  • Publication number: 20220329436
    Abstract: An example operation may include one or more of receiving, via a first blockchain peer, a request to verify an identity of a user, performing, via the first blockchain peer, an identity validation of the user via a know your customer (KYC) service provider of a blockchain network, determining whether a digital identity of the user has been previously stored by another blockchain peer on a blockchain of the blockchain network, in response to a determination that the digital identity of the user has not been stored on the blockchain, creating a non-fungible token (NFT) that identifies the user, and appending information about the identity validation of the user to a structure of the NFT and storing the NFT in a block of the blockchain.

  • Publication number: 20220172198
    Abstract: An example operation may include one or more of receiving, via a payment network, a request to detokenize a payment token to process a payment transaction between a source and a target, detokenizing the payment token based on mapping data stored in a token vault, transmitting information about the detokenized payment token to a computing device associated with the request, generating a settlement token that comprises identifiers of the source and the target and an identifier of the payment token, and transmitting the settlement token to a blockchain on a blockchain settlement network which is parallel to the payment network.

  • Patent number: 10546257
    Abstract: Optimization of event aggregation in an event-driven system is provided. An event queue is queried for a current event. A workload affinity coefficient that describes the current event, at least in part, is read. A database is searched for one or more matching workload affinity coefficients. The current event and one or more events that are respectively associated with one or more matching workload affinity coefficients are aggregated, thereby generating an aggregated event.

  • Publication number: 20190347659
    Abstract: An electronic system, computer-implementable method, and non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium for providing overdraft protection during an electronic financial transaction. In various examples, overdraft protection is provided by transferring funds from accounts held by an account holder at different financial institutions. In one example, transfers take place using a first real-time electronic payment system of a first financial institution and a second real-time electronic payment system of a second financial institution.

  • Publication number: 20190347714
    Abstract: An electronic system, computer-implementable method, and non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium for providing overdraft protection during an electronic financial transaction. In various examples, the electronic system receives, from an account holder, a request for withdrawal of funds from a first account of the account holder held at a first financial institution. If the first account has an amount of funds sufficient to cover the request for withdrawal, the request for withdrawal is completed. If the first account does not have a sufficient amount of funds to cover the request for withdrawal, a real-time electronic payment system is used to transfer an amount of funds from a second account of the account holder held at a second financial institution to the first account to cover the request for withdrawal. The request for withdrawal of funds is completed using funds from the first account.

  • Patent number: 10065548
    Abstract: A seat control system is used with a seat of a vehicle and includes a housing, a first pulley rotatable between first, second, and third positions, and a second pulley rotatable between first and second positions. The seat control system includes a first input cable rotating a first pulley when tensioned, a first output cable tensioned by the first pulley, and a second output cable tensioned by the second pulley. A pawl is coupled to and movable with the first pulley between the first, second, and third positions and selectively rotatable relative to the first pulley. The pawl engages the second pulley to couple and rotate the first and second pulleys from the first positions to the second positions. The pawl disengages the second pulley as the first pulley rotates from the second position to the third position to permit rotation of the second pulley to the first position.

  • Patent number: 9835233
    Abstract: A gearbox for actuating at least one component of a vehicle seat. The gearbox includes a housing. An input pulley and an output pulley are rotatably coupled to the housing. A sun gear is attached to one of the pulleys. A ring gear is coupled to the housing and disposed about the sun gear. A plurality of planetary gears are attached to the other of the pulleys and are operably engaged with the sun gear and the ring gear. An input cable is coupled to the input pulley to rotate the input pulley in a first direction. An output cable is coupled to the output pulley and moves in a first direction in response to rotation of the input pulley. A biasing member is operatively connected to the output pulley to rotate the output pulley in a second direction opposite of the first direction to move the input cable.
