  • Patent number: 11995563
    Abstract: A unique implementation of a machine learning application for suggesting actions for a user to undertake is described herein. The application transforms a history of user behavior into a set of models that represent user actions given a set of parameters. These models are then used to suggest that users in a payments or banking environment take certain actions based on their history. The models are created using the DensiCube, random forest or k-means algorithms.

  • Patent number: 11747952
    Abstract: A unique implementation of a machine learning application for suggesting actions for a user to undertake is described herein. The application transforms a history of user behavior for a plurality of users into a set of models that represent user actions, and the optimal actions, given a set of parameters. These models are then used to suggest that users in a payments or banking environment take certain actions based on a best in class model derived from the best performing user. The models are created using the DensiCube, random forest, K-means or other machine learning algorithms.

  • Publication number: 20060021552
    Abstract: A table includes a table top with an underside. A support is rotatably connected to the underside of the table top and is rotatable at least between a stored position lying generally adjacent the underside and an extended position in which the support extends generally away from the underside. A bearing brace is hingedly attached to the support at a joint and includes a first end distal from the joint. A set-up latch is on the underside of the table top, with the first end of the bearing brace being releasably securable in the set-up latch when the support is in the extended position.

  • Publication number: 20060021553
    Abstract: A table includes a table top with an underside and a support attached to the underside of the table top. The support is rotatable between a stored position and an extended position and extends generally away from the table top when the support is in the extended position and substantially lays against the underside of the table top when the support is in the stored position. A tab is carried by the support. A latch is positioned on the underside of the table top and includes a catch shiftable between an obstructing position and a withdrawn position. The catch includes a locking surface adapted to releasably engage the tab to secure the support in the extended position.
