  • Patent number: 11941311
    Abstract: In one example, a system can receive an order from a client device. The system can also receive data about a set of print queues at a set of printers via a network. The system can then determine a set of queue times corresponding to the set of print queues. Each respective queue time can be determined based on a corresponding print queue. The system can generate an estimated wait time for the order based on the set of queue times. The system can then transmit the estimated wait time to the client device for display in a graphical user interface to a user associated with the order.

  • Publication number: 20240084181
    Abstract: A refrigerant composition includes R1225ye(E) refrigerant, a second refrigerant that is one of R1234ze(E) refrigerant and R32 refrigerant, and a third refrigerant that is one of R227ea refrigerant, R125 refrigerant, and R1234yf refrigerant. The refrigerant composition has a GWP of at or less than about 2000. A method of making a refrigerant composition includes mixing at least an amount of R1225ye(E) refrigerant, an amount of a second refrigerant, and an amount of a third refrigerant to obtain a refrigerant composition that has a GWP of at or about or less than 2000. A method of retrofitting a refrigerant composition in an HVACR system includes adding an amount of at least one refrigerant to a refrigerant composition to produce a retrofit refrigerant composition that includes R1225ye(E) refrigerant, a second refrigerant, and a third refrigerant.

  • Publication number: 20170132631
    Abstract: A process is proposed that collects minimal personal data of an individual who is conducting a transaction online, either directly or from a third party. The data collected is then matched to a known and validated public profile stored in public and private databases, and a set of Knowledge Based Authentication (KBA) questions are generated from the identified databases and presented to (e.g., displayed or read to via computer generated voice) the consumer for validation of the consumer's identity. Once the individual's identity has been validated, the online transaction by the person can then be authorized.

  • Patent number: 8515847
    Abstract: A new approach is proposed that first validates identity of a user/individual who is initiating a request for a web service for the first time. Once validated, the user is allowed to access the web service, to register securely with the provider of the web service, and to create a series of personalized questions to be used for future validation purposes. During the user's subsequent request for the web service, the user will be asked, in addition to his/her user name, one or more of the personalized questions he/she created on rotation basis in place of a PIN or password.

  • Publication number: 20100279720
    Abstract: An integrated web browser, instant messaging system is presented. The system operates on mobile devices and other types of embedded devices. The system is an integrated instant messaging and web browsing application controlled by an embedded application on a mobile device. Today most web browsers, instant messaging, and other programs are separate or discrete applications that are executed on an either/or type of situation. The present system provides an integrated application environment that is a single application that shares data between instant messaging and web browser sub-modules, which allows users to simultaneously message and browse. The system may also be deployed as part of an overall method for enhancing safety and producing revenue for communications networks.

  • Publication number: 20090007245
    Abstract: A new approach enables a carrier, a validated user or a parent/guardian of the user to effectively moderate content displayed one a mobile device and navigates the web without the need to input URL addresses through the use of an integrated instant messenger/web browser operating on the mobile device. First, the identity of the user is validated when he/she is initiating access to instant messaging and/or web browsing. In the case where the user is an under-aged child, the identity of the user can be validated by his/her parent or legal guardian or principal of the school the child is attending. Once validated, the user can access and select from a set of websites that have been pre-selected or pre-approved for the user by the carrier, user, and in some cases parent or guardian of the user for easy and secure web browsing by the user on the mobile device.
