Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer program products are provided for presenting value exchange in conjunction with financial solution recommendations or offers. The value component, is not limited to monetary value but may, in specific embodiments, also include, convenience value, emotional value or the like. The value component allows the customer to make informed decisions on which financial solution recommendations or offers to select. Further, the value component may be uniquely and dynamically customized (i.e., determined on-the-fly) for the customer based on inputs received from the customer and/or customer profile data. In addition, the value component may reflect average value realized for the demographic group applicable to the customer.

Abstract: A multiple heater control system includes cables, connectors, and junction boxes for user-friendly daisy chain connections of heater controllers and heaters in various configurations or combinations of individually controlled heater series and/or master and slave heater series. The heater controllers include process control of AC power to the heaters and upper-limit safety shutoff that is substantially independent from the process control. The heater controllers also have variable levels of control, adjustment, display, and communications functionality in a base module that is expandable to various levels with expansion modules that are attachable to and detachable from the base module. Connector, cable, and junction configurations, adapters, and latch features enhance user friendliness.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer program products are provided for dynamically building financial solution recommendations based on received inputs. These inputs, which may be received from the customer, an associate collaborating with the customer or from a customer database, may include customer behaviors, customer attitudes, customer life events, customer life interests, customer personal/profile data, customer financial data, such as portfolio data and the like. Based on the received inputs, financial solution recommendations are determined and presented to the customer in real time or near time. As such, the customer is able to instantaneously see how each input of recommendation criteria impacts the financial solution recommendations.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer program products are provide for initiating a financial institution interaction, such as financial solution recommendation interaction or the like, on a first financial institution channel and subsequently seamlessly completing the interaction on a second financial institution channel. The movement of the interaction from one channel to another allows the customer flexibility in completing the interaction and accommodates the customer's time constraints. The financial institution channels may include a financial institution banking center channel, an online banking channel, an ATM channel, a mobile application channel, a kiosk channel, a call center channel, a point-of-sale channel or the like.

Abstract: A modular heater system is provided that includes a heat trace assembly and a connector assembly. The heat trace assembly has a heat trace section that defines a plurality of fins, an insulation jacket surrounding the heat trace section, and at least one terminating member disposed at an end of the heat trace section. The connector assembly has a shell, including a plurality of outer walls and inner walls defining cavities therebetween, and a fitting heater assembly that includes a fitting adapter, a heat trace section disposed around the fitting adapter, and an outer casing disposed around the fitting adapter.
