  • Patent number: 11469878
    Abstract: The disclosed exemplary embodiments include computer-implemented systems, apparatuses, and processes that perform homomorphic computations on encrypted third-party data within a distributed computing environment. For example, an apparatus receives a homomorphic public key and encrypted transaction data characterizing an exchange of data from a computing system, and encrypts modelling data associated with a first predictive model using the homomorphic public key. The apparatus may perform homomorphic computations that apply the first predictive model to the encrypted transaction data in accordance with the encrypted first modelling data, and transmit an encrypted first output of the homomorphic computations to the computing system, which may decrypt the encrypted first output using a homomorphic private key and generate decrypted output data indicative of a predicted likelihood that the data exchange represents fraudulent activity.

  • Publication number: 20100250383
    Abstract: A method for making a digital file available to a user at a client device. The method includes receiving the digital file at the client device, the client device having an associated client identifier, receiving a host identifier at the client device, the host identifier associated with the digital file and receiving a host payment identifier at the client device, the host payment identifier associated with the digital file and the host identifier. A product identifier is obtained from the digital file. A cost associated with the digital file is determined. Payment is obtained corresponding to the determined cost. The digital file is made available to a user at the client device.

  • Publication number: 20090248557
    Abstract: A method and system of aggregating consumer business data such as transactions between a consumer and a pluralityy of vendors. The method includes receiving a request from a consumer to maintain consumer business data in a data warehouse. An electronic receipt is received from a vendor following conclusion of a transaction between the consumer and the vendor. A report is generated at the request of the consumer. The report is provided to the consumer.

  • Publication number: 20090209002
    Abstract: Plasmodesmal resident components are identified, characterized and isolated. Compositions comprising these components are described and methods of use thereof for plasmodesmal flux modulation and targeting are enabled. In a first embodiment, a novel plasmodesmal receptor-like protein, referred to herein as pldp1, reveals signals sufficient for targeting to plasmodesmata via the secretory pathway. In the second embodiment a novel plasmodesmal protein that is anchor into the external face of the plasma membrane and binds to callose is provided.

  • Publication number: 20030035014
    Abstract: A reverse printed label printed using ink jet or other relatively non-durable printing technology. Indicia is printed to the backside of a transparent material upon a coating of adhesive used to adhere the finished label to an object or surface. When applied to an object or surface, the finished label is readable through the transparent surface which acts as an overlaminate.
