  • Patent number: 11900371
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are directed to methods, systems, and devices for replacing a token on a user device, such as a transaction card. The transaction card includes tokens representing an actual account identifier which is not visible on the transaction card. The transaction card may store a first token on a and include a digital display that displays a second token. When the first token or the second token is compromised, the compromised token is replaced without replacing the transaction card. When the second token is compromised, the compromised token is replaced with a new replacement second token using an electronic device. The replacement second token replaces the old second token on the digital display. After the second token is compromised and before the replacement second token is provisioned on the transaction card, the transaction card may still be used for transactions using other tokens provisioned on the card.

  • Patent number: 11562355
    Abstract: A method for automatically re-processing a transaction in an electronic payment processing network independent of a merchant system or a user includes: receiving a first transaction message associated with a payment transaction; generating a first authorization request; communicating the first authorization request to an issuer system; in response to determining that the first authorization request failed, automatically determining a second payment device associated with the user based on profile data; automatically generating a second authorization request associated with the transaction; communicating the second authorization request to a second issuer system; and in response to determining that the second authorization request was approved by the second issuer, processing the transaction based on the transaction data and the second account data.

  • Patent number: 11030350
    Abstract: Described herein are systems, methods, and apparatuses for securely outputting sensitive information. The systems, methods, and apparatuses may include accessing a data item using a computing device, determining that the data item contains sensitive information, and determining that the computing device is located in a public space. The data item, or a portion thereof, may be modified and the modified data item may be output.

  • Publication number: 20050023210
    Abstract: A filter includes first and second axially spaced end caps having filter media extending axially between the end caps and extending in a closed-loop around a perimeter defining a hollow interior communicating with an axial flow opening through one of the end caps. One or more columns extend axially in the hollow interior between the end caps and are laterally spaced from the axial flow opening and have hollow sub-interiors for receiving one or more posts extending axially thereinto from a base for mounting the filter to the base in axial compression and with a wiper seal.

  • Publication number: 20050009178
    Abstract: A tubular tissue scaffold is described which comprises a tube having a wall, wherein the wall includes biopolymer fibrils that are aligned in a helical pattern around the longitudinal axis of the tube where the pitch of the helical pattern changes with the radial position in the tube wall. The scaffold is capable of directing the morphological pattern of attached and growing cells to form a helical pattern around the tube walls. Additionally, an apparatus for producing such a tubular tissue scaffold is disclosed, the apparatus comprising a biopolymer gel dispersion feed pump that is operably connected to a tube-forming device having an exit port, where the tube-forming device is capable of producing a tube from the gel dispersion while providing an angular shear force across the wall of the tube, and a liquid bath located to receive the tubular tissue scaffold from the tube-forming device. A method for producing the tubular tissue scaffolds is also disclosed.
