  • Patent number: 11915197
    Abstract: Provided are systems and methods for programmatically weighting disparate inputs to optimize a predictive model. The predictive model may generate component weighted values associated with each disparate input to facilitate programmatic combination of the disparate inputs, and an aggregated weighted value may be generated from the combined component weighted values. Aggregated weighted values may be generated for a plurality of input sets, each of which may be programmatically scored relative to the remaining input sets. In some embodiments, the predictive model and an associated engine may be packaged for instantiation and execution on a local terminal.

  • Publication number: 20230014326
    Abstract: Provided is a method for remotely uploading certified software from a source to a data update module on an asset via a wireless communications link. The method includes encrypting the communications link between the source and the data update module to form a secure tunnel and verifying credentials of the source via the data update module when a software update file is transmitted. A load assurance check is performed on a portion of the transmitted update file to confirm integrity of the transmitted file when the credentials of the source are verified. The uploading of the certified software is immediately activated when the file integrity is verified, the activating occurring automatically and being devoid of human intervention.

  • Publication number: 20170002710
    Abstract: An apparatus for supplying Diesel Exhaust Fluid to an engine exhaust gas treatment system includes a reservoir to collect trapped air if the dosing module is clogged with crystalized urea. The reservoir is placed at the dosing valve inlet on a T-connection. The reservoir provides a closed chamber to receive trapped air in the DEF supply line, allowing DEF to flow to the dosing module. When DEF contacts the crystallized urea causing the clog, the urea dissolves, freeing the injector so that normal action of the dosing module is restored.

  • Publication number: 20120252403
    Abstract: A method for providing targeted fulfillment with respect to a wireless device protection program may include receiving claim information associated with a subscriber, the claim information indicative of a claim associated with a wireless device protection program, employing a predictive model to determine a plurality of options for fulfillment of the claim, the predictive model defining a weighted value for each option where the weighted value considers cost and a corresponding predicted benefit associated with each option, and enabling ranking of the plurality of options based on the weighted value of each option. A corresponding computer program product and apparatus are also provided.

  • Publication number: 20100306096
    Abstract: I have invented a system which enables the cross-border trading and settlement of securities and financial instruments worldwide by linking markets and exchanges using a specifically devised computer network. My system frees the markets and exchanges of prevailing limitations imposed by the need to harmonize the automated systems, rules, procedures and practices of existing markets and exchanges to achieve this objective. At the same time, my system does not affect the sovereign status of any home market or exchange, leaving all its laws and mechanisms uncompromised. In all of its respects, my system is novel, unique, without particular precedent, and has long been desired. It will advance economic activity and make possible growth with profit in markets and exchanges worldwide.
