Abstract: A computing system receives, from an access control server, an operation authorization request comprising a dynamic code associated with at least one of a user or the operation. The system accesses a dynamic element bound to a user identifier and applies a cryptographic algorithm to derive a recalculated dynamic code. The authorization request is authenticated based at least in part on the recalculated dynamic code matching the dynamic code in the request. In response, the system produces a code validation acknowledgement attributable to issuer-controlled cryptographic material over at least the user identifier and an operation identifier, and outputs the acknowledgement for subsequent verification of the user or the operation.

Abstract: Systems and methods of the present disclosure enable operation authorization using a dynamic code. Embodiments includes a computing system for receiving, from an access control server, an operation authorization request to authorize an operation by an initiator, where the operation authorization request includes a user identifier associated with the operation authorization request, and a dynamic code. The computing system accesses a dynamic key associated with a user credential associated with the user identifier and generates a recalculated dynamic code using a cryptographic algorithm and the dynamic key. The computing system authenticates the operation authorization request based on the dynamic code being equivalent to the recalculated dynamic code and returns the authentication to the access control server to authorize the operation.

Abstract: A vehicle seat is equipped with a display mounted on a reclinable seat back. The display self-adjusts to maintain a desired viewing angle when the recline angle of the seat back changes. The display is selectively locked or unlocked with respect to the seat back to move about a pivot axis. When a change in the recline angle is detected, the display is unlocked until the desired viewing angle is reestablished. Display movement relative to the seat can be damped rotational movement or motorized movement. A user can interact with the display to set or change the desired viewing angle.

Abstract: A portable armrest is manually convertible between a deployed configuration and a folded configuration and includes a lap portion, an arm portion, and a support portion. The support portion vertically spaces the arm portion from the lap portion when the lap portion is positioned on the lap of a seated user with the armrest in a deployed configuration, and the weight of an extended arm of the user is transferred to the lap when the arm is rested on the arm portion. The armrest is formed as a segmented panel including a plurality of rigid segments interconnected into a unitary piece by flexible joints along the perimeter of each segment. The deployed armrest enables users to relax their extended arms while bringing a handheld device into viewing range without lowering their heads. The armrest can be folded into a small packaging space for portability.
