  • Publication number: 20200348478
    Abstract: An enclosure configured to simultaneously accommodate different connectorization applications includes a backplate and a bulkhead bracket and splice retention clips coupled to the backplate. The bulkhead bracket includes openings configured to house adapters for a first connecterized application. The splice retention clips are configured to accomodate one or more of a fusion splice protector and a mechnical splice for a second connecterized application. The bulkhead bracket, with or without an adapter, is configured to be uncoupled from the backplate to allow access to the splice retention clips for insertion or deletion of the fusion splice protector or the mechnical splice. The bulkhead bracket is configured to be recoupled with the backplate and over the splice retention clips.

  • Publication number: 20200342437
    Abstract: The present disclosure involves systems, software, and computer implemented methods for intercepting data exchange requests and automatically imposing a hold period while the data exchange is evaluated for a user profile initiating the request. One example system includes operations to detect a data exchange request prior to completion of the attempted data exchange, the data exchange request including information defining the attempted data exchange and associated wherein the attempted data exchange is associated with a particular user profile. A portion of the information is transmitted to a data exchange analysis system for execution of a user profile-specific data exchange analysis based on the information and a status of the user profile. A hold state is initiated for the data exchange request while the analysis is performed. The results of the analysis are presented and a confirmation to proceed is required before allowing the attempted data exchange to be processed.

  • Publication number: 20200322320
    Abstract: The disclosed exemplary embodiments include computer-implemented systems, apparatuses, and processes that dynamically and securely augment participants in programmatically established chatbot sessions. For example, an apparatus may obtain messaging data generated during a first communications session involving a first device and based on the messaging data, detecting an occurrence of an event that triggers an establishment of a second communications session involving the first device and a second device. The apparatus may generate and transmit, to the second device, notification data causing the second device to validate one or more authentication credentials, and may receive confirmation data indicative of the one or more validated authentication credentials from the second device. Based on the confirmation data, the apparatus may perform operations that establish the second communications session in accordance with at least a portion of the messaging data.

  • Publication number: 20200322350
    Abstract: The disclosed exemplary embodiments include computer-implemented systems, apparatuses, and processes that, among other things, dynamically authorize pre-stages data exchanges based on contextual data. For example, an apparatus may receive first data characterizing an initiation of a first exchange of data between a client device and a terminal device. Based on the first data, the apparatus may obtain second data that characterizes an expected initiation of a second exchange of data during a corresponding temporal interval, which may be specified relative to an initiation time of the first data exchange. The apparatus may generate and transmit, to a computing system, pre-authorization data that requests a pre-authorization of the second data exchange to a computing system. The pre-authorization data may include a portion of the second data and may instruct the computing system to pre-authorize the second data exchange in accordance with the second data.

  • Publication number: 20200285644
    Abstract: A data management device, communication system and methods for tagging data in a data table and triggering automated action. A data management device receives from a first data provider one or more records of a data table, each record comprising a plurality of fields. The data table is associated with an account having one or more authorized users. The plurality of fields each has a value set by the first data provider. The data manger determines one or more tags for the one or more records in accordance with a plurality of autotagging rules. The data manger appends the one or more records to include one or more tag fields corresponding to the one or more tags for the one or more records. The appended records are stored in a database. One or more automated actions may be triggered based on one or more tag fields of one or more of the plurality of records.

  • Publication number: 20200244700
    Abstract: The disclosed exemplary embodiments include computer-implemented systems, apparatuses, and processes that dynamically and securely augment a programmatically established communications session, such as a chatbot session, to include one or more additional responsive applications. For example, an apparatus may receive messaging data during a first communication session programmatically established between a device and a first executed application program, and may determine that an additional apparatus is configured to perform operations consistent with the messaging data. The apparatus may transmit a digital token and at least a portion of the messaging data to an additional apparatus. A second application executed by the additional apparatus may validate the digital token and based on the portion of the messaging data, establish a second communication session between the device and the executed first and second application programs.

  • Publication number: 20200236147
    Abstract: Embodiments described herein are implemented in authentication brokering systems where an authentication broker issues security tokens that represent its authentications of users. Client devices operated by the users store the security tokens and send them to resource providers. The resource providers authenticate and grant access to the users based on validation of the security tokens. Authentication related messages exchanged between the resource providers and the authentication broker are used to exchange authentication risk data that is obtained or derived by the resource providers and the authentication broker. The resource providers obtain authentication risk data directly from the authentication broker and indirectly, via the authentication broker, from each other. As security tokens are used or managed, authentication risk data is shared among the participants in the authentication brokering system.

  • Publication number: 20200236071
    Abstract: The disclosed exemplary embodiments include computer-implemented apparatuses and processes that automatically populate deep-linked interfaces based n programmatically established chatbot sessions. For example, an apparatus may determine a candidate parameter value for a first parameter of an exchange of data based on received messaging information and on information characterizing prior exchanges of data between a device and the apparatus. The apparatus may also generate interface data that associates the first candidate parameter value with a corresponding interface element of a first digital interface, and may store the store interface data within a data repository. In some instances, the apparatus may transmit linking data associated with the stored interface data to the device, and an application program executed by the device may present a representation of the linking data within a second digital interface.

  • Patent number: 10664692
    Abstract: Visual task feedback for workstations in a materials handling facility may be implemented. Image data of a workstation surface may be obtained from image sensors. The image data may be evaluated with regard to the performance of an item-handling task at the workstation. The evaluation of the image data may identify items located on the workstation surface, determine a current state of the item-handling task, or recognize an agent gesture at the workstation. Based, at least in part on the evaluation, one or more visual task cues may be selected to project onto the workstation surface. The projection of the selected visual task cues onto the workstation surface may then be directed.
