Patent number: 12641064Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems and methods for secure, compliant, context-driven electronic communications using an agentic AI platform. Within a server, modular AI bot components are dynamically instantiated, sequenced, and deallocated by a bot orchestration engine in response to workflow context extracted from inbound communication data. Computer-executable instructions stored in memory implement a multi-stage privacy pipeline including REGEX matching, NER, and locally retrainable SLMs language models to redact PII and other sensitive identifiers prior to further processing. The architecture incorporates parallel processing routines for privacy enforcement, context extraction, compliance evaluation, and agentic bot management. Composite prompts generated from bot outputs are supplied to downstream LLMs for draft creation.Type: GrantFiled: December 4, 2025Date of Patent: May 26, 2026Assignee: HAMACHI.AI, INC.Inventors: Michael Wilson, Eric Clarke, Brian McLaughlin, Mustapha Baassiri

Patent number: 12608410Abstract: A device and method to improve the automation for answering questions in multiple computer forms is described herein. For example, an electronic questionnaire form seeking information from an institutional asset manager in a questionnaire format may require the asset manager to answer the same question for multiple potential clients. The tool described herein stores previous questions and answers, and provides the answer to a question if a near-exact question has previously been asked. If a similar question has been previously asked the tool identifies the closest answers, and then uses a large language model to combine the previous answers into a new answer. The tool may parse a questionnaire into questions and then use the cosine similarity score to determine the closeness of the question to previously answered questions.Type: GrantFiled: December 6, 2024Date of Patent: April 21, 2026Assignee: S2 Strategy, LLCInventors: Alex Firestone, Brendan Corr, Brian Stone, Brian McLaughlin

Patent number: 11995563Abstract: A unique implementation of a machine learning application for suggesting actions for a user to undertake is described herein. The application transforms a history of user behavior into a set of models that represent user actions given a set of parameters. These models are then used to suggest that users in a payments or banking environment take certain actions based on their history. The models are created using the DensiCube, random forest or k-means algorithms.Type: GrantFiled: August 18, 2022Date of Patent: May 28, 2024Assignee: Bottomline Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Norman DeLuca, Brian McLaughlin, Fred Ramberg, David Sander

Patent number: 9624000Abstract: A portable article holding device for catching articles which may fall from a user's hands towards the floor when a user is sitting in a chair, such as a high chair. The device has an open top, and includes a pair of front receptacles configured for operably expanding and contracting into one another, and a pair of arm receptacles, each of which can be operably expanded and contracted into an associated front receptacle. When thus configured, the device can adjustably deploy to create a full receptacle perimeter around users having variable body shapes and sizes. In an example embodiment, the device further includes a pair of arm receptacle subsets which expand and contract to further vary the width of each arm receptacle. When in a retracted position, the device can further include a selectively removable cover sized to close the open top of the device.Type: GrantFiled: February 16, 2016Date of Patent: April 18, 2017Inventors: Sonya McLaughlin, Brian McLaughlin
