  • Publication number: 20200380426
    Abstract: Systems and methods for onboarding a user of a travel booking system, program, or application. In particular, a secure traveler profile may be created by establishing user identity information, establishing user payment information, creating a travel profile, and linking to a user calendar. In some embodiments, user identity and/or payment information may be verified or confirmed. Creating a travel profile may include receiving information related to a user's travel preferences and/or travel priorities. Additionally, the onboarding process may include establishing a communication link with a user's calendaring application or program, such that new calendar entries may be communicated to the travel booking system, program, or application.

  • Publication number: 20030034216
    Abstract: An annular friction liner for a bridging clutch of a torque converter. The liner has a radially extending friction surface engageable with a reaction surface of the torque converter. The friction surface has a plurality of circumferentially spaced grooves extending from a radially inner edge of the friction surface to a radially outer edge thereof. Each groove extends along a serpentine path and has a series of contiguous groove sections which interconnect end-to-end at a substantial angle to one another. This groove path provides a mixing module for promoting turbulence.
