  • Patent number: 11961136
    Abstract: Various embodiments are directed to processing and executing digital asset transfers between two users. An example method includes receiving a data object defining a digital asset transfer, and the data object may be a query from the first user to initiate an outbound transfer to a second user or an approval of a request for digital asset units from the second user. The method further includes retrieving account balance data objects associated with the digital asset accounts for the first and second users. The method further includes, responsive to determining that the digital asset transfer satisfies one or more transfer conditions, executing the digital asset transfer by executing a closed-loop debit from the first user and executing a closed-loop credit to the second user. The method further includes updating the account balance data object to reflect the resulting balances of each digital asset account.

  • Patent number: 11941099
    Abstract: Biometric features are derived from security data associated with a subject. The security data is obtained from a security device. A biometric value is calculated from the biometric features. The biometric value is anonymized to an identifier associated with the subject. The identifier is integrated with event data associated with a security system. In an embodiment, the security device is a Personal Identification Number (PIN) pad integrated into a transaction terminal, the security data is fingerprint data, which is read from a finger of the subject placed on a fingerprint reader integrated into the PIN pad, and the biometric value is a PIN calculated from fingerprint data during a transaction at the transaction terminal. In an embodiment, the security device is a security camera, the security data is a secure video stream, and the biometric features are facial features of the subject in the secure video stream.

  • Patent number: 11940556
    Abstract: A testing device for testing a distance sensor includes: a receiver for receiving an electromagnetic free-space wave as a receive signal; an analog-to-digital converter configured to, in a simulation mode, convert the receive signal into a sampled signal; a signal-processing unit configured to: delay the sampled signal or a modulated sampled signal to form a delayed sampled signal or a modulated delayed sampled signal; and modulate, upon the sampled signal or upon the delayed sampled signal, a predeterminable Doppler signature as a characteristic motion profile of a reflecting object to be simulated to form the modulated sampled signal or the modulated delayed sample signal; a digital-to-analog converter configured to convert the modulated or the modulated delayed sampled signal into a simulated reflected signal; and a transmitter configured to radiate the simulated reflected signal or a simulated reflected signal derived from the simulated reflected signal as an output signal.

  • Publication number: 20240095723
    Abstract: Various embodiments of the present disclosure are generally directed to processing conversions of digital assets to fiat currency. An example method includes obtaining a conversion rate for a digital asset via an API, providing the conversion rate via a client device, receiving a digital asset conversion request and executing a digital asset conversion within a configurable time period. Executing the digital asset conversion includes causing digital asset units to be debited from the digital asset user account and causing fiat currency units to be credited to a fiat currency user account. The method further includes dynamically providing a notification of execution of the digital asset conversion via the client device, updating account balance data objects associated with the digital asset user account and the fiat currency user account, and subsequent to executing the digital asset conversion, executing a fiat currency transaction (e.g., a settlement) with a digital asset exchange system.

  • Publication number: 20240086591
    Abstract: Systems and methods for simulating a circuit board design include receiving a printed circuit board design comprising an electronic component and a dielectric board, generating a first finite element model of the dielectric board independent of the electronic component, and generating a second finite element model for the electronic component. The method further includes combining the first finite element model with the second finite element model to obtain a final finite element model for the printed circuit board design.

  • Publication number: 20240075379
    Abstract: A game server provides game data of a location-based game to a plurality of client devices based on a first set of one or more game designs. First activity data associated with the location-based game is received from the plurality of client devices based on the first set of one or more game designs. The game server determines whether the first activity data from the plurality of client devices meets a predetermined starting condition associated with a local virtual event. The local virtual event is started for the plurality of client devices in response to determining that the first activity data meets the predetermined starting condition. The game server provides game data based on the local virtual event to the plurality of client devices. The virtual event has a second game design that is different from the first set of one or more game designs.

  • Patent number: 11058469
    Abstract: The present invention is generally directed to a reduced shock breakaway screw for use with medical implants and the like having improved solid wall geometry in the breakaway area between the upper and lower portions of the set screw. This improved geometry serves to slow down the fracturing process during shearing, thereby increasing the proportion of energy dissipated as heat from plastic deformation of the material to the amount of energy released as kinetic energy from elastic rebound.
