Abstract: A smoke detector system is provided. The smoke detector system includes a smoke detection element. The smoke detector system further includes an internal air quality (IAQ) sensor. The IAQ sensor is disposed and configured to confirm whether an alarm issued by the smoke detection element is real or a false alarm.

Abstract: Various systems, methods, and computer program products for providing data authentication for long range communications. The method includes receiving one or more local data processing indicators from a computing device of a user. The one or more local data processing indicators is based on historical information relating to data processing by the user. The method also includes comparing the one or more local data processing indicators to one or more server data processing indicators. The method further includes causing a transmission of an approval of a processing request in an instance in which the local data processing indicator(s) match the server data processing indicator(s). The processing request is related to the computing device of the user. The method still further includes causing a transmission of a notification of a potential malfeasant request in an instance in which the local data processing indicator(s) does not match the server data processing indicator(s).

Abstract: Rules and triggers for initiating and generating transactions can be dynamically and automatically created by a computing device based on learning behaviors for a knowledgebase. Additionally, payment devices may be intelligently selected for transactions using various contextual attributes. Transaction generation and payment device selection may occur within a particular network such as an Internet of Things (IoT) network where devices are interconnected and capable of processing data and instructions. Such a network may be associated with a user or location or organization, and may conform to a specific communication protocol. Payment device selection may consider a variety of factors including communication security, encryption, location, and benefits.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods for securing a transaction. The apparatus may include a transaction instrument. The transaction instrument may be configured to exchange transaction data to effect a transaction by engagement of a microprocessor with a transacting party. The transaction instrument may include a sensor. The sensor may be configured to sense an environmental parameter. The sensor may be in electrical communication with the microprocessor. The apparatus may run analysis using a distributed model. In the distributed model, heavy processing may be performed at the pattern registration platform, and light processing may be performed on on-board processors on the transaction instrument. The environmental parameter may be associated with one or more behaviors of the user.

Abstract: Systems, computer program products, and methods are described herein for information transfer between communication channels. The present invention is configured to electronically receive, via a first communication channel associated with an entity, information associated with a transfer of resources from a user at a first time; initiate one or more machine learning algorithms at on the information associated with the transfer of resources at the first time; generate, using the one or more machine learning algorithms, a summary of the information associated with the transfer of resources; electronically receive an indication that the user wishes to transfer to a second communication channel; and initiate a communication channel transfer protocol to transmit the summary of the information associated with the transfer of resources to the second communication channel.

Abstract: Systems for optimized forecasting are provided. In some examples, data associated with strategy of one or more business units may be received. The strategy data may include identification of projects or goals. In some examples, industry trend data may be received and may include data associated with in-demand job skills and the like. An instruction to capture user data may be transmitted to one or more user devices of an employee user. The instruction may cause activation of one or more sensors or data capture devices. The captured user data may be received and analyzed to determine a competency of the user. Based on the strategy data, industry data and determined competency, one or more deficiencies between the resources needed to meet the business unit strategy data and the available resources may be identified. Based on the identified deficiency, one or more actions for execution may be identified and executed.

Abstract: A faulted circuit indicator includes a microprocessor or discrete logic to determine a fault condition and initiate one or more fault indications, a super capacitor, a battery, and power supply circuitry for providing power to the microprocessor and one or more fault indicators. The power supply circuitry: inductively receives energy from a power line; determines whether an induced voltage is sufficient to power one or more functions of the FCI device; and if not, determines whether available voltage from the super capacitor is sufficient to power the one or more functions of the FCI device. If so, the power supply circuitry draws voltage from the super capacitor and, if not, the power supply circuitry draws voltage from the battery when it is determined that the available voltage from the super capacitor is not sufficient to power the one or more functions of the FCI device.
