Abstract: A device receives and processes current, forecasted, and historical entity information, associated with an entity, to generate processed information. The device calculates an operating enterprise value for the entity based on the processed information and bifurcates the operating enterprise value into a current value associated with current operations of the entity and a future value associated with investments of the entity. The device determines a growth rate based on the current value and the future value, and processes the current value, the future value, and the growth rate, with a first model, to determine underlying drivers of total returns for stakeholders associated with the entity. The device processes the underlying drivers of total returns for stakeholders and revenue, costs, assets, and liabilities associated with the entity, with a second model, to identify analytics data for the entity, and performs actions based on the analytics data identified for the entity.

Abstract: A case for a portable electronic device comprises a solid portion bonded to a pliable layer. The solid portion comprises a solid inner surface, a solid outer surface, and a solid edge. The pliable layer comprises a pliable inner surface, a pliable outer surface, and a pliable edge. The pliable layer is positioned over the solid portion so that the pliable edge and solid edge are aligned. A dye covers the pliable edge and the solid edge. The pliable layer comprises decoration.

Abstract: A case for a portable electronic device holds an accessory of the portable electronic device, and the accessory can be easily accessed. The case comprises a container, an accessory band, and a fastener. The accessory band comprises a first fixed end and a first free end. The first fixed end is attached to the container. The fastener comprises a first fastener portion and a second fastener portion. The first fastener portion is attached to the first free end of the accessory band while the second fastener portion is attached to the container.

Abstract: An apparatus, such as a subscriber unit or a base station within a spread spectrum communication system, may add one or more additional “virtual” paths to a list of candidate paths when assigning demodulation elements. These “virtual” paths are added as candidate paths even though a corresponding peak was not necessarily detected within a received spread spectrum system. The list of paths may include a first path having a time offset approximately equal to a time offset for one of the demodulation elements, and the virtual path having a short time separation from the first path. The time separation between the paths may be, for example, less than 2 chips.
