Abstract: Systems and methods for converting unstructured text messages into usable order details. Component parts corresponding to structure and quote data indicative of a transaction are parsed from unstructured text messages. The parsing includes matching character strings in the messages with a hierarchy of expressions and identifying the component parts based on the matching and a transaction deal status. The unstructured text messages are displayed in a first window of a graphical user interface (GUI) in real-time including automatically highlighting the identified component parts of the messages and displaying a selectable web link configured to launch a web interface. The identified component parts are displayed in a second window of the GUI in a normalized format in real-time. An editable order ticket comprising the component parts is created upon selection of the selectable web link in the first window and displayed in a newly launched web interface.

Abstract: A set of resource requests that each includes authorization-supporting data for receiving a requested resource can be received. For each request, augmenting data associated with part of the data is retrieved, and it is determined whether access is authorized based on the augmenting data and the authorization-supporting data. A machine-learning model is trained using representations of the set of resource requests and the authorization determinations. Additional requests are processed by the trained model to generate corresponding authorization outputs. One or more identifiers to flag for inhibition of resource access are determined based on the authorization outputs. Upon detecting that a new resource request to access a particular resource includes an identifier of the one or more identifiers, a new authorization output is generated to inhibit access to the particular resource.

Abstract: The data transformation method operates discrete input data sources DF-in each having df-in data fields carrying to-be-converted data (tbc-data). Initial steps identify tbc-data field and characteristics; output discrete output (df-out) with predefined df-out data fields for converted data (conv-data); and maps or look-up tables for relationships between df-in data fields and df-out data fields. Process activates: SFTP App in the presence df-in and transfers df-in to unstructured data blob; and App copying the df-in from blob to file share archive; first orchestrating sequence App to validate df-in data based upon conversion rules. If INVALID, App generates error entry. If VALID, App converts tbc-data into conv-data with conversion rules and mapping orchestrating App populates df-out data fields with conv-data resulting converted df-out in the blob. A second orchestrating App transfers converted df-out to destination store.

Abstract: A method for fetching a content from a web server to a client device is disclosed, using tunnel devices serving as intermediate devices. The tunnel device is selected based on an attribute, such as IP Geolocation. A tunnel bank server stores a list of available tunnels that may be used, associated with values of various attribute types. The tunnel devices initiate communication with the tunnel bank server, and stays connected to it, for allowing a communication session initiated by the tunnel bank server. Upon receiving a request from a client to a content and for specific attribute types and values, a tunnel is selected by the tunnel bank server, and is used as a tunnel for retrieving the required content from the web server, using standard protocol such as SOCKS, WebSocket or HTTP Proxy. The client only communicates with a super proxy server that manages the content fetching scheme.

Abstract: An identity profile of a user is tracked using previous message communications of the user. A message identified as potentially from the user is received. The identity profile of the user is identified and obtained. Information is extracted from a header of the received message. A security risk assessment of the received message is determined at least in part by comparing the extracted information with one or more corresponding entries of the identity profile of the user. A security action is performed based on the determined security risk assessment.

Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed for determining valuation and risk analysis of municipal debt instruments on an after-tax basis. In one embodiment, bond terms, yield curve and interest rate volatility data are received for a set of bonds. Additionally, IRS treatment data and applicable tax rates for the set of bonds and a purchaser of the bonds are also received. Theoretical tax-neutral values of the bonds are calculated using a buy-and-hold methodology, wherein the tax-neutral value comprises the price of the at least one municipal debt offering such that its discounted after-tax value equals the price. A theoretical maximum after-tax values of the bonds are also calculated using a recursive valuation path-dependent methodology. Optimal bond management is determined using the calculated theoretical tax-neutral values and maximum after-tax values of the bonds.

Abstract: A system designed for increasing network communication speed for users, while lowering network congestion for content owners and ISPs. The system employs network elements including an acceleration server, clients, agents, and peers, where communication requests generated by applications are intercepted by the client on the same machine. The IP address of the server in the communication request is transmitted to the acceleration server, which provides a list of agents to use for this IP address. The communication request is sent to the agents. One or more of the agents respond with a list of peers that have previously seen some or all of the content which is the response to this request (after checking whether this data is still valid).

Abstract: A method for seamlessly and automatically granting tailored permission for use and transference of Internet data between databases with comprehensive consent is described. The method employs a graph language such as JSON-LD to integrate and employ cryptographically signed Information Sharing Agreements (ISA) between parties. Data is serialized to be easily transferred between databases when appropriate permission is obtained. Granular data exchange under usage control contacts can be automated among any number of parties on the Internet. As such, the method provides a means by which users may control not only what may be done with their data, but to what entity or entities the data may be transferred. Advertisements may then be served to the user according to his or her preferences as defined within a web or desktop app, which is then applied to all related ad publishers publishing to the domains visited by the user.
