Abstract: Authentication method and systems using RFID-enabled payment cards are disclosed herein where a server receives a request corresponding to authorization of a payment associated with a payment card from an electronic terminal. The server identifies an electronic device of a user associated with the payment card. The server then transmits an instruction to the electronic device to cause an RFID reader of the electronic device to determine whether an RFID tag corresponding to the payment card is located within a predetermined proximity to the electronic device. When the payment card is located within the predetermined proximity, the server executes a first authentication protocol. Moreover, when the payment card is not located within the predetermined proximity, the server executes a second authentication protocol, wherein the second authentication protocol is more restrictive than the first authentication protocol.

Abstract: A system for training a bidding model comprising: a plurality of tactics stored on at least one database; a plurality of hyperparameters; in response to an available inventory from a publisher relayed through a real time bid server, computing a bid on the available inventory; sending the bid to the real time bid server; receiving an auction result in response to the bid; calculating a plurality of rewards based on the auction result and the tactics; calculate a plurality of q values based on the rewards; calculate a plurality of losses; backpropogating the losses through the bidding model.

Abstract: A video system (10) includes a digital viewing device (22) having a display (32), a plurality of discrete video clips that are each associated with a first stack, and a video clip display sequencer defining an order for sequential display of the video clips in the first stack on the display (32) of the digital viewing device (22). The video clips in the first stack are unrelated to each other in terms of plot, and associations of each of the video clips with the first stack are selectively defined using the digital viewing device (22). At least a portion of the order for sequential display is determined substantially randomly by the digital viewing device (22).

Abstract: According to some embodiments, a project management system for managing projects in a plurality of stages comprising at least a first stage and a second stage includes a development module, a support module, and a management module. Each stage represents a stage required for completion before the project enters production. The development module is operable to receive a first stage status update. The first stage status update indicates that a development team has completed the first stage for a project. The support module is operable to receive an approval from a support team approving the development team's completion of the first stage. The management module is communicatively coupled to the development module and the support module and is operable to determine whether the development team is authorized to perform actions towards completion of the second stage based on whether the approval is received for the first stage.

Abstract: A display for conveying game information includes a bar graph and a coded legend. The bar graph has a first axis corresponding to spread values and a second axis corresponding to game time. Individual bars are plotted on the bar graph to indicate a spread between two scores at associated game times for a given game. The coded legend defining a first legend code indicating that a selected group of one or more players is active and a second legend code indicating that the selected group of one or more players is inactive. The individual bars plotted on the bar graph are coded according to the coded legend to associate the spread with activity and inactivity of the selected group of one or more players in the game.
