Publication number: 20240086939Abstract: A computing system includes one or more processing circuits configured to identify an anomaly associated with an electronic transaction, wherein the anomaly is identified based on a profile or pattern of a user. The processing circuits further configured to transmit data corresponding to the anomaly to a user interface. The processing circuits further configured to receive, using the user interface, an indication that one or more risks associated with the anomaly are acceptable. The processing circuits further configured to transmit, to the user interface, an indication of at least one rule violation and information for resolving the at least one rule violation. The processing circuits further configured to receive, from the user interface, a response setting an exception and update the profile of the user, wherein updating comprises changing a classification of the profile of the user based on profile data consistent with the electronic transaction.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 17, 2023Publication date: March 14, 2024Applicant: Wells Fargo Bank, N.A.Inventors: Kelley Chamberlain, David J.

Patent number: 11825841Abstract: Exemplary methods of and system for generating an antimicrobial wipe to clean and disinfect a surface contaminated with bacteria, viruses, spores, fungi, or combinations thereof. In some embodiments, the method includes applying non-thermal plasma to a moistened wipe to activate a liquid in the wipe. In some embodiments, the method includes applying non-thermal plasma to a liquid and then applying the activated liquid to a wipe. In one embodiment of a system for generating an antimicrobial wipe the system includes a housing having an opening; a supply of wipes disposed within the housing; a non-thermal plasma generator disposed within the housing; a power supply electrically coupled to the non-thermal plasma generator; and a feed system disposed within the housing, wherein the feed system moves one or more wipes from the supply of wipes past the plasma generator and out of the opening. As the feed system moves the wipes past the plasma generator, the plasma generator applies non-thermal plasma to the wipes.Type: GrantFiled: January 25, 2021Date of Patent: November 28, 2023Assignee: GOJO Industries, Inc.Inventors: Tsung-Chan Tsai, Jeffrey S.
