Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes receiving, from a point-of-sale system associated with a merchant, a request for payment associated with a transaction, wherein a payment amount is specified in a fiat currency. The method also includes determining a preference of the customer to pay for the transaction using a cryptocurrency and calculating a cryptocurrency value of the payment based on an exchange rate between the cryptocurrency and the fiat currency. The method further includes initiating a transfer of cryptocurrency value from a customer balance of the customer to a service balance of the payment service, initiating a transfer of a value in the fiat currency from the service balance of the payment service to a merchant balance of the merchant, and generating a record of the transaction between the customer and the merchant.

Abstract: The present technology provides a payment service for providing financial transactions between a customer and merchant wherein the customer can pay in any currency and the merchant can be paid in any currency. Furthermore, the present technology supports payment using cryptocurrency, while improving such transactions in a way that takes advantage of benefits of such transactions while overcoming drawbacks such as delays in processing.

Abstract: Technology is disclosed for mitigating account enumeration and thus enhances network security. The technology can receive from a client computing device a sequence of characters corresponding to a portion of an email address input by a user. The technology retrieves a set of email addresses that have a common first portion identical to the received sequence of characters and generates hashed data. The hashed data is sent to the client computing device. A result value is then generated by hashing the input email address by using the same hashing function as the hashed data. If the result value is in the hashed data, the technology displays a text region for collecting from the user a password.

Abstract: The invention relates to transparent sunscreen compositions containing an ester of a ?-hydroxy carboxylic acid and a solid organic UV-Filter, which is present in the dissolved state, and which are essentially free of water and ethanol, and to the use thereof as a sunscreen, in particular sun protection gel or sun protection spray.

Abstract: Labels are permanently attached to a substrate, e.g., a tissue cassette, by use of a staking device. The device comprises a staker assembly and a cassette fixture assembly. The cassette fixture assembly includes a slot and a clamping assembly for securing the cassette within the device. The staker assembly includes a set of probes that are heated and sequentially moved into a position to burn a hole in a label that is provisionally attached to the cassette, and then the substrate is melted and displaced through the hole to form a collar bond that permanently attaches the label to the cassette. The label remains attached to the cassette when exposed to harsh environmental conditions, e.g., high heat, high humidity, solvents, etc.

Abstract: A technique allows for the automatic configuration of anti-malware programs so as to prevent such programs from scanning particular domains. Upon automatic detection of a predetermined type of program, a configuration of that program is determined. Based on the configuration of the predetermined type of program, a domain of the predetermined type of program is excluded from a domain of the anti-malware program. Accordingly, the domain of the anti-malware program is ensured not to overlap with that of the predetermined type of program.

Abstract: This invention relates to microemulsions containing alkanolammonium salts of the alkylsulfates and/or alkylpolyalkyleneglycolethersulfates, water, one or more oil component(s), and one or more alcohol(s). The invention also relates to the use thereof for cosmetic and/or medicinal-dermatologic applications.

Abstract: A nozzle inhibitor is positioned in a filler neck closure assembly to prevent a user from pumping unleaded fuel into a diesel fuel tank. The nozzle inhibitor blocks full insertion of a small-diameter unleaded fuel nozzle into the filler neck closure assembly yet allows full insertion of a large-diameter diesel fuel nozzle into the filler neck closure assembly.

Abstract: A nozzle inhibitor is positioned in a filler neck closure assembly between a pivotable outer door and a pivotable inner door to prevent a user from pumping unleaded fuel into a diesel fuel tank. The nozzle inhibitor blocks full insertion of a small-diameter unleaded fuel nozzle into the filler neck closure assembly yet allows full insertion of a large-diameter diesel fuel nozzle into the filler neck closure assembly.

Abstract: A paint container comprises an enclosed body and a handle. The body is substantially D-shaped and comprises a bottom, a top, a substantially flat first side, and a curved second side. The top includes an opening for dispensing the contents of the container. The substantially flat first side extends between the top and the bottom. The curved second side is located opposite the first side and extends between the top and the bottom. The handle is pivotally coupled to the body and moveable between a rest position and a use position. The handle is pivotable about an axis that is parallel to the first side and located between the first side and the second side. The handle is configured so that the handle moves from proximate the first side of the body toward the second side of the body when the handle is moved from the rest position to the use position.

Abstract: This invention relates to microemulsions containing alkanolammonium salts of alkylsulfates and/or alkylpolyalkyleneglycolethersulfates, UV filters and/or antidandruff substances. The invention also relates to the use of said emulsions for cosmetic and/or medicinal-dermatologic applications.

Abstract: A training bat has a knob, handle section and barrel section. A weight is located within the interior of the barrel section on a rotatable shaft, and is moveable linearly. Linear movement of the weight is caused by rotation of the shaft. Preferably, the shaft is coupled to the knob, so that rotation of the knob causes rotation of the shaft and linear movement of the weight along at least a portion of the barrel section.

Abstract: A paint container includes a body having a bottom, a plurality of side walls, and a top. An attachment mechanism is located proximate the top. A cap is configured to be secured to the attachment mechanism. A spout extends upward proximate the top and is at least partially surrounded by the attachment mechanism. A channel located between the attachment mechanism and the spout permits paint spilled into the channel to flow back into the paint container.
