Abstract: A data weighted averaging (DWA) data word in a standard or normal form unary code format is first converted to a thermometer control word in an alternative or spatial form unary code format. The thermometer control word is then converted from the alternative or spatial form unary code format to output a corresponding binary word.

Abstract: The present disclosure pertains to automatically predicting a slow wave response of a subject to sensory stimulation during a sleep session. The sensory stimulation may be delivered to the subject upon detection of deep NREM sleep. The sensory stimulation may be auditory, haptic, visual, or other stimulation. The system delivers stimulation to the subject in blocks of stimulation separated from one another be intra-block intervals. The blocks are separated from each other by inter-block stimulations. The system compares the stimulated slow wave activity of the subject to the unstimulated slow wave activity of the subject. The system may update the stimulation parameters based on the comparison and deliver a subsequent block stimulation. Once the comparison indicates that the stimulated slow wave activity is significantly different from the unstimulated slow wave activity, the system may apply continuous fixed sensory stimulation to the user according to the most recent stimulation parameters.

The computer can also execute a second machine learning model to predict a timeseries of future transaction sizes and UTXO types for the distributed ledger-based account based on historical transaction data. The computer can select one or more UTXOs to use to complete the transaction of the transaction request. The computer can append a block instance containing an identification of the selected one or more UTXOs to the blockchain to complete the transaction.

Abstract: Systems and methods provide for integrating a wallet client with federated directory services are disclosed herein. By integrating merchant services, such as directory services with a wallet service provider, wallet clients on mobile devices can have access to all merchant listings without having to manually add each directory service. The system disclosed herein integrates Chamber of Commerce directory service listings with the wallet client, such that when a request for a merchant directory service is received from a device associated with the wallet client, the request is forwarded to a federated directory service wallet system interface operated by a Chamber of Commerce site. Supply chain data that matches the request, and location information that is included in the request, is then fetched from the federated directory service wallet system interface and forwarded to the device that sent the request.

Abstract: Methods and systems identify and redact PII. A PII sensitivity detection framework includes multiple layers where each layer corresponds to a model. The framework analyzes data stored within different data tables and predicts whether a data column includes PII. The first layer corresponds to an AI model that analyzes each column metadata and predicts a first score indicative of a first likelihood of PII existence. The second layer corresponds to a rule-based model that uses various rules to determine a second score indicative of a second likelihood of PII existence for each column. The third layer corresponds to a column content model that analyzes content of each column using various natural language processing techniques to generate a third score indicative of a third likelihood of PII existence. The framework masks data presented to a user based on the scores generated via execution of one or more of the layers.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatuses for setting credentials for accounts, or cards associated with accounts, are provided. A queue of credentials may be maintained for facilitating access to at least one account of a user. Credentials in the queue may be automatically generated using information provided by the user without additional input from the user. A deactivation event relating to the account may be detected, in response to which one credential for the account may be deactivated. A new credential from the queue may be activated to facilitate access to the account.

Abstract: The invention relates to a marker device and a tracking system for tracking the marker device, wherein the marker device comprises a rotationally oscillatable magnetic object and wherein the rotational oscillation is excitable by an external magnetic field, i.e. a magnetic field which is generated by a magnetic field providing unit 20, 31 that is located outside of the marker device. The rotational oscillation of the magnetic object induces a current in coils, wherein based on these induced currents the position and optionally also the orientation of the marker device is determined. This wireless kind of tracking can be carried out with relatively small marker devices, which can be placed, for instance, in a guidewire, the marker devices can be read out over a relatively large distance and it is possible to use a single marker device for six degrees of freedom localization.

Abstract: A pervasive advisor for major purchases and other expenditures may detect that a customer is contemplating a major purchase (e.g., through active listening). The advisor may assist the customer with the timing and manner of making the purchase in a way that is financially sensible in view of the customer's financial situation. A customer may be provided with dynamically-updated information in response to recent actions that may affect an approved loan amount and/or interest rate. Underwriting of a loan may be triggered based on the geo-location of the user. Financial advice may be provided to customers to help them meet their goals using information obtained from third party sources, such as purchase options based on particular goals. The pervasive advisor may thus intervene to assist with budgeting, financing, and timing of major expenditures based on the customer's location and on the customer's unique and changing circumstances.
