Patent number: 11935055Abstract: An Automated Teller Machine (ATM) terminal receives a transaction request from a user. The ATM terminal triggers a camera to capture a first image of the authentication media item presented by the user, where the first image of the authentication media item is embedded with a first unique code. The ATM terminal compares the first image of the authentication media item with a second image of the authentication media item that is associated with the user, where the second image of the authentication media item is embedded with a second unique code for verifying the user. The ATM terminal determines whether the first unique code corresponds to the second unique code. The ATM terminal conducts the transaction request if it is determined that the first unique code corresponds to the second unique code.Type: GrantFiled: March 22, 2021Date of Patent: March 19, 2024Assignee: Bank of America CorporationInventors: Srilekha Mudumbai Srinivasa, Brandon Sloane, Jinyoung Nathan Kim, Regina Yee Cadavid, Nia Mack, Ramkumar Korlepara, Elliott Leonard Lillard, Philip Lone Mintac, Michael Jacob Richardson, Gloria Youngsook Joo

Publication number: 20230414927Abstract: Improved stimulation circuitry for controlling the stimulation delivered by an implantable stimulator is disclosed. The stimulation circuitry includes memory circuitry that stores pulse programs that define pulse shapes, steering programs that define electrode configurations, and aggregate programs that link a selected pulse program with a selected steering program. Each steering program defines the stimulation polarity and the allocation of current of the specified stimulation polarity for each of the pulse generator's electrodes. Each pulse program includes one or more pulse instructions, where each instruction defines the parameters of a single phase of the pulse program. Pulse definition circuits in the stimulation circuitry execute aggregate programs to generate stimulation waveforms, which stimulation waveforms can be generated simultaneously by the different pulse definition circuits.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 11, 2023Publication date: December 28, 2023Inventors: Philip Leonard Weiss, Goran N.
