  • Patent number: 12359684
    Abstract: Material flow modifiers as disclosed herein overcome drawbacks associated with known adverse flow conditions (e.g., surface erosion, head losses, particulate drop-out, and the like) that arise from flow of certain types of materials (e.g., fluids, slurries, particulates, flowable aggregate, and the like) through a material flow conduit. Such material flow modifiers provide for flow of flowable material within a flow passage of a material flow conduit (e.g., a portion of a pipeline, tubing or the like) to have a rotational flow profile. Advantageously, the rotational flow profile centralizes flow toward the central portion of the flow passage, thereby reducing magnitude of laminar flow to overcome the aforementioned adverse flow conditions.

  • Publication number: 20250225500
    Abstract: Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer-readable media for secure generation of one-time passcodes using a contactless card. In one example, an operating system (OS) of a device may receive a uniform resource locator (URL) and a cryptogram from a contactless card. The OS may launch an application associated with the URL. The application may transmit the cryptogram to an authentication server. The application may receive a decryption result from the authentication server indicating the authentication server decrypted the cryptogram. Based on the decryption result, the application may request an OTP. The processor may receive an OTP from an OTP generator. The application may receive an input value and compare the input value to a copy of the OTP. The application may determine that the comparison results in a match, and display, based on the determination that the comparison results in the match, one or more attributes of the account.

  • Publication number: 20250224956
    Abstract: Techniques are described herein for implementing and using a project management interface software tool configured to integrate and bind together multiple additional software tools and provide a single engagement layer. In various examples, the project management interface may provide users (e.g., individual contributors such as designers, developers, project managers, etc.) with alignment and focus, by serving as a single source of updated and accurate project data across all of the multiple underlying tools. The project management interface also may improve user functionality and leverage by providing deep integrations and cross-tool interoperability. The project management interface described herein also may improve ergonomics by providing a consistent and uniform user experience, and building on the backend technologies of the underlying tools rather than replacing those tools.
