  • Patent number: 8930252
    Abstract: A computing system facilitating electronic bill presentment and payment features for authorized users via a user interface is introduced including an analysis engine. The analysis engine, in response to user interaction with the user interface, selectively performs user-defined analysis on at least a subset of retrieved billing information associated with one or more billers. The analysis engine further generates one or more user-defined report(s) based, at least in part, on the user-defined analysis.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 6327591
    Abstract: An adaptive distributed network includes a plurality of information centers connected over a network. Each information center holds any number of information units. The plurality of information applications are connected over the network to the information centers. The information applications retrieve information units from and/or update units at one or more of the information centers. Information applications retrieve and/or update information units at specified information centers. The passage of information over the network is monitored and the distribution of information units across the information centers is controlled adaptively, together with knowledge of the required connectivity between information application and information units. Also the specified information centers are determined in response to the monitored passage of information to improve the system performance.

  • Patent number: 4917654
    Abstract: A belt tensioning arrangement for an endless belt disposed around a series of pulleys comprises a movable pulley rotatably mounted on a T-shaped lever. A spring is connected between a fixed point and one end of the cross of the T. The other end of the cross is connected to a fixed point and the upright of the T to one end of a damper the other end of which is connected to a fixed point. The arrangement is such as to provide for constant belt tension for considerable variations in belt length without mechanical adjustment.
