Abstract: An embodiment of the present invention is directed to a Temporal CVV2 of CVV, which may be represented as a temporary three digit number generated using unique credentials associated with a card product. According to an embodiment of the present invention, the Temporal CVV2 may be generated for each transaction request or other defined set of transactions based on one or more factors, including time period/limit, usage, fraud/risk considerations. With this solution, a customer may request a new Temporal CVV2 each time a purchase is initiated. This may include online purchases, e-commerce transactions, manual link and provision requests, customer authentication for servicing channels, etc. An embodiment of the present invention seeks to mitigate risk and provide a safer and secure solution for customers while providing flexibility to make various purchases before a new card arrives.

Abstract: Real-time control of a prosthetic device using EMG-based locomotion state classification computes a histogram [208] of a time-frequency spectrogram [206] of the EMG data [200] sampled from muscles, classifies the histogram using if-else rules [212] as representing a locomotion steady state [216] or locomotion transition state [214] in the prosthetic device, and controls the prosthetic device using the computed transitions between locomotion modes. The classification may be based on a comparison of feature values [210] derived from the histogram and stored feature values derived from histograms of known locomotion states. Alternatively, the classification may be based on matching scores calculated from the histogram and stored histograms of known locomotion states.

Abstract: A method and system facilitates the provision of a diverse supply of electrical energy from wind energy. One or more qualified wind data regions are established within a geographic area. Each qualified wind data region meets or exceeds a wind velocity criteria over a requisite time period. Accessible transmission and distribution zones are established where a desired range of electrical energy is potentially distributable to electricity purchasers or consumers via existing distribution infrastructure. One or more candidate regions are determined based on the overlap of the regions and the zones. A selector selects preferential regions, for placement of conversion devices, from the candidate regions based on the preferential regions being spatially separated from one another by a minimum distance to provide an electrical power generation reliability exceeding a minimum target or percentage of reliability.

Abstract: A method for determining a location of a conversion device for converting wind energy into electrical energy comprises establishing a plurality of data layers, including at least a wind data layer and a transmission grid data layer. Each data layer contains attribute data that is associated with corresponding location data. The location data of one layer is aligned with the location data of other layers to form a composite layer. The composite layer is searched to identify the first compliant location data associated with a target value or a target value range of the attribute data for the wind data layer. The composite layer is searched to identify a second compliant location data associated with a target value or a target value range of the attribute data for the transmission grid data.

Abstract: A method and system determines a location of a conversion device for converting wind energy into electrical energy by considering both technical and economic viability factors. One or more qualified wind data regions are established within a geographic area. Each qualified wind data region meets or exceeds a wind velocity criteria over a requisite time period. Distribution accessible zones are established where a desired range of electrical energy is distributable via existing distribution infrastructure. Candidate regions are determined based on the overlap of the regions and the zones. Land data is obtained and is associated with the candidate region. The land data may comprise at least one of a land use and a holder of an interest in real property associated with the candidate region. A selector selects a preferential region, for placement of a conversion device, from the candidate regions based on a land data.

The land data may comprise at least one of a land use of the respective candidate region and an identity of a holder of an interest in real property associated with the candidate region. A selector selects a preferential region, for placement of a conversion device, from the candidate regions based on a land use data.

Each qualified wind data region meets or exceeds a wind velocity criteria over a requisite time period. Accessible transmission and distribution zones are established where a desired range of electrical energy is potentially distributable to electricity purchasers or consumers via existing distribution infrastructure. Cross-correlation factors are determined for wind data associated with pairs of wind data regions within the geographic area. One or more candidate regions are determined based on the overlap of the regions and the zones.
