Abstract: The disclosure provides methods, systems and computer program products that enable optimized direct benefit transfers from an originator to a beneficiary. Implementation of a direct benefit transfer involves receiving from an originator bank server a user identifier uniquely associated with the beneficiary, and direct benefit transfer payment amount. The user identifier is used to retrieve a payment account identifier associated with the beneficiary. The retrieved identifiers are used to route the payment account identifier and the transaction amount information to a beneficiary bank server that is identified. The beneficiary bank server responds to credit of the disbursement amount, by crediting the payment account associated with the beneficiary.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and other embodiments described herein relate to tracking a user, updating a destination for the user and delivering an item to the updated destination using a Mobility-as-a-Service (“MaaS”) system. In one embodiment, a method includes associating the item with the user. The method includes determining a destination of the user, determining a delivery route for the item based at least on the destination and initiating delivery of the item based on the determined delivery route. The method further includes tracking movements of the user, receiving user movement data based on at least the tracked movements of the user, and determining whether the destination has changed based on the user movement data. If the destination has changed, updating the destination based on the user movement data, determining a revised delivery route for the item based on the updated destination, and rerouting the item based on the revised delivery route.

Abstract: The progression of technology in vehicles has enhanced the driver's as well as passenger's experience. A sizable portion of the progression is the evolution of the human-machine interface. Nowadays, incorporating several user interfaces within a single vehicle is the standard. Accordingly, improving an occupant's interaction with these user interfaces is fundamental to cultivating the optimum occupant experience. The presently disclosed technology fulfills this objective by creating customized user interfaces for a vehicle. Each customized user interface is formed through the fusion of data from sensors within and around the vehicle tracking the occupant as well as vehicle interactions with each other and the environment. The wealth of information obtained simultaneous advances each individual occupant's experience by modifying associated user interfaces in accordance with the occupant's identified wants and needs.

Abstract: A hand tool has a pivot connection pivotally attaching a first arm to a second arm, with the pivot connection fixed relative to the first arm and movable to first and second positions relative to the second arm. A spring urges the pivot connection into the first position. When jaws on the front ends of the arms clamp tissue with force greater than a pre-set threshold, the spring force is overcome and the jaws may move linearly apart, allowing for more uniform clamping of the tissue. The first arm may have an arm spring extending between a front segment pivotally attached to a rear segment of the first arm.
