Faris Toqan

Patent number: 7267950Abstract: A method of extracting RNA from biological systems (cells, cell fragments, organelles, tissues, organs, or organisms) is presented in which a solution containing RNA is contacted with a substrate to which RNA can bind. RNA is withdrawn from the substrate by applying negative pressure. No centrifugation step exceeds thirty seconds. Preferably, the RNA is diluted prior to filtration and one or more wash steps can be used to remove interferents. In one such method, except for DNA shearing and drying steps, centrifugation is not undertaken during the extraction step.Type: GrantFiled: May 1, 2003Date of Patent: September 11, 2007Assignee: Veridex, LCCInventors: Robert Belly, Jacqueline Toner, John Backus
