  • Patent number: 9367520
    Abstract: Data is received that characterizes a transaction and includes a plurality of values corresponding to variables. Thereafter, a score is determined for the transaction based on the received data and using a scoring model. The scoring model only uses variables pairs having a divergence residual above a pre-defined threshold. Thereafter, data is provided that characterizes the determined score. Related apparatus, systems, techniques and computer program products are also described.

  • Patent number: 7757271
    Abstract: A security service of computer networks having a policy builder, an LDAP-compliant database, a validator and an API. The policy builder component provides a graphical user interface to be used by a policy manager to define access policies for users seeking to access network services and resources. The graphical user interface has a grid of nodes representing access policies. The grid is arranged to correspond to a defined tree structure representing services and resources and a business relationship tree structure representing users. The graphical user interface permits the policy manager to define policy builder plug-ins for access policy customization. The LDAP-compliant database maintains the policy builder plug-ins. The validator component receives requests from users and queries the LDAP-compliant database to obtain relevant access policies as defined by the policy manager.

  • Publication number: 20070015231
    Abstract: The invention relates in part to screening assays for identifying agents that alter the interaction between a protein tyrosine phosphatase (PTP) and its tyrosine phosphorylated polypeptide substrate, using fluorescence energy signals generated by detectably labeled substrates. Assays are provided in certain embodiments, including high throughput screening assays, wherein candidate agents are screened by fluorescence polarization for their ability to influence (i) binding of substrate trapping mutant PTPs to substrates, or (ii) dephosphorylation of tyrosine phosphorylated substrates by PTPs.
