  • Patent number: 10791219
    Abstract: A method, program product, and system for audio content control during an idle condition of a telephonic call. A signal identifying an idle condition is received by a calling device from a called party, wherein the idle condition includes a wait-state connection to the called party. A signal is transmitted from the calling device to the called party confirming local control of audio content during the idle condition of the audio call. Preferences of audio content accessible to the calling device are determined. The audio content is delivered to the calling device, based on the preferences. An indicator signal of an interrupt point pause during delivery of the audio content is transmitted to the called party, and information associated with the idle condition of the audio call is received by the calling device, from the called party based on the indicator signal of the interrupt point.

  • Publication number: 20200286089
    Abstract: A method includes receiving, by a backend application, a request for a transaction from a frontend application, and determining, by the backend application, that the request is approved according to an approval policy. The method also includes creating, by the backend application, a single-use account, and requesting, by the backend application, a single-use code for the single-use account from a financial institution. The method also includes receiving, by the backend application, the single-use code, and sending, by the backend application, the single-use code to the frontend application.

  • Publication number: 20190325756
    Abstract: A method for determining a flight path for an aircraft system, for example an unmanned aircraft system (UAS) comprises analysing an intensity map relating to a three dimensional space. The intensity map comprises an array of voxels, each voxel defining a volume in the three dimensional space, and each voxel having a related traffic intensity value based on historical flight data through that voxel. The method comprises determining a probability of an encounter for a preferred flight path between a start point and an end point via one or more voxels in the three dimensional space, based on traffic intensity values of the one or more voxels along the preferred flight path. The preferred flight path is selected if the probability of encounter is less than a first threshold value.

  • Publication number: 20190311039
    Abstract: Methods, computer program products, and systems are presented. The methods include, for instance: obtaining a style feed including a plurality of original works by an author. An author-style model for the author is built based on the style feed by use of a selected neural network, and a publication is generated in the style of the author based on the author-style model.

  • Patent number: 7780746
    Abstract: The disclosure is directed to a method of enhancing a fuel value for a used or waste lubricating oil, lubricating oils having improved combustion and emission characteristics, and a business method for distributing and using waste oils as components of primary combustion fuels. In one embodiment, there is provided a lubricating oil composition having improved combustion and emission properties when burned as a used lubricating oil composition. The lubricating oil composition includes a major amount of oil of lubricating viscosity and a minor combustion improving amount of a combustion improving additive.
