  • Publication number: 20250014012
    Abstract: Systems and techniques are provided for a resource transfer system. An instruction to transfer a first quantity of a resource from a first resource pool to a second resource pool may be received. A hold may be placed on a second quantity of the resource in the first resource pool. The held second quantity of the first resource may not be transferred from the first resource pool until the hold is released. Responsive to receiving a message that fulfills a condition on the hold and an instruction to execute the transfer, the hold may be released. A register that is in the first resource pool and is associated with the resource may decremented by the first quantity, and a register that is in the second resource pool and is associated with the resource may be incremented by the first quantity.

  • Publication number: 20240354781
    Abstract: Systems and techniques are provided for electronic payment network security. Payment data including an origin and a destination for a payment in an electronic payment network may be received. A route of the payment in the electronic payment network may be estimated based on the origin and the destination. The estimated route of the payment in the electronic payment network may be input to a neural network. Fraud probabilities may be determined using the neural network. A fraud probability may include a value indicating a probability of fraud in the payment in the electronic payment network.

  • Publication number: 20240335248
    Abstract: A closing/locking mechanism for a sterile container includes an actuation lever, a tension bow or claw coupled to the actuation lever, and an engagement element forming an undercut and with which the tension bow or claw can be brought into operative engagement to apply a tensile force to the engagement element. The tension bow or claw is mounted for sliding transversely to the tensile force to be applied. A spring is arranged in an operative position relative to the tension bow or claw in such a way that, when a predefined actuation position of the actuation lever and a predefined/predefinable sliding position of the tension bow or claw are reached, in which position the tension bow or claw already reaches behind the engagement element, the spring applies a compressive force to the tension bow or claw in the direction of the tensile force.

  • Publication number: 20240135338
    Abstract: In a method, computer readable medium, or system for making a payment transaction between a payor having an associated payor computer with a ledger storage for the payor and a payee having an associated payee computer with a ledger storage for the payee in a consensus payment network having a plurality of nodes each comprising a respective computer with ledger storage and relying on consensus determinations, an initiator is provided for making the payment transaction between the payor and the payee, the initiator being either the payor, the payee, or an intermediary having an associated intermediary computer. The respective initiator computer creates a temporary payment transaction consensus subnetwork comprising a set of validation nodes acceptable to both the payor and the payee, the set of validation nodes comprising fewer than all of said plurality of nodes in the payment network.
