  • Patent number: 11755651
    Abstract: A method for generating categorical and criterion-based search results from a search query including receiving the search query, generating one or more query fragments, determining a category corresponding to the search query, determining one or more filters applicable to the search query and one or more core search terms applicable to the search query based at least in part on the determined category and the one or more query fragments, generating at least one custom query for at least one target database in the one or more target databases based at least in part on the one or more filters, the one or more core search terms, the determined category, and one or more attributes of the at least one target database, and executing the at least one custom query on the at least one target database to generate a set of search results.

  • Publication number: 20230229563
    Abstract: A method, apparatus, and computer-readable medium for dynamic substitution of repeating transfer data structures using a linked queue, the method including grouping repeating transfer data structures into a plurality of repeating transfer groups, identifying primary repeating transfers and backup repeating transfers in each repeating transfer group based on a utilization ratio, storing the primary repeating transfers in the plurality of repeating transfer groups in a memory and storing the backup repeating transfers in the plurality of repeating transfer groups in a plurality of backup queues in the memory, detecting failure of a primary repeating transfer in a first repeating transfer group, and in response to detecting failure of the primary repeating transfer, removing the failed primary repeating transfer from the first repeating transfer group and substituting a backup repeating transfer from a first backup queue corresponding to the first repeating transfer group and linked in the memory to the first re

  • Publication number: 20230094097
    Abstract: A method, controller, and computer-readable medium for determining authorized token transfers on a tokenized transfer network including determining network-host parameters corresponding to a network-host of the tokenized transfer network, determining network-client parameters corresponding to a network-client registered with the tokenized transfer network, generating a parameterized model based at least in part on the network-host parameters and the network-client parameters, the parameterized model being generated by integrating the network-host parameters and the network-client parameters into an authorized token transfer generation subroutine, receiving, by the controller, transfer data structures, each transfer data structure identifying a first entity having requirements associated with a transfer to a second entity, the second entity having collection authority to receive the transfer from the first entity, and one or more transfer parameters governing the transfer, and applying the parameterized model

  • Publication number: 20230005076
    Abstract: A method, apparatus, and computer-readable medium for dynamically modeling a current price of an invoice issued by a seller based on real-time monitoring of transaction data on a computer network, including receiving, invoice data corresponding to the invoice issued by the seller, the invoice data comprising a buyer identifier, a seller identifier, and invoice parameters, identifying a buyer profile on an invoice transactions platform on the computer network, the buyer profile comprising a buyer transaction history and the seller profile comprising a seller transaction history, determining a seller overall probability of default based on seller-default variables and dynamic seller-default weights associated with the seller-default variables, determining a buyer overall probability of default, and determining the current price of the invoice based on the seller overall probability of default, the buyer overall probability of default, and the one or more invoice parameters.

  • Publication number: 20220076330
    Abstract: A method, apparatus, and computer-readable medium for generating a real-time risk score associated with financing of an invoice based on real-time transaction data, including storing a seller profile corresponding to a seller that issues invoices, the seller profile including an invoice transaction history, determining a seller internal probability of default corresponding to a target invoice issued by the seller based on the invoice transaction history associated with the seller, determining a seller overall probability of default based on seller-default variables and dynamic seller-default weights associated with the seller-default variables, and generating a real-time risk score associated with a potential funder financing the target invoice based at least in part on the seller overall probability of default.

  • Publication number: 20070244900
    Abstract: An Internet-based search system and method of use. The system in its various embodiments includes an electronic database. The database includes one or more topical categories of information and wherein the categories are further divided into datasets of one or more pre-selected web locations. The invention also includes an Internet remote in communication with the database. The Internet remote includes in its various embodiments, a title bar, one or more advertising windows, a channel selector, a navigation palette, a navigation panel, and an optional set of additional links. In operation, a user selects a channel from the channel selector, which then causes the display of one or more categories in the navigation palette. Upon selection of the desired category, one or more subcategory bars appear in the navigation panel, the selection of which causes the display of one or more links to either a website, or a particular page within a website.

  • Publication number: 20050072177
    Abstract: A cooling device for cooling a cooled surface includes a manifold having a number of inlet slots for directing fluid into an enclosed volume or chamber, toward the cooled surface. The manifold has a number of exit ports for receiving the fluid from the enclosed volume or chamber after it has impinged upon the cooled surface. The inlet slots and exit ports may be rectangular, or may be otherwise elongated, so as to provide substantially spatially uniform heat removal from the cooled surface. The cooling device may be used for a wide variety of applications, for example for cooling small devices such as integrated circuits or other devices involving electronics.
