Patent number: 11928664Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for processing cardless financial transactions at transaction devices such as Automated Teller Machines. An example method comprises receiving a transaction request including at least one transaction parameter and receiving a substitute value representing an account for processing the transaction request. The substitute value is distinct from an account number associated with the account. The method further comprises sending the at least one transaction parameter and the substitute value to a payment network associated with the substitute value and completing the transaction request. A second method comprises receiving a transaction request with at least one transaction parameter and a substitute value. The second method further comprises determining account credentials associated with the substitute value using the account credentials.Type: GrantFiled: May 14, 2020Date of Patent: March 12, 2024Assignee: Fidelity Information Services, LLCInventors: Hitesh Bajaj, Douglas G.

Patent number: 8057326Abstract: The golf ball marker has a top side contoured and textured to represent a portion of an actual golf course and a flat bottom side. The flat bottom side has an indicia-receiving surface portion. The top bottom sides are separated by a perimeter that is shaped to enclose representations of the terrains of the portion of the actual golf course. The contoured top side may bear a name of the portion of the actual golf course in lettering, with or without a panel. The lettering is preferably proximate to the perimeter and arranged conformally to the shape thereof. The lettering may be cut in relief. A coupling, which does not extend below the bottom side, is optional. A decoration in or representing the golf hole on the green may be provided. The golf ball marker may be manufactured based on digital data either provided by or selected by the customer.Type: GrantFiled: March 20, 2009Date of Patent: November 15, 2011Inventor: Robert Woodbury

Patent number: 4903219Abstract: A technique for determining and resetting one or more flags in a digital word in memory in which the flags comprise added bits in known locations different from any of the magnitude bits in the word. A sign bit is included and a flag is set by making its bit value differ from that of the sign bit. A digital word from the memory is AND'd with a bit mask to check the flag bit location. A parity routine is run to determine whether the flag bit is set, and if so, the memory location of the word and the type of flag is recorded. The word with the flag bit set is XOR'd with another bit mask to reset the flag bit so that the word may be returned to its memory location with the flag reset.Type: GrantFiled: January 27, 1988Date of Patent: February 20, 1990Assignee: Sun Electric Corp.Inventors: Neal S.
