  • Publication number: 20240095817
    Abstract: One variation of a method for refinancing arbitrage structured product investments comprising: receiving selection of a tranche—associated with an initial interest margin and containing an outstanding debt quantity—within a structured product investment by an initiator; assigning a target interest margin, less than the initial interest margin, to the tranche; initiating an online public auction for the outstanding debt quantity; during the online public auction, recording a set of bids submitted by a set of investors, each bid in the set specifying a debt quantity at the target interest margin; calculating a sum of debt quantities, at the target interest margin, specified in the set of bids; and, in response to the sum of debt quantities clearing the outstanding debt quantity upon conclusion of the online public auction, initiating settlement and redistribution of the outstanding debt quantity in the tranche according to the set of bids.

  • Publication number: 20230237909
    Abstract: A cooperative intelligent traffic system is provided for use between bicycles, motorcycles, and other vehicles. Sensor data from mobile devices and other sensor devices associated with the vehicle can be sent to an edge network computing device (e.g., a multi-access edge computing device) and be processed at the edge network to identify threats and hazards, and then transmit the threat assessment data to other bicycles, motorcycles, and vehicles nearby. The threat assessment data can be used by the operators of the other vehicles to warn them of upcoming threats, hazards, road conditions, and other pertinent conditions.

  • Patent number: 10448195
    Abstract: The disclosed subject matter provides for traffic analysis employing timed fingerprint location information. In an aspect, TFL information can be associated with location characteristics for a UE. These location characteristics can describe the motion of the UE. As such, with proper analysis, the motion of the UE can be correlated to traffic patterns. Transportation analytics can employ TFL information to provide real time or near real time traffic information, forecast traffic conditions, or automate response to traffic conditions based on TFL information. Whereas TFL can provide advantages over other types of location information systems, leveraging TFL information in traffic analysis can reflect these advantages. Further, whereas TFL information can be gathered from nearly all modern and many legacy mobile devices, large volumes of TFL information can be employed in related transportation analytics.

  • Patent number: 10187334
    Abstract: The invention provides a method of transmitting electronic messages in a computer environment. The preferred embodiment receives an electronic message addressed to a telephone number and determines an instant message identifier associated with the telephone number. In response to the determination that an instant message identifier associates with the telephone number, it is further determined whether an instant message receiver is available to receive messages addressed to the instant message identifier. In response to a determination that an instant message receiver is available to receive instant messages addressed to the instant message identifier, the electronic message is forwarded as an instant message addressed to the instant message identifier. In response to a determination that no instant message receiver is available to receive instant messages addressed to the instant message identifier, the electronic message is sent to a mobile device at the telephone number.

  • Patent number: 9469622
    Abstract: A process for manufacturing tetrahydrofuran, tetrahydropyran and, more generally, cycloether derivatives through the cyclodehydration of 1,4- or 1,5-diols. More specifically, the process of the invention involves (i) the stereoselective cyclodehydration in water of 1,4- or 1,5-diols including at least one chiral tertiary alcohol functional group with retention of the initial chirality, and/or (ii) the cyclodehydration in water of 1,4- or 1,5-diols, said diols being non-miscible with and/or non-soluble in water, into corresponding cycloether derivatives, by bringing the reaction mixture to high temperature water (HTW) conditions and/or by mixing the aqueous reaction mixture with a solid catalyst, such as for example a smectite clay. Also, the use of the process for manufacturing ambrafuran, especially (?)-ambrafuran and other cycloether derivatives.
