Abstract: A method for controlling a near field communication between a device and a transaction card is disclosed. The method includes the steps of capturing, by a front-facing camera of the device, a series of images of the transaction card and processing each image of the series of images to identify a darkness level associated with a distance of the transaction card from the front of the device. The method includes comparing each identified darkness level to a predetermined darkness level associated with a preferred distance for a near field communication read operation and automatically triggering a near field communication read operation between the device and the transaction card for the communication of a cryptogram from an applet of the transaction card to the device in response to the identified darkness level corresponding to the predetermined darkness level associated with the preferred distance for the near field communication read operation.

Abstract: Mechanical movement exerted upon or over roadways is transmitted and converted to mechanical movement conducive towards the production of electrical energy. In one disclosed system, ramped or angled push bars are disposed within a roadway, such that a front set of bars and back set of bars will not be moved simultaneously. A series of one way values may enable subterranean fluid chambers to move a pendulum flywheel or rotor in a continuous direction or in a back and forth movement.

Abstract: Methods for failure analysis in a building automation system and corresponding systems and computer-readable mediums. A method includes receiving device event data for a plurality of devices and executing a fault diagnostics inference engine to determine faults corresponding to the device event data. The fault diagnostics inference engine includes a dynamic Bayesian network and a conditional probability table. The method includes executing a predictive maintenance engine to produce probabilities of hardware failures based on the determined faults and the device event data. The method includes updating the conditional probability table based on the probabilities of hardware failures. The method includes producing updated faults by the predictive maintenance engine according to the updated conditional probability table. The method includes displaying the updated faults.
