Patent number: 11043084Abstract: An automated teller machine includes a processor, a wireless communications module, a cash dispenser, and a memory. The memory stores instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the automated teller machine to detect, using the wireless communications module, that an authentication token capable of wireless communication has been brought into communications range of the module and communicate with the authentication token to cryptographically authenticate the token and to receive information identifying an account associated with the token. Then, without receiving user-input providing a second authentication factor the automated teller machine initiates processing of a withdrawal of a specified quantity of cash from the account. The processing of the withdrawal includes determining, based on an automated assessment of compliance with one or more policies, that the withdrawal is executable without further authentication.Type: GrantFiled: February 13, 2020Date of Patent: June 22, 2021Assignee: The Toronto-Dominion BankInventors: A Warren Pratten, Anthony Wayne Miles, Vikram Malhotra, Ratnadeep Bhadra, James Kenneth McCrae, Vincent Fazio

Publication number: 20200111085Abstract: A computer-implemented method for providing dynamic foreign exchange includes receiving an indication of a number associated with a card used to access an automated teller machine. A portion of the number identifying an issuer of the card may be extracted. Based on the issuer of the card, it may be determined that dynamic foreign exchange should be offered for a transaction. Then, a request may be sent to a foreign exchange rate service device for a dynamically-determined foreign exchange rate quote, the quote to be provided to the automated teller machine. An indication that the quoted rate was accepted at the automated teller machine may be received and then the transaction may be processed with foreign exchange provided at the quoted rate by an entity associated with the foreign exchange rate service device. Related systems and computer-readable media are also disclosed.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 4, 2018Publication date: April 9, 2020Applicant: The Toronto-Dominion BankInventors: A Warren PRATTEN, Vincent FAZIO, Anthony Wayne MILES, Vikram MALHOTRA, Ratnadeep BHADRA, James Kenneth MCCRAE

Patent number: 9539947Abstract: A running board assembly for a vehicle including a running board and a plurality of brackets for connecting the running board to a rocker. The brackets include first and second planar supports extending downward and laterally outward from the rocker to the running board. The planar supports are spaced from each other and are disposed in a vertical/transverse plane. The first and second planar supports are disposed parallel to each other and form a parallelogram connecting the running board to the rocker that deflects in a longitudinal direction when impacted from the side in an impact. The running board assembly includes a mounting plate attached to the rocker that defines a plurality of longitudinally extending slots. The first and second planar supports are secured to the mounting plate with a first set of fasteners that are received in the slots.Type: GrantFiled: November 17, 2015Date of Patent: January 10, 2017Assignee: FORD GLOBAL TECHNOLOGIES, LLCInventors: John W.

Patent number: 9045172Abstract: A catcher bracket disposed between a powertrain and a sub-frame of a vehicle. The catcher bracket defines a load path in a collision that is sufficient to displace the powertrain that directs the force of the impact through the catcher bracket to a sub-frame of the vehicle. The sub-frame is connected to the body structure of the vehicle by fasteners that fracture to decouple the powertrain and sub-frame from the body structure of the vehicle to reduce the collision pulse.Type: GrantFiled: July 25, 2013Date of Patent: June 2, 2015Assignee: Ford Global Technologies, LLCInventors: Sriram Gopal, Bhimaraddi Venkaraddi Alavandi, John Vincent Fazio, Matthew B.

Publication number: 20130181429Abstract: An airbag assembly includes a steering wheel, an airbag housing mounted to a hub of the steering wheel, and an airbag stored in the housing. The airbag includes a rim-facing panel, a driver-facing panel, an upper tether extending between the housing and a first location on the driver-facing panel opposite from the hub, and a lower tether extending between the housing and a second location below the first location. The tethers shape the airbag to have a thicker head contact portion adjacent to the upper rim of the steering wheel and a thinner chest contact portion adjacent to the lower rim of the steering wheel. The shape provides more balanced occupant protection in a frontal crash event, because the thicker head contact portion reduces the driver's head acceleration and neck injury.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 12, 2012Publication date: July 18, 2013Applicant: Ford Global Technologies, LLCInventors: Tzu-Chen Weng, Kirk David Arthurs, John Vincent Fazio, Chunhui Lee, Djamal Eddine Midoun

Patent number: 5908172Abstract: A spool for filamentary material such as optical fibers and others consists of two members which are locked together to form a drum with two opposed flanges defining a winding space. The two members may be separated to allow material wound on the drum to be removed at will. After the material is removed, the two parts may be locked again making the spool reusable.Type: GrantFiled: September 5, 1996Date of Patent: June 1, 1999Assignee: Crellin, Inc.Inventors: Steven William Pierro, Ronald Tracy Trefzger, Leland Hubert Boyles, James Richard Wilkinson, Victor Joseph Desrosiers, Robert Vincent Fazio
