  • Publication number: 20150245200
    Abstract: This disclosure allows greater privacy for mobile device users while maintaining functionality through a process of signature-hopping. Mobile devices have persistent identifiers or signatures which are used in providing device functionality (routing calls to the correct number, returning web queries to the originating device, and connection continuity in local area networks such as WiFi®. These persistent identifiers or signatures can also be collected by unintended recipients or used by intended recipients to correlate, track, or otherwise discover information about the user of the device in extremely intrusive ways. Regularly changing these signatures can mitigate privacy problems for mobile device users, and the disclosure here shows how functionality may be maintained through these changes.

  • Publication number: 20150221027
    Abstract: Systems and methods for optimizations involving insufficient funds conditions are provided. An identification of a first account of a customer of a financial institution may be received by a financial system comprising one or more computers. The first account may be a deposit account at the financial institution. Interest income and non-interest income attributable to one or more of a plurality of accounts, including the first account, that the customer has with the financial institution may be analyzed by the financial system. Based at least in part on the analyzed interest income and non-interest income, a recommended next action associated with the first account may be determined by the financial system. The recommended next action may be associated with an actual or potential insufficient funds (NSF) condition associated with the first account.

  • Patent number: 9028415
    Abstract: A blood flow monitor with a visual display. The monitor may include a probe monitoring circuit configured to be associated with a blood vessel. The probe monitoring circuit may transmit a burst signal and receive a reflected signal, where a frequency shift in the reflected signal represents a flow rate associated with the blood vessel. A mixer may be provided in electrical communication with the probe. A signal processing circuit in electrical communication with the output of the mixer may be configured to drive the visual display with a signal representing the flow rate associated with the blood vessel.

  • Patent number: 8987159
    Abstract: We provide an extracted conjunct polymer naphtha (45), comprising a hydrogenated conjunct polymer naphtha, from a used ionic liquid catalyst, having a final boiling point less than 246° C. (475° F.), a Bromine Number of 5 or less, and at least 30 wt % naphthenes. We also provide a blended alkylate gasoline (97) comprising the extracted conjunct polymer naphtha (45), and integrated alkylation processes to make the extracted conjunct polymer naphtha (45) and the blended alkylate gasoline (97). We also provide a method to analyze alkylate products, by determining an amount of methylcyclohexane in the alkylate products (80).

  • Publication number: 20150012334
    Abstract: Systems and methods for evaluating alternative financial products are provided. A first financial product offered by a financial institution may be identified, where one or more customers of the financial institution are eligible for migration from a second financial product to the first financial product. An attrition risk associated with migration of the one or more customers to the first financial product may be determined. If the attrition risk satisfies a threshold, then migration of the one or more customers to the first financial product may be directed. Otherwise, if the attrition risk fails to satisfy the threshold, then one or more characteristics associated with the first financial product may be modified.

  • Publication number: 20140195398
    Abstract: Systems and methods can provide for customer value optimization. The customer value optimization can include analyzing certain transaction and/or non-transaction data of customers with one or more predictive models to determine predictive modeling scores, values, or indicators. These one or more predictive modeling scores, values, or indicators can be used with other transaction or non-transaction data of customers, either alone or with other derived values/calculations, to provide certain optimizations relating to relationship optimization.

  • Publication number: 20140157256
    Abstract: A business process links several interrelated technological processes that allow a user or an owner to control the scope of applications or programs downloaded to a device by linking 1) an application or program rating system to 2) custom filters that screen out applications or programs not meeting the criteria defined by the user or owner to 3) a lock-down feature which warns, discloses, or impedes downloads or installation of applications not meeting the filter criteria to 4) an application or program removal system that removes or alerts users or owners of the presence of disables applications or programs that are either no longer consistent with user or owner expressed preferences because of a change of those preferences or a re-rating of or change in the application or program.

  • Patent number: 8744899
    Abstract: Systems and methods for migrating customers to alternative financial products are provided. A set of customers of a financial institution may be identified by a financial system that includes one or more computers. Each of the customers may be eligible for a migration from a first financial product to a second financial product. A pre-migration test may be conducted for a subset of the set of customers to determine an attrition risk associated with the migration of the set of customers to the second financial product. Based upon a determination that the attrition risk is acceptable, the migration of the set of customers from the first financial product to the second financial product may be directed.

  • Patent number: 8705947
    Abstract: A method (200) and system (100) for performing a trick mode on a video signal. The method includes the steps of receiving (210) a trick mode command, in response to the trick mode command, repeating (212) a picture in the video signal to form a trick mode video signal in which the picture contains a display indicator; setting (214) the display indicator of the picture being repeated to a predetermined value; and setting (216) the display indicators of subsequent repeated pictures of the picture being repeated to the predetermined value. In one arrangement, the trick mode can be a freeze trick mode, and the picture to be repeated can be a bidirectional predictive picture. In addition, the display indicator can be a temporal reference field having an integer value.
