Publication number: 20150262182Abstract: The disclosed embodiments include methods and systems that automatically populate interfaces facilitating electronic transactions. In one embodiment, a system may identify a contextual event triggering an account transfer transaction. The system may also determine a first account associated with a first user based on the contextual event, and determine a second account based on the contextual event and a set of rules associated with the first user. The system may generate, based on the detected event and the set of rules, first information used to provide prefilled content identifying the first account as a source account and the determined second account as a destination account. The system may also generate, in response to an authorization, second information used to provide second content including a notification that a transfer of funds from the first account to the second account has occurred.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 12, 2015Publication date: September 17, 2015Inventors: Steve GERVAIS, Eric KAISER, Peter HORVATH, Andrew CHAK, Christianne MORETTI, Lauren VAN HEERDEN, Orin DEL VECCHIO, Gunalan NADARAJAH, Tommy PHUNG

Publication number: 20150262181Abstract: The disclosed embodiments include methods and systems that automatically populate interfaces facilitating electronic transactions. In one embodiment, a system may detect an action of a first user that triggers an account transfer transaction. The system may also determine a first account associated with the first user based on the detected action, and determine a second account based on the detected action and a set of rules associated with the first user. The system may generate, based on the detected event and the set of rules, first information used to provide prefilled content identifying the first account as a source account and the determined second account as a destination account. The system may also generate, in response to an authorization, second information used to provide second content including a notification that a transfer of funds from the first account to the second account has occurred.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 12, 2015Publication date: September 17, 2015Inventors: Steve GERVAIS, Eric KAISER, Peter HORVATH, Andrew CHAK, Christianne MORETTI, Lauren VAN HEERDEN, Orin DEL VECCHIO, Gunalan NADARAJAH, Tommy PHUNG

Publication number: 20070246983Abstract: A compressive member is used to bias a seat backrest into a predetermined position, generally upright as illustrated, relative to a seat base with the compressive member deforming to enable the seat to be pivoted by the application of force to the backrest. When used on a materials handling vehicle for which it is particularly applicable, the resiliently biased backrest attenuates forces that are transferred to the back of an operator occupying the seat when the vehicle is driven over irregularities in a floor supporting the vehicle.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 24, 2007Publication date: October 25, 2007Applicant: CROWN EQUIPMENT CORPORATIONInventors: Eric Hanson, Steven Pulskamp, Eric Kaiser, Ted Wagner, David Rench, George Wetterer

Publication number: 20070074923Abstract: An operator's compartment for an industrial vehicle comprises a platform floor, an operator's seat, at least one presence sensing device and a control module. The operator's seat has a base structure coupled to the platform floor and an operator support coupled to the base structure such that the operator support may be rotated with respect to the platform floor. Each provided presence sensing device is arranged to sense an operator's presence in a predetermined location in or about the operator's compartment and the control module is configured to control at least one operation of the vehicle based upon a rotational position of the operator's seat and a signal from at least one of the presence sensing device(s).Type: ApplicationFiled: October 9, 2006Publication date: April 5, 2007Applicant: Crown Equipment CorporationInventors: Steven Billger, Michael Gallagher, Kevin Gilliland, Eric Kaiser, Leroy Kluver, Jay Kuck, Steven Pulskamp, Craig Rekow, Adam Ruppert, Gary Topp, George Wetterer

Publication number: 20060152052Abstract: Seat repositioning systems for vehicles comprise an operator's seat having a seat bottom and optionally, a seat back, where the operator's seat further comprises an adjustable characteristic, such as seat rotation, seat height adjustment, tilt, or X-Y position. A seat release control is operable to release the operator's seat from a locked position for repositioning of the adjustable characteristic of the operator's seat.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 14, 2006Publication date: July 13, 2006Applicant: Crown Equipment CorporationInventors: Steven Billger, Kevin Gilliland, Eric Kaiser, Leroy Kluver, Jay Pollack, Steven Pulskamp, Nicholas Thobe, Dean Winner

Publication number: 20060061122Abstract: An operator's seat for a vehicle includes a base structure that allows the operator's seat to be rotated with respect to a platform floor of an operator's compartment within the vehicle. The operator's seat may further include a swivel structure that allows an operator support to swivel independently of the rotation of the base structure. At least one presence sensing device may be provided to detect the presence of an operator. The presence sensing device(s), and rotational position of the operator support may provide input signals to a control module that controls the vehicle travel, load handling features, and/or other features of the vehicle that may be selectively enabled, limited or otherwise controlled.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 23, 2004Publication date: March 23, 2006Inventors: Steven Billger, Michael Gallagher, Kevin Gilliland, Eric Kaiser, Leroy Kluver, Jay Kuck, Steven Pulskamp, Craig Rekow, Adam Ruppert, Gary Topp, George Wetterer

Publication number: 20060061178Abstract: Seat repositioning systems for vehicles comprise a seat release element that is operable to cause an operator's seat to be temporarily released from a locked position such that the operator's seat may be adjusted to a new position. By optionally positioning the seat control element proximate to an operator's working position, a vehicle operator may reposition the seat while simultaneously performing another task. Moreover, a controller may be provided that is capable of deciding whether or not to allow the operator's seat to be released based upon vehicle parameters such as vehicle speed or load handling conditions. Still further, the controller may temporarily disable select features of the vehicle depending upon the position of the seat.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 23, 2004Publication date: March 23, 2006Inventors: Steven Billger, Kevin Gilliland, Eric Kaiser, Leroy Kluver, Jay Pollack, Steven Pulskamp, Nicholas Thobe, Dean Winner
