Patent number: 8244629Abstract: Evaluating fraud risk in a transaction between consumer and a merchant over a network is disclosed. The merchant requests service over the network using a secure, open messaging protocol. An e-commerce transaction or electronic purchase order is received from the merchant, the level of risk associated with each order is measured, and a risk score is returned to the merchant. In one embodiment, data validation, highly predictive artificial intelligence pattern matching, network data aggregation and negative file checks are used to examine numerous factors to calculate fraud risk. A risk score is generated and compared to the merchant's specified risk threshold. The result is returned to the merchant for order disposition.Type: GrantFiled: June 24, 2011Date of Patent: August 14, 2012Inventors: Michael Lewis, Frank King, Thomas Arnold, William Wright, John Pettit

Patent number: 4464482Abstract: A three dimensional interstitial catalyst support and a catalyst system comprising the support for use in (especially pressure-sensitive) surface reactions involving disturbed fluid flow, especially trickle feed three phase reactions such as the hydrogenation of crotonaldehydes or butyraldehyde. The support comprises a three dimensional self-supporting form-stable interstitial structure composed of five or more superimposed intermeshing layers of knitted cloth and the volume of the interstices in the structure is from 60 to 98 (preferably at least 85) % of the volume of the structure. The combination of the use of intermeshing knitted wire, form-stability and an open structure allows disturbances comprising components of motion transverse to the general flow of the fluid through the support to be imparted by the catalyst system with less risk of blockages, flooding or damage by attrition and hence less need to increase pressure during a reaction which is undesirable in pressure sensitive reactions.Type: GrantFiled: November 3, 1982Date of Patent: August 7, 1984Assignee: Johnson Matthey Public Limited CompanyInventors: Alfred J. Bird, Frank King

Patent number: 4131979Abstract: Automated machine for the continuous bias cutting of an elongated tube of material, such as tubular knitted fabric, into a plurality of individual strips, and winding the strips into a plurality of rolls. The tubular material is advanced axially at a uniform rate from a supply to a cutting and rolling section by a plurality of skewable rotatable cylinders acting as a positive feeding means. As the tubular material is withdrawn from the supply, it passes over a spreader which opens and tensions it. The skewed cylinders cause the tube to rotate about its axis as it advances. Control means are utilized to adjust automatically the skew angles of the cylinders, to increase or decrease the rate of advance of the tube, to compensate for variations inherent in the material which affect its rate of feed. Control means also are utilized to adjust automatically the tension exerted by the spreader, to correlate such tension with the rate of advance as determined by the skew angles of the cylinders.Type: GrantFiled: April 11, 1977Date of Patent: January 2, 1979Assignee: Hanes CorporationInventors: J. Frank King, Donald A. Sloan
