  • Publication number: 20200090102
    Abstract: A method, computer program product, and computer system for preloading, on a first computing device, data associated with a client. An authorization process is executed, via the first computing device, between the first computing device and the second computing device. A first dashboard is generated on the second computing device. The first dashboard including the data associated with the client.

  • Publication number: 20190354998
    Abstract: A method, computer program product, and computer system for receiving, via a computing device, transaction data associated with a plurality of distinct point-of-sale systems. The transaction data from the plurality of distinct point-of-sale systems may be mapped to a standardized hierarchy of components. The standardized hierarchy of components, including aggregated mapped transaction data, may be shared.

  • Patent number: 9344193
    Abstract: A method and system for generating an optical channel signal for transmission through an optical fiber link of an optical communications system. A digital filter processes an input data signal using a compensation function and a shaping function to generate a pair of multi-bit sample streams representing a target optical E-field envelope of the optical channel signal. A modulator modulates an optical carrier light using the pair of multi-bit sample streams to generate the optical channel signal. The compensation function is designed to at least partially compensate impairments of the optical fiber link. The predetermined shaping function is designed to modify a baseband spectrum of the target optical E-field envelope.

  • Patent number: 6556676
    Abstract: The invention provides an adapter card for use with a computing apparatus executing in a multitasking environment program elements that implement call-related functional units requiring DSP (Digital Signal Processor) resources. In a specific example, the call-related functional units provide voice recognition services, IP (Internet Protocol) telephony and voice message, among others. The adapter card includes a switch that receives voice signals from one or more telephone lines physically connected to the adapter card. A digital signal processor is provided on the adapter card and can receive an audio signal from the switch for processing. When anyone of the call-related functional units needs access to the resources of the DSP, it issues a control signal to the switch that responds by directing the audio signal that is to be processed by the call-related functional unit to the digital signal processor.
