  • Systems and methods for prompting a foreign currency transaction
    Patent number: 11948211
    Abstract: Computing devices, systems, and methods for automatically prompting a foreign currency transaction by detecting a trip end condition associated with a registered user with respect to travel to a foreign location associated with a foreign currency.

  • Expandable mouth aspirating clot retrieval catheter
    Patent number: 11944327
    Abstract: A system has an outer catheter and an inner aspirating clot retrieval catheter having an expansile distal tip for flow restriction, improved aspiration efficiency, and a large mouth into which a clot or other obstructions can be retrieved. The clot retrieval catheter can have a support tube proximal of the tip. The expansile tip can be a strut framework, and a flexible, low-modulus cover is disposed around at least a portion of the tip strut framework and the proximal support tube. The distal end of the tip can be encapsulated by a low-friction elastomeric lip for atraumatic contact with the walls of a blood vessel. The tip has a collapsed delivery configuration and expands radially into a deployed configuration. The tip strut framework, support tube, and cover can all have characteristics which enhance the deliverability of the clot retrieval catheter to the target.

  • Streaming mixed-reality environments between multiple devices
    Patent number: 11948260
    Abstract: An immersive content presentation system can capture the motion or position of a performer in a real-world environment. A game engine can be modified to receive the position or motion of the performer and identify predetermined gestures or positions that can be used to trigger actions in a 3-D virtual environment, such as generating a digital effect, transitioning virtual assets through an animation graph, adding new objects, and so forth. The use of the 3-D environment can be rendered and composited views can be generated. Information for constructing the composited views can be streamed to numerous display devices in many different physical locations using a customized communication protocol. Multiple real-world performers can interact with virtual objects through the game engine in a shared mixed-reality experience.

  • Fraud detection in contact centers using deep learning model
    Patent number: 11949811
    Abstract: An example method is described. The method includes receiving, by a computing system, data indicative of a call into an interactive voice response (IVR) system from a user device and determining, by the computing system and based on the data, a set of actions performed by the user device within the IVR system and a corresponding set of results performed by the IVR system during the call. Additionally, the method includes converting, by the computing system, the set of actions and the corresponding set of results into a sequence of code pairs using a dictionary established based on training data, determining, by the computing system, an activity pattern during the call based on the sequence of code pairs; and calculating, by the computing system, a probability that the call is fraudulent based on the activity pattern during the call.
