Patent number: 11979333Abstract: Systems, methods, and machine-readable media facilitate adaptive multi-system operations. Electronic communications from resource-controlling systems and/or monitoring devices may be monitored to identify signals corresponding to processes performed by the resource-controlling systems, resource capacities of resources controlled by the resource-controlling systems, and states of the resource-controlling systems. System interactions that correspond to a defined event may be detected. A protocol that includes parameter constraints mapped to the defined event identified. Operating conditions of the resource-controlling systems and/or metrics of processes performed may be determined based on the monitoring. A subset of the resource-controlling systems may be identified as a function of the operating conditions and/or the metrics. A resource-controlling system may be caused to allocate corresponding resources and perform the processes in accordance with the protocol.Type: GrantFiled: December 8, 2022Date of Patent: May 7, 2024Assignee: THE WESTERN UNION COMPANYInventors: Sundaresh Sathasivan, Manjot Sohi, Charmi Shah, Sanjay Sankolli, Ajit Kulkarni, Praveen Kumar Nagle, Dattatreya Akella, Sandipan Pal, Dhanya Nair

Patent number: 11544647Abstract: A computing device includes a processor and associated memory. The processor is configured to execute a personal information management service stored in memory to send a first calendar entry for display on a calendar interface for a user. The first calendar entry is for a first account of the user of a first domain. The processor sends a second calendar entry for display on the calendar interface. The second calendar entry is for a calendar of a second account of the user of a second domain. The processor receives a request for an availability of the user from a requesting user having a third account of the first domain. In response to the request, the processor sends to the requesting user the first calendar entry including first calendar entry details, and the second calendar entry without second calendar entry details.Type: GrantFiled: May 2, 2019Date of Patent: January 3, 2023Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Victoria Elizabeth Milton, Charlie Ricafort Chung, Julia Nancy Foran, Jaya Matthew, Roma Ajit Shah, Mirela Dal Col Silva Correa, Hemant Sharma, Dipak Sarjerao Pawar, Haebin Seo, Montine Andrea Rummel

Patent number: 9002911Abstract: A computer-implemented method enables efficient tracking of fileset IDs and inode utilizing a fileset mask and an internal inode mask. A utility dynamically updates the fileset mask and the internal inode mask to enable mapping of the number of one (1) bits in the fileset mask to a fileset identifier (ID) and mapping of the one bits in the inode mask to an inode number for the fileset, as either the number of filesets or the number of inodes required per filesets increases above a next power of two threshold. The one bits within the fileset mask and the internal inode mask are disjoint relative to each other. An external inode number is mapped to a corresponding fileset and to a corresponding inode number by concatenating individual bits of the external inode number corresponding to each one (1) bit within the fileset mask and the inode mask.Type: GrantFiled: July 30, 2010Date of Patent: April 7, 2015Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Owen T.

Patent number: 7889052Abstract: A transponder-reader payment system includes a fob including a transponder, and a RFID reader for interrogating the transponder. The system may further include a payment device separate and distinct from the fob, but associated with payment account mutually shared with the fob. In exemplary operation, the fob identifying information, or the payment device information, may be presented to the RFID reader for completion of a transaction request. A process server may receive the transaction request and satisfy the transaction request in accordance with a predetermined payment criteria. The process server may additionally augment a rewards account based on fob or payment device usage, thereby incenting fob usage in one instance and payment device usage in the other.Type: GrantFiled: January 10, 2003Date of Patent: February 15, 2011Assignee: Xatra Fund MX, LLCInventors: Michael J.
