Abstract: Provided is a computer-implemented method for remotely authorizing a transaction. The method includes receiving a transaction request including at least one user identifier, determining an authorizing user of a plurality of authorizing users based at least partially on the at least one user identifier, determining whether the authorizing user is online, communicating, to a user device associated with the at least one authorizing user, an authorization request message, wherein, if the authorizing user is online, the authorization request message includes a mobile device message configured to prompt the authorizing user to provide an approval of the transaction request, and wherein, if the authorizing user is offline, the authorization request message includes an automated telephone call configured to audibly prompt the authorizing user to provide an approval of the transaction request, and completing the transaction in response to receiving an approval of the transaction request from the authorizing user.

Abstract: This disclosure describes systems and methods for dynamically and automatically adapting the level of data logging that occurs within a network of nodes, identifying causes of exceptions that occur within the network and resolving those causes to ensure that the network continues operating efficiently. A monitoring service may automatically increase/decrease data logging of various nodes within the network as it progresses through levels of a network searching for a node that is the source of a cause of an exception. Once identified, the monitoring service may process the logged data and either automatically resolve the cause of the exception or provide information to an operator for resolution.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for sensor and control system, which automatically adjusts a product splitter position of a full-scale spiral. An electrical conductivity-based automation system is described and claimed herein and has been successfully developed and demonstrated as illustrated herein. The system includes a sensor and a microprocessor based and controlled servo or gear motor that is utilized to adjust the splitter of an operating coal/mineral spiral based on the readings of the sensor. The device as described and claimed herein converts a traditional coal spiral to an automated system for controlling the splitter thereby giving the spiral unit the ability to automatically adjust a key process variable, i.e., its splitter position, in real time as and when the feed coal or other mineral property changes to maintain the performance of the spiral at the optimum level.
