Publication number: 20240412243Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatuses for aggregating merchant offers include a network interface structured to facilitate data communication via a network, an accounts database structured to store account information associated with accounts held by the provider, including a payment account associated with a customer, and a processing circuit comprising a processor and memory. The processing circuit is structured to receive a pre-filtered offer from an offer vendor, aggregate the pre-filtered offer with other received pre-filtered offers from multiple offer vendors to create an aggregated offer list, filter the aggregated offer list based on the account information for the customer to create a filtered offer list, generate a prioritized offer list based on the account information for the customer, and transmit the prioritized offer list to a customer device of the customer.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 23, 2024Publication date: December 12, 2024Applicant: Wells Fargo Bank, N.A.Inventors: Krista L. Donels, Jennifer Miller, David Patron, Matthew S. Rogers

Publication number: 20240407119Abstract: A foldable display may have a display cover layer and display panel that bend around a bend axis. The display panel may have an array of pixels configured to display an image through the display cover layer. The display cover layer may be formed from a layer of glass. A recess may be formed in the layer of glass that extends along and overlaps the bend axis. The recess forms a flexible locally thinned portion in the glass that allows the display cover layer to bend. Polymer may be formed in the recess. Stiffening structures such as glass strips and glass beads of one or more diameters may be embedded in the polymer to help resist inward compression of the surface of the display cover layer in the locally thinned region while allowing the display cover layer to bend about the bend axis.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 14, 2024Publication date: December 5, 2024Inventors: Que Anh S. Nguyen, Matthew S. Rogers

Publication number: 20240370058Abstract: An electronic device may have a display and may be configured to fold about a bend axis that overlaps the display. The display may have a display cover layer having first, second, and third portions that are joined side-by-side. The second portion may have a strip shape that extends along the bend axis and may be configured to bend as the first and third portions are folded towards each other. The second portion may be formed from a different material than the first and third portions to facilitate bending. The second portion may also be characterized by a compressive stress layer that is shallower than compressive stress layers on the first and third portions.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 5, 2024Publication date: November 7, 2024Inventors: Christopher D. Jones, Que Anh S. Nguyen, Matthew S. Rogers, Christopher C. Bartlow

Publication number: 20240351311Abstract: An electronic device may have a display and may be configured to fold about a bend axis that overlaps the display. The display may have a display cover layer formed from three layers of glass fused together. The display cover layer may have outer glass layers that have lower coefficients of thermal expansion than a core inner layer that is formed between the outer glass layers. This places the outer glass layers into deep compressive stress relative to the inner layer, which is under tensile stress. A notch may be formed in one of the outer glass layers to enhance flexibility of the display cover layer in a strip-shaped notch region that extends along the bend axis. An exposed portion of the inner glass layer in the notch may be chemically strengthened.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 5, 2024Publication date: October 24, 2024Inventors: Christopher D Jones, Que Anh S Nguyen, Matthew S Rogers, Christopher C Bartlow

Patent number: 11921300Abstract: An electronic device may be provided with optical markers. A marker may be formed from a coating. The coating may be patterned to form a two-dimensional optical code or may be patterned to form an outline or other recognizable marker structure that helps provide information about an electronic device. A device with a sensor such as a depth sensor or other sensor may gather information on the electronic device and its markers. This information may include information on images captured with an image sensor while the electronic device is illuminated by one or more light beams from the depth sensor or other light sources. Markers may be configured to serve as mixed reality optical markers in a mixed reality system. Analysis of the mixed reality marker images or other sensor data may reveal information on device type, device location, device size, device orientation, and other information on a marked device.Type: GrantFiled: March 10, 2021Date of Patent: March 5, 2024Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Christopher D.

Patent number: 11921259Abstract: An electronic device includes electrical components in a housing. The components may include optical components such as a display. Protective structures may be used to protect the optical components. The protective structures may include one or more protective transparent layers such as layers of glass or crystalline material such as sapphire. The protective transparent layers may be coated with an oleophobic coating. To enhance coating durability, catalyst may be used to help bond the oleophobic coating. An adhesion promotion layer such as a silicon oxide layer may be deposited on the transparent protective layer. A catalyst layer such as a layer of sodium fluoride may be deposited on the adhesion promotion layer. The oleophobic material may be evaporated or otherwise deposited on the catalyst layer. Heat and moisture may help the oleophobic material form chemical bonds with the adhesion promotion layer, thereby forming a durable oleophobic coating.Type: GrantFiled: April 8, 2020Date of Patent: March 5, 2024Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Manish Mittal, Feng Liu, Kenji Ishizeki, Matthew S.

Patent number: 11910552Abstract: An electronic device may have a housing. The device may include metal structures such as a metal member forming a portion of the housing, a portion of a strap, or other portions of the device. A gold-containing coating such as a layer of elemental gold or a gold alloy may cover the metal member to provide the metal member with a gold appearance or other desired appearance. To protect the metal member and the gold-containing coating, the metal member and gold-containing coating may be covered with a protective coating layer such as an organic protective layer. The organic protective layer may have a fluoropolymer layer with thiol coupling groups to promote adhesion to the gold-containing layer or may contain a polymer layer with silane and thiol coupling groups that serves as an adhesion promotion layer for an overlapping fluoropolymer layer with silane coupling groups.Type: GrantFiled: June 17, 2020Date of Patent: February 20, 2024Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Manish Mittal, Brian S.

Publication number: 20240053194Abstract: A system may have a support structure and a glass layer that separate an exterior region surrounding the system from an interior region. Components may be mounted in the interior region. The components may include an optical component. The glass layer may have a first area that overlaps the optical component and that serves as an optical component window for the optical component. The glass layer may also have a second area that surrounds the first area and does not overlap the optical component. The first area may be selectively weakened relative to the second area to prevent excessive glass fracturing during a damage event from obscuring the optical component. Selective weakening may be provided with laser-induced-damage features, recesses from local thinning, and/or glass-weakening deposited thin films such as physical vapor deposition thin-film coatings of inorganic dielectric.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 6, 2023Publication date: February 15, 2024Inventors: Tyler A.
