  • Publication number: 20240084910
    Abstract: A stemless valve includes (a) a valve body having a longitudinal axis and defining a central flow passage and an upper actuator opening; (b) a cylindrical rotator disposed within the central flow passage, and having a rotator gear exposed through the actuator opening, the rotator sealed within the valve body to prevent fluid flow outside the central flow passage; (c) an actuating element passing through the upper actuator opening, and having a actuating gear which engages the rotator gear. Movement of the actuating rod rotates the rotator around the longitudinal axis within the valve body, causing opening or closing of a variable orifice connected to the rotator.

  • Patent number: 11461780
    Abstract: There are provided systems and methods for shared authentication for limited use of an associated account based on user location and connected devices. A user may own a location where another user may visit or rent. The user may have a payment account that may be used with merchants to purchase items that are associated with the location or offered with use of the location. The user may set up the payment account to have a shared authentication mechanism with other users that utilize the location to allow the other users to pay for items using the payment account. The authentication mechanism may be a credential that may be pushed to a device of one or more of the other users when the other users are at or nearby the location or may be information of the other users that may be matched during transaction processing.

  • Patent number: 10970727
    Abstract: A method, computer system, and a computer program product for voice activated inventory management is provided. The present invention may include recording an audio feed of a customer product query from a customer and a staff response from a staff member. The present invention may then include identifying a product requested by the customer. The present invention may also include identifying an inventory status in the staff response. The present invention may also include determining that a negative inventory status trigger is detected in the identified inventory status associated with the identified product requested by the customer. The present invention may further include, in response to determining that the negative inventory status trigger is detected in the identified inventory status associated with the identified product requested by the customer, storing, in an inventory database, a plurality of customer query data associated with the identified product requested by the customer.

  • Patent number: 10692083
    Abstract: There are provided systems and methods for automatic authentication for a user with a service provider during a voice data connection to a merchant. A user may place a voice call to an entity, for example, through a plain old telephone service (POTS) or through voice over IP. The voice call may be detected by a service provider, which may determine whether the entity receiving the voice call requires authentication of the user during the voice call. The service provider may further determine whether the entity requires authentication of the user for use of an account with the service provider. The service provider may communicate information used to authenticate the user to the entity during the voice call. Additionally, the service provider may generate an authentication mechanism for the payment account, which may be used to authenticate use of the payment account by the user during the voice call.
