  • Publication number: 20260133894
    Abstract: In some implementations, a validation device may receive a set of rules associated with requests to and responses from a set of application programming interfaces (APIs). The validation device may transmit, to the set of APIs, a plurality of requests based on the set of rules. The validation device may receive, from the set of APIs, a plurality of responses corresponding to the plurality of requests. The validation device may verify the plurality of responses against the set of rules. The validation device may transmit, to a user device, instructions for a user interface indicating one or more results from verifying the plurality of responses against the set of rules.

  • Patent number: 12579316
    Abstract: In some implementations, a data partner may transmit a first request associated with a user account and may receive a first response including an access token. The data partner may transmit a second request, that includes the access token, for a list of applications associated with the user account and may receive a second response including the list of applications. The data partner may transmit a third request, that includes the access token, for a list of activities associated with the list of applications and may receive a third response including the list of activities. The data partner may transmit a fourth request, that includes the access token, to unlink a selected application, from the list of applications, from the user account. The data partner may receive an indication that a token associated with the selected application was revoked.

  • Publication number: 20250037125
    Abstract: In some implementations, a tokenizer may receive, from a registered device, an authorization request for account information, in a format associated with a network, to use for an event. The tokenizer may generate a token, transparent to the format associated with the network and based on the account information, where the token expires after a single use for the event. The tokenizer may transmit the token to the registered device in response to the authorization request. The tokenizer may transmit an indication associated with the token to a processing device included in the network.

  • Publication number: 20150332229
    Abstract: The disclosed system integrates an electronic payment system with the ability to generate, accept, and/or track paper checks as well as electronic payments. One embodiment of the system includes software enabled to open an electronic account and accept funds into that account. Then, the user of that account may select either to generate an electronic payment, or alternatively, to print off a paper check from that account, using the account number of the electronic account and the name of the recipient for whom the check was intended.

  • Publication number: 20060285988
    Abstract: A rotary actuator includes one or more rotor vanes (40); an endplate (60); a corner seal (30) being positioned between the rotor vanes (40) and the endplate (60); a vane seal (20); a high pressure chamber and a low pressure chamber; and a single channel (22) extending from a lower portion of a vane seal groove (25) to a common channel (28) beneath the vane seal (20), wherein the high pressure chamber is in fluid communication with the corner seal (30) via the single channel (22) and the common channel (28). The common channel (28) may be formed in the rotor vane (40) or provided separately in a rotor vane flow sleeve (21) positioned along an interior surface of the rotor vane (40). The single channel (22) is machined from the bottom of the vane seal groove (25) to the area behind the corner seal (30).

  • Patent number: 5765411
    Abstract: A security bar that can be retrofitted onto a gate used in a typical fence construction to prevent unauthorized tampering with or opening of the gate. The device includes a rigid locking bar that is firmly mounted to the gate, a T-shaped strike plate, and a key-actuated latchbolt mechanism mounted within the inside of the rigid locking bar so that the latchbolt and strike plate cannot be accessed for tampering. The strike plate is mounted to a conventional fence post with fasteners that are not accessible when the gate is closed. Using the present device, which can be retrofitted to any type of outdoor gate, a positive locking action insures that the gate is locked at all times and cannot be jimmied or pulled upward to a position that would allow it to be opened. The locking mechanism allows access from either side of the gate for actuation.
