  • Patent number: 8204840
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a system and method is illustrated as including generating a model using at least one of a global conduct score and attribute data. A range of numeric values may be retrieved, based upon which, a better term is granted in a transaction than would otherwise be granted in the transaction. A comparison may be made between the model and the range of numeric values. Further, a better term may be granted in the transaction where the model falls within the range of numeric values. The global conduct score is computed using an approach including at least one of a feed score approach, and a composite score approach. The attribute data includes page view data, click through data, account usage data, and good purchased data. The model includes a global conduct score model, a weighting model, an AI based model, and an associated network based model.

  • Patent number: 8166357
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for implementing integrated circuit security features are provided to selectively disable testability features on an integrated circuit chip. A test disable logic circuit receives a test enable signal and responsive to the test enable signal set for a test mode, establishes a test mode and disables ASIC signals. Responsive to the test enable signal not being set, the ASIC signals are enabled for a functional mode and the testability features on the integrated circuit chip are disabled. When the functional mode is enabled, the test disable logic circuit prevents the test mode from being established while the integrated circuit chip is powered up.

  • Patent number: 8132719
    Abstract: A prepaid payment device is used to by a consumer as a ticket to a future performance event as well as to conduct a transaction with a merchant. The consumer operates a user interface of a kiosk to select admission to the future performance event and a monetary amount to be added thereto. Payment is submitted to the kiosk for both the admission price and the monetary amount. The prepaid payment device is associated with an account that is credited with the payment. Stored on the prepaid payment device is information which includes the associated account and authorization for admission to the selected future performance event. The payment credited to the account can be for both the transaction with the merchant offering admission to the future performance event and also for an additional transaction with another merchant who may be at the venue of the future performance event.

  • Publication number: 20110301055
    Abstract: Methods for determining a prognosis in multiple myeloma are disclosed, and in particular to methods that are capable of identifying patients with a poor prognosis and/or for determining the likelihood of a patient responding to a particular treatment. The methods identify myeloma samples having homozygous deletions in cell death genes, with dysregulated expression of 97 cell death genes forming a cell death expression signature, which is associated with poor prognosis in multiple myeloma. In a preferred aspect, three gene pairs, were found to provide a prognostic a “six gene signature” based on BUB1B and HDAC3; CDC2 and FIS1; and RAD21 and ITM2B (high expressors and low expressors respectively).
