  • Publication number: 20230351348
    Abstract: A method may include determining a combination of values of attributes represented by reference data associated with payment transaction by training a machine learning model based on an association between (i) respective values of the attributes and (ii) the payment transactions having a given result. The combination may be correlated with having the given result. The method may also include selecting a subset of the payment transactions that is associated with the combination of values. The method may additionally include determining a first rate at which payment transactions of the subset have the given result during a first time period and a second rate at which one or more payment transactions associated with the combination have the given result during a second time period, and generating an indication that the two rates differ.

  • Patent number: 8167371
    Abstract: A seat back assembly (16) for a seat (10), comprising an upper seat back portion (24) for supporting an upper portion of a user's back and a lower seat back portion (22) for supporting a user's pelvis and pelvic region. The lower seat back portion (22) and the upper seat back portion (24) are independently adjustable. The upper seat back portion (24) can be reclined to one of a number of fixed angular positions and it is arranged and configured for dynamic angular movement under a load over a range of positions. The dynamic movement of the upper seat back portion (24) is controlled by a shock absorber (44) having adjustable damping means for providing a required level of tension and rebound in relation to the dynamic back action of the upper seat back portion (24).

  • Publication number: 20070232352
    Abstract: A cellular telephone can be integrated in a base unit, and thereby used in addition to, or in place of a land line. Viewed from another perspective, a cellular phone or other communication device can be integrated with a communication network by at least temporarily coupling it to another cellular phone or communication device that was previously integrated with the communication network. Such a unit may integrate itself when coupled to a previously integrated phone by obtaining a MIN and ESN from the previously integrated phone. Such a unit may also provide access to non-integration information contained in the previously integrated phone, such as data related to contacts, tasks, and appointments.

  • Publication number: 20050085262
    Abstract: A cellular telephone (241A, 241B) can be integrated in a base unit (120), and thereby used in addition to, or in place of a land line (PSTN). Viewed from another perspective, a cellular phone (241A, 241B) or other communication device (110A, 110B) can be integrated with a communication network by at least temporarily coupling it to another cellular phone or communication device that was previously integrated with the communication network (30). Such a unit may integrate itself when coupled to a previously integrated phone by obtaining a MIN and ESN from the previously integrated phone. Such a unit (100) may also provide access to non-integration information contained in the previously integrated phone, such as data related to contacts, tasks, and appointments.

  • Publication number: 20040177101
    Abstract: The present invention provides a hand-held processing devices having a special function input used to input baby feeding data. The hand-held processing device needs no programming by the user to accept baby feeding data. The phrase “special function input” as used herein, means a control pre-programmed (i.e., programmed at some time before sale to the end user) to cause the hand-held processing device to execute a set of instructions to specifically accept user input comprising baby-related data. The phrase “baby-related data” means any information regarding a parameter measured for a baby that may be recorded, including feeding data, diaper data, sleeping data, temperament data, temperature data, medicine data, and water or other non-milk fluid data, emergency contact data, allergy data, and schedule or appointment data.
