  • Patent number: 11531969
    Abstract: The system and methods described herein provide for managing user datasets by facilitating interactions between users and their advisors following location-based notification of certain triggering events in the user dataset. The geolocation of the user is used to identify nearby advisors who can provide consultation as required by the user. Some embodiments facilitate introductions to a potential user of a set of advisors matched to the user's profile and in response to certain triggering events in the user's dataset.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20050258941
    Abstract: A power supply detection circuit monitors an input voltage and generates a magnitude signal representative of a supply voltage magnitude. Timing signals are generated relative to a transient condition associated with connection to an input voltage. A data store receives timing signals and stores the magnitude signal at a timing interval so that the stored magnitude signal is representative of a predetermined power supply magnitude. The stored magnitude signal is used to automatically configure power protection circuitry and monitoring circuitry.
