Abstract: An improved unloader valve assembly for a high-speed reciprocating compressor includes improved poppets and valve seat designs. The improved poppets and valve seats are useful for reducing or eliminating poppet leakage and high impact stresses on the sealing surfaces of the poppets, and are especially intended for use with high-speed reciprocating compressors operating at 1000 rpm and higher. A control chamber spacer plate for creating a control pressure chamber within the unloader valve assembly, and a valve seat cushioning plate for reducing stress on the head ends of the poppets are also described.

Abstract: A system and method for detecting fraudulent transactions of incremental transactions via incrementally training classifiers on a number of data subsets to obtain transaction label predictions. Recent information on fraudulent transactions is implemented to update the classifiers, thereby eliminating the problems of concept drift and verification latency. Some of the incremental transactions may be labeled as fraudulent according to the incrementally modified classifiers and thereby rejected.

Abstract: A method for processing an electronic bill payment with a user-specific electronic device in operative communication with a digital wallet bill management system running on centralized processors in operative communication with databases and in networked communication with digital wallet applications, computerized billing systems and payment gateways. The user-specific electronic device has a digital wallet application that stores funding and biller e-cards associated with funding and billing accounts for a customer's financial institutions and billers, respectively. The user-specific electronic device includes a web browser application connecting the e-cards to the digital wallet bill management system depending on a selected payment option for a biller's digital bill received in the digital wallet.

Abstract: A system and computer-implemented method for storing data and for calculating data characteristics. A concentric ring buffer has a succession of representative ring buffers, each divided into segments and reflecting an increasingly long unit of a base (e.g., a time, count, or geo base) and with a decreasing level of precision. The concentric ring buffer has a fixed total memory size based on the number of ring buffers and segments. Each segment of each ring buffer is populated in a first-in-first-out manner with a value calculated for the data characteristic for a particular length of base unit and with a particular precision. When a ring buffer is full and another value is calculated, the oldest value is transferred to a next ring buffer or deleted if there is none. Further, values can be collected from multiple concentric ring buffers and consolidated in a single concentric ring buffer.

Abstract: A system and computer-implemented method for selecting an optimal payment instrument for a particular purchaser and a particular purchase. Information for several payment instruments, selection preferences provided by the purchaser, and any additional selection information are stored in a database. Artificial intelligence selects the optimal payment instrument based on the selection preferences and the additional selection information. The preferences may be weighted to reflect a level of importance to the purchaser, and may include incentive information about, e.g., reward points, reward miles, or cash back. The additional information may include usage limitations. The selected instrument is verified with an associated payment service, a request for payment using the selected instrument is submitted, and actual payment is verified. Details of the particular purchase and of the selection of the instrument may be stored for future reference.

Abstract: A pulsation attenuation network branching device or transition apparatus for controlling pulsation of a fluid in a piping system includes at least one large flow channel, at least two small flow channels, and at least one divider that transitions the large flow channel into the small flow channels internally. Fluid can flow through the device in either direction. One embodiment of the branching device can include a main inlet and a main outlet, an internal attenuating conduit, a branching outlet, and a branching inlet, a first divider for dividing the fluid flow from the main inlet into the internal attenuating conduit and the branching outlet, and a second divider for joining the fluid flowing from the branching inlet and the internal attenuating conduit into the main outlet. Another embodiment can include a main inlet, three branching outlets, and two dividers for transitioning the main inlet into the three branching outlets.

Abstract: A segmented optical node exploits a configuration module having arrayed all elements to go from a 1×4 to a 4×4 configuration, save optional redundant switches. A jumper board in the 1×, 2× path configures the node for 1×4 in one orientation and for 2×4 when flipped around 180 degrees. The 4×4 configuration is achieved by rotating the configuration module 90 degrees. In this orientation power to the module is also off, since the 4× configuration is passive.

Abstract: A compact automatic gain control module for an RF amplifier includes a microchip Tuner for detection of pilot signals in an incoming RF signal. By selectively tuning into pilot signals in response to command from an on-board microprocessor, the module is frequency agile in the selection of pilot signals, selecting specifically advantageous signals for use as a pilot. Use of a microprocessor also enables specific advantages in receiving firmware upgrades to incorporate algorithms for operation parameter monitoring and adjustment of response in accord with monitored parameters. Such monitoring also enables the recording of on-module events that enable storage of a log to enable maintenance and performance enhancement within the module.
