Abstract: Systems and techniques are provided for monitoring and managing the performance of services accessed by sites on a computing platform. When a performance issue is identified, a service is monitored to determine if calls to the service exceed a threshold completion time. If so, a resource available to call the service is adaptively throttled by the platform.

Abstract: In one embodiment, this invention analyzes demographic data that is associated with a specific street address when presented as an address change on an existing account or an address included on a new account application when that address is different from the reference address (e.g., a credit bureau type header data). The old or reference address and the new address, the new account application address or fulfillment address demographic attributes are gathered, analyzed, compared for divergence and scaled to reflect the relative fraud risk.

Abstract: A dual roll paper towel dispenser, a method of dispensing towel from a dual roll paper towel dispenser, and a method of servicing a dual roll paper towel dispenser are disclosed herein. The dual roll paper towel dispenser can be provided with a dispenser mechanism disposed in a dispenser housing. The dispenser mechanism can include a first drive roller for dispensing paper from an upper first roll of paper and a second drive roller for dispensing paper from a lower second roll of paper. The dispenser mechanism can further include a drive system including a motor for selectively operating the first drive roller and the second drive roller, wherein the drive system powers the motor in a first rotational direction to actuate the first drive roller and powers the motor in a second rotational direction opposite the first rotational direction to actuate the second drive roller.

Abstract: Systems and methods for analyzing a plurality of data records to provide a comprehensive understanding of the data. For example, one or more public or private databases may be searched based on a user's search term(s). The results from the search may be analyzed to determine values, categories, core trends, concepts, and/or clusters present within the search results. The search results may be grouped or organized based on the values, categories, core trends, clusters, and/or concepts, and may be presented to a user via a user interface. Additionally, systems and methods of the present disclosure relate to analyzing public or private company data, and tracking or monitoring the data over time to provide real time analysis. For example, customer reviews, complaints, social media posts, or other data related to a company or product may be analyzed to determine values, categories, core trends, concepts, and/or clusters.

Abstract: A method, computer program product, and computer system for matching, at a computing device, one or more parameters of test data to one or more rules. A location of a data store is selected to store results of the test data, wherein the location is selected based upon, at least in part, the one or more rules matched to the one or more parameters of the test data. The results of the test data is separated from results of production data by storing the results of the test data at the location of the data store selected based upon, at least in part, the one or more rules matched to the one or more parameters of the test data.

Abstract: A method, system and computer program product for handling an increase in transactional data load without requiring the relocation of preexisting data. A range of attribute values and identifications of associated shards are stored in a data structure. In response to adding a new shard, the data structure is updated by associating a range of attribute values to the added shard while maintaining the same range of attribute values being associated with one of the pre-existing shards. As a result, the new data assigned within this range of attribute values will be stored in the newly added shard while the older data assigned within this range of attribute values will continue to be stored in one of the preexisting shards. In this manner, an increase in transactional data load can be handled by adding a new shard without requiring the relocation of preexisting data.
