Patent number: 11521214Abstract: Disclosed in some examples, are methods, systems, and machine-readable mediums which build and utilize an artificial intelligence model to predict debtor payment timing. The past debtor payment history and other debtor information may be for a plurality of accounts over a past time period. Once the model is created, it may be used when a debtor misses a payment to determine a prediction of when the debtor will pay. The model uses characteristics of past debtors and their payment dates to predict, based upon the characteristics of the late debtor, when the late debtor will make a payment. The predicted timing may include a predicted probability for whether the payment will be made within the predicted timing. The predicted timing may be a specific date, or a window (e.g., a three-day window).Type: GrantFiled: October 8, 2020Date of Patent: December 6, 2022Assignee: Wells Fargo Bank, N.A.Inventors: Shawn Anthony Hetrick, Heather Charlotte Pemble, Brian J.

Publication number: 20170293984Abstract: A profile manager (PM) server receives a Food Profiling Request Message (FPREM), from a consumer's Wireless Receive/Transmit Unit (WRTU), responsive to a WRTU-initiated food-related event (FEP). The FPREM is created from information in an Input Mobile Element (IME) sent to the WRTU from a FEP provider responsive to its initiation. The IME includes code providing a link to other code directing the FPREM to the PM server. The FPREM includes an identifier for the FEP (FEID) and a consumer food profile class (CFPC). The PM server searches a lookup table for the FEID and the CFPC to determine consumer-pre-authorized attributes for sharing in association with the FEP corresponding to the FEID. The PM server sends, to a processing system associated with the FEP (FEPPS), a Food Profiling Request Response (PFRER), which includes the FEID and one of the attributes or an indication that no attributes are authorized for sharing.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 27, 2017Publication date: October 12, 2017Applicant: Kitchology, Inc.Inventors: Steve Goldberg, Alain Briancon, Ian Durham, Iris Sherman, John Ellsworth, Ryan B.

Patent number: 9728791Abstract: A self-sealing flow frame is provided having a first frame component and a second frame component. Each frame component is provided with a tongue-and-groove configuration that when assembled forms a tessellation engagement, which creates the seal. When each frame component is assembled into a flow frame, with the inner surfaces facing towards each other, the tongue-and-groove arrangements create a seal profile that circumscribe constituent parts of a device within which the self-sealing flow frame is being employed. As the frame components are compressively secured and fastened together, a tessellation engagement of the seal profile forms the fluid seal. Fluids of the device are prevented from exfiltrating the device, and are contained within the self-sealing flow frame by the fluid seal.Type: GrantFiled: July 10, 2015Date of Patent: August 8, 2017Assignee: Concurrent Technologies CorporationInventors: Michel J. McCluskey, John Ellsworth Gover, Jr., Bryan P. Tipton, Kevin Anthony Weaver, Jennifer Lyne Kronick, David B. Berkey, Daniel R. Markiewicz

Publication number: 20160232624Abstract: Methods, apparatus and systems are described. A method, implemented in a Food Event Processing Platform, includes establishing communication with a Wireless Receive/Transmit Unit (WRTU) attempting to process a food-related event (FE). One or more micro-service software components (MSSCs) of the FEPP are identified to process the FE. Information is obtained about a user of the WRTU that was deduced from information regarding transactions engaged in via the WRTU, and FE-related attributes are communicated to the MSSCs. It is determined whether affirmative action from the user is required. If so, a food event involvement trigger (FEIT), including a request for the affirmative action, is sent to the WRTU. A response to the FEIT is received, processed and forwarded to the MSSCs for processing. If the response is positive, the deduced information is provided to a processing system associated with a provider of the FE so it can begin processing the FE.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 23, 2015Publication date: August 11, 2016Applicant: Kitchology Inc.Inventors: Steve Goldberg, Alain Briancon, Ian Durham, Iris Sherman, John Ellsworth, Ryan B.
