Abstract: A transaction is pre-staged by providing transaction preferences, such as a financial instrument, a transaction type, and a transaction amount, to a user device. The user device captures a visual code at a terminal, such as an ATM. The visual code includes terminal attributes, including a signed hash and call-back URI. The user device authenticates the visual code using the signed hash and requests the transaction through the issuer server. The issuer server creates and sends the card data to the call-back URI. The terminal uses the card data to create a transaction request it routes to through its acquirer server.

Abstract: Systems and methods for real-time settlement of an electronic payment transaction using a distributed ledger are provided. In various embodiments, the described techniques can employ settlement tokens to replace legacy interbank settlement transactions denominated in fiat currency against depository accounts or payment cards. As an illustrative example, an initial legacy settlement transaction can be removed from a processing queue and swapped for a distributed ledger transaction that references a smart contract. A node of a distributed network can execute a smart contract that mints a value of a specific settlement token corresponding to the value of the fiat currency in the electronic payment transaction. The settlement tokens can be used as a 1- to ?1 proxy (i.e., a representation) of the fiat currency. Additionally, the system and methods can facilitate the redemption of a value of settlement tokens for a corresponding value of fiat currency.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a method, device and system to efficiently liquefy and isolate a gas from a gaseous mixture. In an embodiment of the present invention, separation of gasses from the atmosphere can be carried out using a cooled surface to separate the gasses from the atmosphere. In an alternative embodiment of the present invention, removal of CO2 from the atmosphere can be carried out by using the method, device and system to efficiently cryogenically separate CO2 from air and capture the CO2 from a gaseous mixture using a surface and release the ‘CO2 lean air’ into the atmosphere and store the captured liquefied CO2.

Abstract: Encapsulation packages for stent-deployable monitoring devices formed of resonator sensors and allowing for magnetic biasing elements that exhibit a targeted impact on the mechanical characteristics of a stent are provided. Encapsulation packages are formed of different types and include a longitudinal shield and curved end on profile for aligning the shield within the deployable stent, the shield having perforations such that a resonator can be positioned adjacent the perforations for allowing particulate within the stent to collect and be measured by the resonator during deployment.

Abstract: A retrofit assembly includes a first lighting module, a second lighting module, and a hub positioned between the first lighting module and the second lighting module. When the first lighting module and second lighting module are at least partially received within cavities formed in the hub, longitudinal axes of the first lighting module and the second lighting module are aligned approximately parallel to one another.

In various embodiments, the described techniques can employ settlement tokens to replace legacy interbank settlement transactions denominated in fiat currency against depository accounts or payment cards. As an illustrative example, an initial legacy settlement transaction can be removed from a processing queue and swapped for a distributed ledger transaction that references a smart contract. A node of a distributed network can execute a smart contract that mints a value of a specific settlement token corresponding to the value of the fiat currency in the electronic payment transaction. The settlement tokens can be used as a 1-to-1 proxy (i.e., a representation) of the fiat currency. Additionally, the system and methods can facilitate the redemption of a value of settlement tokens for a corresponding value of fiat currency.

Abstract: A magnetoelastic tag includes a frame-suspended magnetoelastic resonator that combines a strong resonant response with a relatively small resonator, enabling magnetoelastic sensor use in a variety of inconspicuous applications and/or small packages. The resonator is suspended with respect to a substrate, which reduces, minimizes, or eliminates interaction between the substrate and resonator. Signal strength is thereby enhanced, thereby allowing miniaturization while maintaining a measurable response to the interrogation field. The resonator can have a hexagonal shape and/or be suspended at particular locations about its perimeter to promote signal generation in a direction different from that of the interrogation field. A sensor can include one or more frame-suspended resonators, which can be arranged in an array, stacked, or randomly where a plurality of resonators is employed.

Abstract: A fracture interrogation system includes an antenna adapted for placement in a subterranean wellbore and a plurality of pseudoparticles adapted for distribution with a proppant material into hydraulic fractures along the wellbore. The presence of the pseudoparticles in the hydraulic fractures is detectable by the antenna. The pseudoparticles can include a magnetoelastic resonator having a resonant frequency. An interrogation field excites the resonators at the resonant frequency for detection by the antenna. The same or a different antenna can act as the interrogation field source, and the system can be configured to operate in a talk-and-listen mode to better separate the response signal from the interrogation signal. Electromagnetic, mechanical, or acoustic impulses can be used to excite resonators of the pseudoparticles.
