Abstract: Systems and methods of determining whether to initiate a pull of an accumulated data transfer amount are described. An accumulated data transfer amount for a periodic data transfer scheduled to be pushed at a future date is determined. A determination is made of whether an overall data amount in a storage location is expected to be greater at a date on or after the scheduled future date if a pull of the accumulated data transfer amount is performed before the scheduled future date than if a pull operation is not performed and the accumulated data transfer amount is sent at the scheduled future date. When the overall data amount in the storage location is expected to be greater at the scheduled future date if the pull of the accumulated data transfer amount is performed, a pull of the accumulated data transfer amount is initiated.

The bridge traverses the gap and provides a rigid mechanical connection between the heater and the cooler.

Abstract: Systems and methods of determining whether to initiate a pull of an accumulated data transfer amount are described. An accumulated data transfer amount for a periodic data transfer scheduled to be pushed at a future date is determined. A determination is made of whether an overall data amount in a storage location is expected to be greater at a date on or after the scheduled future date if a pull of the accumulated data transfer amount is performed before the scheduled future date than if a pull operation is not performed and the accumulated data transfer amount is sent at the scheduled future date. When the overall data amount in the storage location is expected to be greater at the scheduled future date if the pull of the accumulated data transfer amount is performed, a pull of the accumulated data transfer amount is initiated.

Abstract: Configuring data transfers based on electronic messages. A system includes a communication module, a processor, and a memory. The memory stores instructions that, when executed, configure the processor to: receive, from a client device, an authentication credential and associate the authentication credential with a client record. The processor identifies, based on delegated access to query a message account at a message server, a resource request message associated with the message account using a defined criteria. The processor obtains, based on the resource request message, a resource parameter to define a proposed resource transfer to a recipient entity. The processor generates and transmits, to the client device, a transfer request alert based on the proposed resource transfer for display at the client device. In response to receiving, from the client device, a selection of a selectable option, the processor allocates a resource to the recipient entity.

The on-demand water heater can be powered by a direct current power source. The on-demand water heater can also utilize a solar thermal system to provide additional heat to the water.

Abstract: For a measurement period, signal strengths, device identifiers and access point identifiers are received from a plurality of access points. A record for the measurement period is stored in random access memory with the record being associated with a single device identifier and containing access point identifiers associated with signal strengths received for the measurement period. The location of a device is determined for the measurement period by retrieving spatial coordinates of a corresponding access point for each access point identifier in the record for the measurement period and setting the location of the device for the measurement period to the average of the retrieved spatial coordinates.
