  • Patent number: 10997808
    Abstract: The present application provides an unlocking solution. In this solution, after obtaining a digital key seed, a user mobile device can generate a digital key for multiple times by using the digital key seed and first check data corresponding to a current unlocking operation, and then send the digital key to a smart door lock for verification and unlocking. Because the digital key includes the first check data only corresponding to the current unlocking operation, an attacker cannot use the digital key to perform unlocking again even if the attacker obtains the digital key. In addition, because the digital key seed can be used for multiple times, a smart door lock server does not need to be connected each time to obtain the digital key. Therefore, both security and ease of use are satisfied.

  • Patent number: 10892901
    Abstract: The present application provides a facial data collection and verification solution. In this solution, after collecting a face sample, a collection device uses the face sample and check data including a random number as to-be-signed data, performs signature by using a device private key, to obtain a facial data signature, and then obtains trusted facial data based on the to-be-signed data, the facial data signature, and a digital certificate that includes a device public key. When performing verification on the trusted facial data, a facial recognition server sequentially performs verification on the digital certificate that includes the device public key, the facial data signature, and the check data. Because content used for the verification process is added for the face sample on the collection device, subsequent verification cannot succeed if a transmitted communication packet is replaced by an attacker. Therefore, a replay attack is prevented at the collection source.

  • Patent number: 10891457
    Abstract: Implementations of the present disclosure provide a service processing method, device, and system associated with unified resource locator (URL)-based two-dimensional (code). In an implementation, a URL is received from a first service institution. The URL is obtained by a mobile device from scanning a 2D code provided by a service provider and sent to the first service institution. The URL is then parsed to identify one or more data elements including a service network identifier, a service institution identifier, and a payload including a service object identifier. The one or more data elements is sent to the second service institution based on the service institution identifier. Service information associated with the service object is received from the second service institution based on the service object identifier, and the service information is sent to the first service institution for presenting on the mobile device.

    Abstract: A system includes a high side heat exchanger, a flash tank, a first load, a second load, and a thermal storage tank. The high side heat exchanger is configured to remove heat from a refrigerant. The flash tank is configured to store the refrigerant from the high side heat exchanger and discharge a flash gas. The first load is configured to use the refrigerant from the flash tank to remove heat from a first space proximate to the first load. The second load is configured to use the refrigerant from the flash tank to remove heat from a second space proximate to the second load. The thermal storage tank is configured, when a power outage is determined to be occurring, to receive the flash gas from the flash tank, and remove heat from the flash gas.

  • Publication number: 20200363109
    Abstract: A cooling system includes a second receiver that receives refrigerant from a low side heat exchanger. A pipe connects the second receiver to a first receiver. A vapor portion of the refrigerant in the first receiver can flow through the pipe to the second receiver. A compressor is used to create a pressure differential in the second receiver relative to the first receiver such that the pressure in the first receiver is greater than the pressure in the second receiver. This pressure differential effectively acts as a pump that pushes the liquid refrigerant in the first receiver towards the low side heat exchanger.

  • Publication number: 20200256599
    Abstract: An apparatus includes a high side heat exchanger, a flash tank, a load, a compressor, and a heat exchanger. The high side heat exchanger removes heat from a refrigerant. The flash tank stores the refrigerant from the high side heat exchanger and to discharge a flash gas. The load uses the refrigerant from the cool a space proximate the load. The compressor compresses the refrigerant from the load. The heat exchanger transfers heat from the refrigerant from the compressor to the flash gas before the refrigerant from the compressor reaches the high side heat exchanger. The heat exchanger directs the flash gas to the compressor after heat from the refrigerant from the compressor is transferred to the flash gas and directs the refrigerant from the compressor to the high side heat exchanger after heat from the refrigerant from the compressor is transferred to the flash gas.
