Abstract: Techniques are described for determining account features based on a risk assessment. A first set of account features may be determined, including security feature(s) such as mode(s) for authenticating and/or verifying the identity of a user associated with account(s). Based on the first set of features, a risk metric may be determined for the account(s). The risk metric may indicate a risk that fraud may be committed against the account or using the account. Based on the determined risk metric, a second set of account features may be determined for the account(s). The first and second sets of account feature(s) may be applied to the account(s). Disabling a particular feature may cause a reevaluation of the risk metric and a redetermination of the feature sets to be applied to the account(s).

Abstract: A method of using shielded straps with RFID tag designs is disclosed. Specifically, the RFID device, in one embodiment, comprises a bridge conductor which couples the antenna and pair of strap pads together. Thus, the coupling between the bridge conductor and the strap conductor, the coupling between the bridge conductor and the antenna conductor, and the coupling between the antenna conductor and the strap conductor increases the total capacitance of the RFID strap device. Further, the presence of the bridge conductor also reduces the area occupied for a given inductance, and provides a higher effective capacitance when the bridge strap is connected to the antenna.

Abstract: A system and method for monitoring parking enforcement officer performance with the aid of a digital computer is provided. A time-based active representational model of the city is created by fusing sensory data collected from various sources around a city with numerical data gleaned from historical and on-going activities, including parking regulation citation and warning numbers, resource allocations, and so on. The model can be used to form quantitative predictions of expected violations, revenue stream, and so forth, that can then be used as recommendations as to where to enforce and when, so as to maximize the utilization of the limited resources represented by the officers on the street. Moreover, the performance of the officers can be weighed against expectations of performance postulated from the quantitative predictions.
