  • Patent number: 12182177
    Abstract: Methods and systems are described herein for improving data processing efficiency of classifying user files in a database. More particularly, methods and systems are described herein for improving data processing efficiency of classifying user files in a database in which the user files have a temporal element. The methods and system described herein accomplish these improvements by introducing time dependency into time-homogeneous probability models. Once time dependency has been introduced into the time-homogeneous probability models, these models may be used to improve the data processing efficiency of classifying the user files that feature a temporal element.

  • Patent number: 12182821
    Abstract: A system and method for improving the security of financial transactions is disclosed. The system and method include an account management tool where customers (or account holders) can manage financial control settings, which include controls to set limits on the frequency of financial transactions and/or maximum transaction amounts. Based on these user-selected control settings, a financial account provider can deny transactions that exceed limits determined from the financial control settings. The system and method include a setting for geographic location, so that a user may build a customized list of geographic regions where transactions are allowed or prohibited. The system and method also include a setting for companies or merchants, so that a user may build a customized list of companies or merchants where transactions are allowed or prohibited.

  • Patent number: 12183202
    Abstract: A parking availability predictor system provides a prediction of parking availability that meets a user's specified needs. When the user submits a query for parking availability, he can include desired parking criteria such as location, handicapped status, and desired time to begin parking. The system consults a parking occupancy model which gathers current and historical information about parking occupancy, including parking durations and durations of vacancies between occupancies. The model processes the gathered information into a statistical predictor of parking occupancy and vacancy. The system uses the predictor to predict when parking that meets the user's needs will become available. That prediction, including user-suitable parking locations along with the expected start of their vacancies, is then sent to the user in answer to his query.

  • Patent number: 12178245
    Abstract: Apparatus and methods are described for use with a portion of plant material that includes at least one active ingredient. A vaporizing unit includes a heating element configured to heat the plant material, and a sensor configured to detect an indication of airflow rate through the vaporizing unit. Control circuitry is configured to receive an indication of the airflow rate through the vaporizing unit, and, in response thereto, to determine a smoking profile that is desired by the user. The control circuitry drives the heating element to vaporize the active ingredient of the plant material by heating the plant material according to the determined smoking profile. The control circuitry dynamically updates the smoking profile in response to changes in airflow rate over the course of a smoking session. Other applications are also described.

  • Patent number: 12182304
    Abstract: Systems and methods for privatized presentation of private data are provided. In certain embodiments, private data contained within received electronic data is identified. Based at least in part upon the identified private data, a determination is made as to whether privatized presentation of the private data should be performed. When the privatized presentation should be performed, a primary electronic device response including non-private data of the electronic data and an indication of a location of the private data in the electronic data is generated. The primary electronic device response is provided to a primary electronic device. The indication of the location of the private data is used to instruct the primary electronic device to refrain from presenting the private data. Instead, the private data is presented to a secondary electronic device tasked with presenting the private data in lieu of the primary electronic device.

  • Publication number: 20240428338
    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.
