Patent number: 11671423Abstract: Systems and methods for authentication via camera are provided. In example embodiments, an authentication server transmits, to a mobile device, an identity verification image. The authentication server receives, from a computing device, a scanned image, wherein the computing device is different from the mobile device. The authentication server determines whether the scanned image includes data from the identity verification image. The authentication server transits, to a web server accessed by the computing device, an indication that a user's identity has been verified upon determining that the scanned image includes the data from the identity verification image.Type: GrantFiled: June 28, 2021Date of Patent: June 6, 2023Assignee: Snap Inc.Inventors: Aaron Daniel Son, Matthew Koontz

Patent number: 10683046Abstract: Provided is a tandem lift auxiliary axle suspension assembly for vehicles which can be selectively raised and lowered to adjust the overall vehicle weight to axle ratio. A tandem wheel mount is connected with a pair of torsion rods to a hanger depending from the vehicle frame. An air spring mounted between the beam and the frame dampen axle movement during use. A lift spring is mounted between the hanger and the torsion rods, or other components of the assembly to selectively raise and lower the tandem axles for ground engagement as needed to decrease the weight to axle ratio.Type: GrantFiled: August 9, 2018Date of Patent: June 16, 2020Assignee: RIDEWELL CORPORATIONInventors: Bruce Barton, Matthew Koontz

Patent number: 9111113Abstract: Online advertisements are delivered to one or more users. An authorization to access one or more data streams for a given user is received. The authorization is explicitly granted by the user. The data streams are stored within a user data repository. Upon the user conducting an online action that initiates a dynamic advertisement (DA) request, the authorized data streams for the user are used to generate a customized DA that is optimally relevant to the user. The customized DA is then delivered to the user. The customized DA is also monetized.Type: GrantFiled: November 1, 2010Date of Patent: August 18, 2015Assignee: MICROSOFT TECHNOLOGY LICENSING, LLCInventors: Matt Dyor, Matthew Koontz, Michael C. Kunz, Michael Goldbach

Patent number: 8955858Abstract: A traction assist system for a vehicle having a tandem-axle system includes a drive axle and a non-drive axle attached to a suspension beam on opposite sides of a pivot about which the suspension beam is rotatable. A device selectively applies a force to the suspension beam on the side of the pivot at which the drive axle is attached, such that the suspension beam tends to rotate to provide a downward force on the drive axle. The device can also apply the downward force directly to the drive axle.Type: GrantFiled: December 13, 2013Date of Patent: February 17, 2015Assignee: Ridewell CorporationInventors: Matthew Koontz, William Mattocks, Jason Dillard
