Abstract: An electronic device may have a display mounted in a housing. The display may have a pixel array that produces images. A display cover layer may overlap the pixel array. The display cover layer may have a planar central area surrounded by a peripheral edge area with a curved cross-sectional profile. From an on-axis viewing angle, an image on the pixel array is fully viewable through the planar central area and the peripheral edge area. From an off-axis viewing angle, the image is partly viewable through the peripheral edge area and not through the central area. To avoid an undesired color cast in the partly viewable image seen through the peripheral edge area of the display cover layer, the display may be provided with color cast compensation structures such as a guest-host liquid crystal layer that exhibits an anisotropic colored light absorption characteristic, a diffuser layer, and/or other optical structures.

Abstract: Various embodiments may be generally directed to techniques for planning currency exchange transactions based on customer-provided budgeting information associated with international travel. In some embodiments, an apparatus may comprise a network interface and processing circuitry coupled to the network interface, and the processing circuitry may be operative to forecast future requirements for one or more currencies based on travel budgeting information associated with scheduled international travel. In an example embodiment, the processing circuitry may receive travel budgeting information indicating one or more budgeted amounts of a first currency, determine a marginal currency requirement projection for a second currency based on the one or more budgeted amounts of the first currency, and update a currency requirement forecast for the second currency based on the marginal currency requirement projection. The embodiments are not limited in this context.

Abstract: A method of operating a service server is disclosed. One embodiment comprises the steps of: receiving, from a payment application server, identification information obtained by a buyer's terminal and dynamic code information created by a request of the buyer's terminal; determining whether or not the obtained identification information is valid; on the basis of the determining result, mapping the obtained identification information to the dynamic code information; and transmitting the mapping information created on the basis of the mapping to the payment application server.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a system and method for optimizing collaborative fleet performance utilizing an Internet-based analytical tool. A user accesses the online tool via a secured access portal. The user is then prompted to provide current customer information, pricing and supplying terms, and customer objectives. The system then processes the information provided, prompting the user to select those products which most closely fulfill the customer's objectives. Once the necessary information has been input into the system, the web-based analytical tool generates a professional proposal suitable for presentation by the user to a prospective customer.

Abstract: The present invention is a device and method that immobilizes the vertebral bodies by immobilizing the respective spinous process extending therefrom. The device contains a spacer extending from a body with the spacer adapted to be positioned between adjacent spinous processes so that the spacer may be located close to the spine. A strap connected with the body is designed to engage the spinous processes, such that the device may be adjusted to be positioned about the spinous processes. The device ensures that the spacer remains positioned between adjacent spinous processes. The method to insert the device minimizes destruction to body tissue, thus it is less traumatic to the patient and allows for the patient to recover from the procedure faster than conventional methods.
