  • Patent number: 10337388
    Abstract: A method for producing a corrosion resistant metal substrate and corrosion resistant metal substrate provided thereby. The method involves forming a plated substrate including a metal substrate provided with a nickel layer or with a nickel and cobalt layer followed by electrodepositing a molybdenum oxide layer from an aqueous solution onto the plated substrate, which is subsequently subjected to an annealing step in a reducing atmosphere to reduce the molybdenum oxide in the molybdenum oxide layer to molybdenum metal in a reduction annealing step and to form a diffusion layer which contains nickel and molybdenum, and optionally cobalt.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 15, 2018
    Date of Patent: July 2, 2019
    Assignee: HILLE & MÜLLER GMBH
    Inventors: Annette Borisch, Philip Schmitz, Ken-Dominic Flechtner, Martin Schwagereit

  • Publication number: 20170076292
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer readable media for screening a transaction for fraud prior to approval. The system comprises a central processing unit, a database coupled to the central processing unit, a plurality of data sources in communication with the central processing unit, and software executing on the central processing unit. Wherein the software parses the data from the plurality of data sources, compiles a list of trusted networks based on the parsed data, compares each transaction to the list of trusted networks, determines if each transaction is legitimate, illegitimate, or of questionable legitimacy based on the comparison and the transaction itself, approves the legitimate transactions, declines illegitimate transactions, and holds questionable transactions for further approval.
