Patent number: 10565642Abstract: In some examples, a service provider may manage inventories of items by offering money advances to make inventory orders on behalf of a merchant. The service provider may determine a risk associated with advancing money to the merchant based on sales of items made by the merchant. The service provider may provide a money advance to the merchant when the risk associated with advancing money is within a threshold level. The money advance may be used to order inventory from a supplier. This may assist the merchant in managing inventory.Type: GrantFiled: October 23, 2014Date of Patent: February 18, 2020Assignee: Square, Inc.Inventors: Michael Morrissey Cieri, Adam Jeremy Fern, Ding Zhou, Ariana Poursartip

Patent number: 10229249Abstract: A method and apparatus are disclosed for distributing content items to a handheld device using a personal computer. A user can browse and select content using a personal computer or other computer that may be more readily available or more convenient to use than the handheld device. The personal computer can communicate with a web server which receives the user's request for content to be distributed to the handheld device. The web server can retrieve configuration information pertaining to the handheld device and communicate with a content server to determine whether the user's request for content distribution is valid based on information identifying the handheld device and at least some of the configuration information pertaining to the handheld device. The content server can transmit the requested content item to the handheld device if the user's request is valid and if the handheld device is able to receive the content item.Type: GrantFiled: October 2, 2015Date of Patent: March 12, 2019Assignee: Google LLCInventors: Jonathan Brunsman, David P. Conway, Pierre Delisle, Ficus Kirkpatrick, Paul Montoy-Wilson, Michael Morrissey, Christian Sonntag, Juliana Tsang, Mark Womack, Peisun Wu

Publication number: 20180358166Abstract: Techniques for fabricating low-loss magnetic vias within a magnetic core are provided. According to some embodiments, vias with small, well-defined sizes may be fabricated without reliance on precise alignment of layers. According to some embodiments, a magnetic core including a low-loss magnetic via can be wrapped around conductive coils of an inductor. The low-loss magnetic vias can improve performance of an inductive component by improving the quality factor relative to higher loss magnetic vias.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 8, 2018Publication date: December 13, 2018Applicant: Analog Devices Global Unlimited CompanyInventors: Jan Kubik, Bernard Patrick Stenson, Michael Morrissey

Patent number: 10091306Abstract: A system and method for managing customer premise equipment (CPE) devices. A wake signal is issued to the CPE device. Action parameters are communicated to the CPE device in response to receiving acknowledgement of the wake signal from the CPE device. A management session is established with the CPE device utilizing an address for secure communications in response to the CPE device acknowledging the action parameters. Communications are performed through the management session to perform operation, administration, and maintenance of the CPE device. The management session with the CPE device is terminated.Type: GrantFiled: January 11, 2017Date of Patent: October 2, 2018Assignee: CenturyLink Intellectual Property LLCInventors: Michael Morrissey, Clinton Smoyer, Jade Kerr, Andrew Cook, Kevin McBride
