  • Patent number: 9959560
    Abstract: Transaction data of a first party and transaction data of a population are both analyzed to determine weighting and normalizing factors, which when applied to data operate to prioritize and personalize the data. The prioritization of the data is based on the analysis and results in use of the data in accordance with user preferences as evidenced in prior activities of the first party represented by the transaction data. In a navigation system, applying data prioritizations speeds performance of the system and eliminates duplicate or follow-on searches, and allows efficient selection of potential routes and destinations.

  • Patent number: 9597620
    Abstract: A process, system, and component configuration are described that discourages customer acceptance/use of will-fit, reconditioned, and counterfeit product components, by determining whether or not a serviceable product component is genuine. If a component is determined to not be genuine, then appropriate action may be taken to warn operators and document such findings. For example, one or more markers are disposed or otherwise put on the subject serviceable product component and serves as a targeted feature, and/or a particular characteristic of the filter itself is identified as the targeted feature. A sensor is used to detect the targeted feature and obtain information unique to the serviceable product component. The targeted feature(s) identifies the particular serviceable component as genuine and forms the basis for determining whether a genuine component has been installed. In some circumstances, a fluid filter product is the component that is the subject detection.
