Patent number: 11828528Abstract: A water dispenser for a refrigerator including a water discharge nozzle fluidly connected to a water source, a valve configured to selectively block the fluid connection, and an actuator operated to allow water to be dispensed. The water discharge nozzle is pivotally mounted to a surface of the refrigerator to pivot between a retracted position and an extended position. In the extended position, the water discharge nozzle is extended outwards beyond the surface of the refrigerator. The water discharge nozzle is biased towards one of the extended and retracted positions. The valve is configured to block the fluid connection between the water discharge nozzle and the water source when the water discharge nozzle is in the retracted position. When the water discharge nozzle pivots to the extended position, the valve is operated to enable fluid connection between the water discharge nozzle and the water source.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2022Date of Patent: November 28, 2023Assignee: Electrolux Home Products, Inc.Inventors: Zhuochen Shi, Josh Hanson

Publication number: 20230259648Abstract: In some aspects, a gateway server can unlock or unfreeze access to data about a user by third parties without requiring the user to navigate completely away from a third-party website through which the user is executing an electronic transaction. The gateway server can receive a request to unlock or unfreeze data through the third-party website hosted by a third-party web server. The gateway server can output a user interface that is displayable simultaneously with the third-party website. Through the user interface, the gateway server can receive sign-in data such as log-in credentials of the user and consent to share data about the user with the third-party web server. The gateway server can output a command to unlock or unfreeze data about the user and to share the data with the third-party web server. Based on the shared data, the transaction can be completed at the third-party web server.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 21, 2023Publication date: August 17, 2023Inventors: Rajan GUPTA, Justin WHITEHEAD, Josh HANSON

Patent number: 11178128Abstract: Certain aspects involve facilitating the integration of sensitive data from a data provider into an instance of a web-based, third-party application. For example, a data provider service can receive an authentication API call from a third-party system. The authentication API call can include a user identifier and a request for an access token usable by a web-based interface of the third-party system. The data provider service can generate an access token for the third-party system from which the authentication API call is received. The data provider service can subsequently receive, from the user device, a feature API call including the access token and a feature request for sensitive data. The data provider service can generate output data specific to the user identified by the access token included in the feature API call. The data provider service can provide the output to the user device via the web-based interface.Type: GrantFiled: January 23, 2020Date of Patent: November 16, 2021Assignee: EQUIFAX INC.Inventors: Timothy G.
