  • Patent number: 11954188
    Abstract: An automated teller machine comprising a sensor, a network interface, and a processor configured to receive, during a transaction at the automated teller machine, user data from the sensor configured to monitor user movement information during the transaction, receive, via the network interface, user data from a mobile device, determine a risk of a fraudulent transaction based on a comparison of the user movement information from the sensor and the user data from the mobile device to expected parameters, determine that the risk of a fraudulent transaction is below a threshold, and allow access to a secure resource at the automated teller machine.

  • Publication number: 20220117184
    Abstract: The Method of Producing Sterile Cannabis sativa L. Cultivars includes applying a novel colchicine treatment to axillary meristems of diploid cannabis plants to produce sterile cannabis growth. The colchicine may be a range of concentrations applied over a 24 hour period to produce the sterile cannabis growth. The sterile cannabis plant will not reproduce sexually but may be replicated via other methods that are used to replicate plants.

  • Patent number: 11074325
    Abstract: Systems and methods for multifactor authentication are disclosed. One illustrative system described herein includes: a network interface; and a processor coupled to the network interface and configured to: begin a transaction to allow a user to access a secure resource; receive, via the network interface, user data from a mobile device, the user data comprising behavior data associated with the user; compare one or more parameters of the behavior data to expected parameters; and if the parameters are within a required range, allow access to the secure resource; or if the parameters are outside of the required range, restrict access to the secure resource.

  • Publication number: 20210158341
    Abstract: An electronic computing device receives a scanned image of a first object. The first object is a three-dimensional object. An identification of a user of a payment device is received. A stored image of a second object is obtained. The second object is an authentication object that is assigned to the user. The user of the payment device is authenticated using the scanned image of the first object and the stored image of the second object. If the user is authenticated, a purchase of one or more goods or services is authorized using the payment device.

  • Patent number: 10915886
    Abstract: A method includes receiving, on an electronic payment device, a radio frequency signal from a mobile electronic device. The radio frequency signal is used to control an activation of an electric current to one or more color producing components on the electronic payment device. The electric current is transmitted to the one or more color producing components. The one or more color producing components display a color when the electric current is transmitted to the color producing components.

  • Patent number: 6070997
    Abstract: A symmetrical safety light for wheeled vehicles is turned on by relative rotation of a removable plug in a housing that pushes a battery in the housing against the resistance of a spring. The light is turned off by relative rotation of the components in the opposite direction, which allows the spring to push the battery out of contact with a conductor from the light.
