Abstract: The disclosed technology provides accurate arrival alerts to a destination. In some embodiments the disclosed technology utilizes a destination specific model that can take into account location specific factors such as traffic around the destination, best approaches to the destination, other likely intermediate stops on the way to the destination, etc. In some embodiments, the present technology aims to provide an arrival alert to the destination at a consistent time interval prior to a user arriving at the destination.

Abstract: A method for determining an economic impact of a candidate event includes receiving an event type identifier representing an event type of a candidate event to occur, and building a reference data store including historical transaction data records of payment transactions occurring in reference geographic areas associated with a reference event having the event type identifier. The method also includes generating a reference model from the historical transaction data records the models a reference number of active accounts and active merchants within a reference geographic area during a period of time associated with the reference event occurring in the geographic area. The method further includes determining a predicted number of active accounts and active merchants within the target geographic area using the reference model, and determining a predicted consumer spend using a predicted spend model. The method also includes generating an economic impact report including the consumer spend.

Abstract: The present invention provides for two types of wide operating temperature range electrolyte formulations that contain methyl butyrate (MB) and additives have been investigated and compared in Lithium-ion capacitors (LICs), which were consisted of hard carbon (HC)/stabilized lithium metal powder (SLMP) anodes and activated carbon (AC) cathodes. The electrolyte L1 that was 1M LiPF6 in ethylene carbonate (EC)+ethyl methyl carbonate (EMC)+MB (20:20:60 v/v %)+0.1M lithium bis(oxalato)borate (LiBOB) and electrolyte L2 that was 1M LiPF6 in EC+EMC+MB (20:20:60 v/v %)+0.1M lithium difluoro(oxalato)borate (LiDFOB) enabled the LICs to discharge at the temperature as low as ?40° C., which the conventional electrolyte LP30 that was 1 M LiPF6 in EC+dimethyl carbonate (DMC) (50:50 w/w %) could not achieve. At the low temperature of ?40° C., L2 held more than 64% of the discharge capacity at 30° C., while the L1 only had the discharge capacity retention of 30%.

Abstract: The present invention provides for high performance lithium-ion capacitor laminate cells that include positive electrodes, negative electrodes and organic solvent electrolyte with lithium salt, and a method for making said high performance lithium-ion capacitor laminate cells. These high performance lithium-ion capacitor laminate cells of the present invention, include a negative electrode which is pre-doped with sufficient lithium ions by employing lithium sources including lithium powder known as SLMP or thin lithium films on the surface of negative electrodes, and this pre-doping with placing lithium sources on negative electrode surface results in LIC laminate cells with considerably higher performance in specific energy, specific power and cycle life.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for use in identifying card-on-file payment account transactions. An example method includes accessing, by a computing device, transaction data included in a data structure, where the transaction data includes transaction data for a transaction associated with a payment account and involving a merchant. The method also includes generating, by the computing device, a card-on-file probability score for the transaction, based on whether the transaction data includes a recurring payment indicator for the transaction, whether the transaction involves a known card-on-file application, whether the merchant is a known card-on-file merchant, whether a card verification code is included in the transaction data for the transaction, and/or whether other transactions to the payment account and involving the merchant have been made in a defined interval.

Abstract: A system, method, and computer-readable storage medium configured to validate data to ensure that a computing system operates on clean, correct and useful data.
