Patent number: 11989740Abstract: A method of reducing a future amount of electronic fraud alerts includes receiving data detailing a financial transaction, inputting the data into a rules-based engine that generates an electronic fraud alert, transmitting the alert to a mobile device of a customer, and receiving from the mobile device customer feedback indicating that the alert was a false positive or otherwise erroneous. The method also includes inputting the data detailing the financial transaction into a machine learning program trained to (i) determine a reason why the false positive was generated, and (ii) then modify the rules-based engine to account for the reason why the false positive was generated, and to no longer generate electronic fraud alerts based upon (a) fact patterns similar to fact patterns of the financial transaction, or (b) data similar to the data detailing the financial transaction, to facilitate reducing an amount of future false positive fraud alerts.Type: GrantFiled: November 23, 2022Date of Patent: May 21, 2024Assignee: State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance CompanyInventors: Timothy Kramme, Elizabeth A. Flowers, Reena Batra, Miriam Valero, Puneit Dua, Shanna L Phillips, Russell Ruestman, Bradley A. Craig

In one example, a three-dimensional printing kit can include a build material and a binding agent. The build material can include particles of copper or a copper alloy. The binding agent can include water, copper (II) nitrate or a hydrate thereof, and a reaction inhibition additive. The additive can be a copper oxide etchant, a water-soluble phosphate-containing compound, or a combination thereof.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 26, 2021Publication date: May 9, 2024Inventors: Thomas Craig ANTHONY, Elizabeth GALATI, Kyle WYCOFF, John Samuel Dilip JANGAM

Patent number: 11978064Abstract: In a computer-implemented method of using customer data to determine that geolocation-based fraud alerts are false positives, it may be determined that an electronic fraud alert is a geolocation-based alert generated based upon an unexpected or abnormal transaction location. In response, customer data may be obtained from two or more sources via radio frequency links. It may then be determined that the customer data from the sources indicates that a customer is traveling. In response, it may be determined that a customer location indicated by the customer data corresponds to the transaction location. In response to determining that the customer location corresponds to the transaction location, the electronic fraud alert may be marked as a false positive, and the electronic fraud alert may be prevented from being transmitted to a mobile device of the customer, in order to reduce an amount of false positives that are transmitted to customers.Type: GrantFiled: May 16, 2022Date of Patent: May 7, 2024Assignee: State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance CompanyInventors: Timothy Kramme, Elizabeth A. Flowers, Reena Batra, Miriam Valero, Puneit Dua, Shanna L. Phillips, Russell Ruestman, Bradley A. Craig
