    Abstract: Aspects described herein may provide detection of a feature of an authorization code image (ACI) incorporated onto a document, thereby allowing for validation of the document. According to some aspects, these and other benefits may be achieved by an instance of a variable protocol that may specify how to generate the ACI to have a particular feature as well as how to detect the particular feature of the ACI. A recipient of the document incorporating the ACI may detect the particular feature of the ACI. If the detected feature matches an expected feature, then the ACI and the document may be determined to be authentic.

    Abstract: Disclosed embodiments may relate to a time-dependent color-changing label for a product. The label may include a first layer comprising a plurality of particles, the particles comprising a time dependent color-changing material that changes color after a predetermined time period, the predetermined time period being greater than one month. The label may also include an attachment structure attaching the first layer to the product. In certain embodiments, the first layer may include a polymer, and the particles may include glass microspheres containing the time-dependent color changing material. The particles may be embedded in the polymer.

    Abstract: An electronic device, such as a dynamic transaction card having a chip, an applet, and a cryptographic coprocessor performs secure firmware and/or software updates, and performs firmware and/or software validation for firmware and/or software that is stored on the electronic device. Validation may compare a calculated checksum with a checksum stored in the device. If a checksum calculated for a firmware and/or a software application matches a stored checksum, the transaction card may operate normally. If a checksum calculated for a firmware and/or a software application does not match the stored checksum, the transaction card may freeze all capabilities, erase the memory of the transaction card, display data indicative of fraud, and/or the like.

    Abstract: The embodiments include systems and methods for adjustable polarization in service-providing terminals. In some embodiments, a system may include a display, an input device, an adjustable polarization screen adjacent to the display, and a polarization adjuster. The system may further include a processor configured to execute instructions to perform operations comprising providing illumination to the adjustable polarization screen through the display, controlling, via the polarization adjuster, a polarization of the adjustable polarization screen to a first polarization, receiving, via the input device, a polarization selection input, and based on the polarization selection input, adjusting, via the polarization adjuster, the polarization of the adjustable polarization screen from the first polarization to a second polarization.

    Abstract: A dynamic transaction card that includes a transaction card having a number of layers, each of which may be interconnected to one another. For example, a dynamic transaction card may include a protective film layer, an outer protective layer, a core layer, a potting layer, a touch sensor layer, a display layer (including, for example, LEDs, a dot matrix display, and the like), a microcontroller storing firmware, Java applets, Java applet integration, and the like, an EMV™ chip, an energy storage component, one or more antennas (e.g., Bluetooth™ antenna, NFC antenna, and the like), a power management component, a flexible printed circuit board (PCB), a chassis, and/or a card backing layer, which may include a back protective layer. The antennas may be mounted on the protective film layer and connected to the printed circuit board (PCB) using conductive epoxies.
