Abstract: A method for displaying data on a computing device having a graphical user interface is disclosed. A selection of a merchant is received from a user via a user selection button displayed on the graphical user interface. A peer group for the merchant is determined. The peer group is comprised of one or more peer merchants that are in the same industry as the merchant. A first dataset having one or more merchant variables for the merchant is received. A second dataset having one or more peer variables for the peer group is received. The first dataset is analyzed to determine if one or more anomalies are present in the first data set. If one or more anomalies are present, the anomalies are removed. The one or more merchant variables and the one or more peer variables are displayed on a graphical user interface.

Abstract: Payment instruments used on behalf of a sponsor may be restricted from use at certain locations. The sponsor may indicate that use of the payment instrument at either specific merchants or certain categories of merchants is not in accordance with the sponsor's goals or values. A system evaluates every transaction request to determine if the personal account number of the payment instrument is associated with the sponsor. If so, the transaction may be further screened to determine if the transaction is from a location to be blocked, in which case a flag may be added to the transaction indicating it is from blocked location. An issuer of the payment instrument may then determine whether to approve or deny the transaction. A tool may generate a dataset of locations and/or merchant categories for use in identifying blocked locations.

Abstract: A POR circuit for a secondary supply domain of an IC. A bias and reference circuit provides startup current and a reference voltage for a comparator. The comparator compares the reference voltage with a primary supply voltage and develops a bias current. The bias and reference circuit and the comparator includes a VGS loop which mirrors the bias current to develop the reference voltage. When the comparator switches, the bias current is at the low quiescent current level. A level shift and isolation circuit initially isolates a primary POR signal from the secondary domain. When the comparator switches, the primary POR signal is detected and level shifted to control the reset state. The delay circuit senses ramping of the secondary supply voltage and provides a delayed secondary POR signal a predetermined time period after the secondary supply voltage achieves a predetermined voltage threshold to additionally control the reset state.

Abstract: Techniques are described for employing a graph-based analysis to determine a configuration of datasets to be stored on data storage systems in a data warehouse environment. Associations between datasets may be determined based on the parsing of join statements or other types of statements in jobs that are executed on the data storage systems. A graph may be generated that describes the associations among datasets. A greedy breadth-first traversal of the graph may be performed to determine sets of associated datasets. A utilization metric describing a weight of storing the datasets may be determined and employed to identify a data storage system on which to store a set of associated datasets, given the storage and processing capacity of the data storage system.
