  • Publication number: 20220156705
    Abstract: A method for providing transitory, communication-specific access to records to determine record modifications when processing electronic communications through an automated clearing house (“ACH”) over computer networks. After receiving an ACH communication, the method may receive, via the source record, communication data from a communication provider indicating an attempted communication using an ACH communication format provided by the source record, wherein the communication data includes a communication processing load offset, data identifying the destination record, and data identifying a communication type.

  • Publication number: 20190060731
    Abstract: A mobile skating aid apparatus for supporting a skater stationed inside and, optionally, an attendant stationed outside of the apparatus at the rear to push from behind and monitor the skater. The apparatus comprises support members for the skater to grasp for support and to propel and steer the apparatus, a horizontally-positioned stabilizing beam which the skater straddles in order to provide a seat for the skater to sit upon in situations where the skater loses footing and which transforms into a more comfortable bench for resting or for changing footwear. At least one gliding or rolling element is also provided to enable the apparatus to move along a surface. The apparatus may also further comprise side rails which serve both to stabilize the apparatus and to further protect the skater against falls as well as collisions.

  • Publication number: 20140344143
    Abstract: The present application relates to a system and method for managing a plurality of accounts. A plurality of accounts is provided, with each account being associated with a customer. Account activity information associated with at least one action regarding one of the plurality of accounts is received at a first predetermined frequency. The received account activity information is analyzed, and at least one term of another account amongst the plurality of accounts is modified based upon a result of the analysis at a second predetermined frequency.

  • Publication number: 20140279333
    Abstract: On a persistent storage device, a database of contracts is maintained. The database has at least one record for each of the contracts. The at least one record for each of the contracts includes at least one field comprising a corresponding contract end date. At a computer processor in communication with the persistent storage device, at least one user query is obtained. Responsive to the at least one user query, a signal is generated with the computer processor to cause a display device to display a histogram of the corresponding contract end date for at least one of the contracts.

  • Patent number: 8806486
    Abstract: Embodiments provide techniques for customers to easily, quickly and remotely manage their virtual data centers. Using, for example, a “single pane of glass” GUI view which shows all of the components (including e.g., machines (cpu and RAM), network services (load balancers, firewalls, network address translation, IP management) and storage) of their virtual data centers, provides a complete overview and a starting point for system or component management. According to embodiments, a Roles Based Access Control (RBAC) system is provided which simulates the organizational structure and workflow of a typical IT department to enable workflow management via the GUI for any component or function of a customer's virtual data center.

  • Patent number: 8365635
    Abstract: End caps are retained by handlebar grip clamps. The grip clamps include recesses to attach to protrusions on an outside end of handlebar grips, interior circumferential portions which clamp against the handlebar, and outward facing mouths with inside grooves. The grip clamps may be loosely attached to the handle grips allowing insertable portions of the end caps to be inserted into the mouths. The insertable portions include tapered portions to facilitate insertion into the mouths of the loosely tightened clamps, and raised captured portions and recessed portions for retention of the end caps by the inside grooves of the mouths. The grip clamps may then be tightened onto the handlebars and thereby both lock the handlebar grips onto the handlebars and retain the end caps. Damaged end caps may later be replaced by loosening the clamps without requiring removal of the clamps or the grips for easy repair.

  • Publication number: 20050248441
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for modifying a three-phase power distribution network in a building in order to provide data communication by using a Power Line Carrier (PLC) signal to an approximate electrical central location point of the power distribution system remote from the data entry point of the building. A passive coupler device is attached to a centrally located service panel. The passive coupler receives the Power Line Carrier (PLC) signal from the remote entry point in the building and conditions the signal for entry at the service panel onto each phase of the three phase power distribution network.

  • Patent number: 6263759
    Abstract: A handlebar grip assembly which can be removably attached to a handlebar. The grip assembly when attached will not rotate around the handlebar in use, and yet is easily removed from the handlebar. The handlebar grip assembly has an inner rigid shell with outwardly extending protrusions at each end. A pair of rigid clamps pass over the outwardly extending protrusions and tighten against the handlebar to hold the grip assembly in place. A soft, flexible grip portion is affixed to the outer surface of the inner rigid shell.
