Publication number: 20210390541Abstract: A social transaction management system may include an event transaction object, a personal transaction unit and a mobile application engine. The event transaction object is configured to track transactions of multiple users across multiple events, wherein the tracked transactions have defined transaction parameters. The personal transaction unit is communicatively coupled to at least one event transaction object and configured to determine an accounting of total transactions for each user per event based on associated event transaction object(s). The mobile application engine is communicatively coupled to the event transaction object(s) to create a communication portal between multiple users across multiple events. The system may create a transaction entry, transmit the transaction entry to a user device, receive an acknowledgement responsive to the notification from the user device and update the status of the transaction entry on both the receiving and sending user devices.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 10, 2019Publication date: December 16, 2021Inventors: Sajeed Ahmed, Mohammed Moinuddin

Patent number: 9098859Abstract: An achievement system tracks users' offline activities and awards achievements to users for participation in particular offline activities. The achievements that are awarded for particular activities and/or to particular users may be sponsored by merchants, who may compensate an achievement system provider for the opportunity to sponsor the achievements. To award users achievements, the users' offline activities are tracked. When a user participates in an offline activity for which achievements are available, the user is awarded an achievement. The achievement may be stored in an achievement profile for the user. In some embodiments, achievements earned by users may be converted into other benefits and alternative awards.Type: GrantFiled: April 27, 2011Date of Patent: August 4, 2015Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Mohammed Moinuddin, Joseph Futty, Matthew Graham Dyor, Dan E.

Publication number: 20080162362Abstract: Client computer systems can add authenticity to electronic payment requests through use of software license keys. In one implementation, for example, a payment request originating from a requestor (e.g., client computer system, point of sale terminal) sends one or more license key identifiers to a payment validating entity along with the payment details of the requested transaction. In addition to reviewing the payment transaction request and payment details for fraud, one or more payment validating entities can also review the one or more license key identifiers to determine if the request originates from as client computer system using valid software, or using potentially invalid or otherwise pirated software. In one implementation, the payment validating entities can deny a transaction originating from software from which validity cannot be determined. The payment validating entities can also, or alternatively, store information about the requestor for subsequent reporting purposes.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 28, 2006Publication date: July 3, 2008Applicant: MICROSOFT CORPORATIONInventor: Mohammed Moinuddin

Patent number: 4130383Abstract: A pressure plate provides a trapped pressure relief groove oriented along the line of action of mating gears in a gear pump. The groove communicates the fluid trapped between the gear teeth with both the inlet and outlet, thereby reducing high squeezed pressures and lowering hydraulic noise levels. Noise suppression is apparent at all speeds, and is particularly apparent at high pump operating speeds.Type: GrantFiled: June 23, 1977Date of Patent: December 19, 1978Assignee: Borg-Warner CorporationInventor: Mohammed Moinuddin
