Patent number: 11962826Abstract: An authenticating system and process for authenticating user devices to a access a service where access to certain portions of the service may be limited according to a access point or other device used by a user device to facilitate interfacing a user with the service. The authentication may be achieved without directly assessing a trustworthiness of the user devices, and optionally, without requiring a user thereof to complete a sign-on operation.Type: GrantFiled: November 29, 2021Date of Patent: April 16, 2024Assignee: Cable Television Laboratories, Inc.Inventors: Seetharama R. Durbha, Oscar Marcia, Stuart Hoggan, Simon Krauss

Publication number: 20220335453Abstract: Systems and methods for dynamically determining an optimal baseline algorithm for calculating lift values are disclosed. The system receives data associated with a control strategy, and then randomly selects a control location, a time period, and an item that may not be associated with the control strategy but meets the one or more criteria of the control strategy such as relevance and sales volume. Using the randomly selected inputs and a plurality of null baselines values determined by a plurality of null baseline algorithms, the system iteratively calculates a plurality of null lift values for each of the applied plurality of null baselines values to determine a likelihood for a false positive lift for each of the applied plurality of null baselines values. An optimal baseline algorithm is selected from the plurality of null baselines algorithms based on their corresponding likelihood of false positive lifts.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 5, 2022Publication date: October 20, 2022Applicant: Mastercard International IncorporatedInventors: Ameya Pathare, Brian Pujanauski, Simon Krauss, Jenna Kanterman, Cornelius Kaestner, Christopher Piccoli

Publication number: 20190012666Abstract: A system is provided for monitoring the status of a consumable good transferred from a first consumer to a second consumer. The system includes a first consumer device capable of acquiring an identifier from the consumable good, a storage subsystem configured to store one or more encrypted data files, an electronic network configured to transmit the acquired identifier from the first consumer device to the storage subsystem, and a second consumer device capable of acquiring the identifier from the consumable good and transmitting the acquired identifier to the storage subsystem. The storage subsystem is further configured to (i) store the acquired identifier from the first consumer device in a first encrypted data file (ii) store the acquired identifier from the second consumer device in a second encrypted data file, and (iii) delete or move the first encrypted data file upon creation of the second encrypted data file.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 17, 2018Publication date: January 10, 2019Inventors: Simon Krauss, Brionna Juarez Lopez, Steven J. Goeringer, Brian A. Scriber
