Abstract: A computer-implemented method, device, and system for communicating an impact of a financial decision or an investment strategy to a user through the use of virtual reality are provided. Providing a context for figuratively ‘seeing and feeling’ the results for a proposed financial strategy may assist the user in better understanding the impact of the financial strategy. Information provided in this context may educate the user with regards to the amount of income or savings required to achieve a goal over a time period. A goal for a user may be displayed as an image in a virtual reality scene based on gathered user information. The image representing the goal may be displayed according to a percent of clarity based on the financial amount needed to achieve the goal. The image may be changed based on the amount over a perceived virtual reality time period.

Abstract: A system includes at least one hardware processor and a memory storing instructions which, when executed, cause the hardware processor to perform operations including identifying a notification trigger configured by a user of a target computing device, the notification trigger including at least one trigger condition and notification content, the trigger condition references a value from a trigger data source and includes a condition based on the value, the notification content includes content provided by the user, receiving the value from the trigger data source, determining, based on the value, that the at least one trigger condition is satisfied, and presenting the notification content to the user on a target computing device associated with the user, the notification content is presented in a target content venue configured to present third-party advertisements to the user.

Abstract: A system includes at least one hardware processor and a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one hardware processor, cause the at least one hardware processor to perform operations including identifying a component of tracked conduct, the component of tracked conduct including a first conduct trigger condition and a reward, the first conduct trigger condition is associated with conduct of a user related to retirement, receiving conduct data associated with the first conduct trigger condition from a first data source, determining, using the conduct data, that the first conduct trigger condition is satisfied, and causing the reward to be provided to the user.

Abstract: A system and computer-implemented method for use in generating retirement income from selling a non-monetary digital asset affiliated with a user are provided. Information about a user may be gathered by a processor in a computing device. A non-monetary digital asset associated with the user may be determined based on the user information. A market price for the non-monetary digital asset may be determined from a plurality of data sources. A buyer for the non-monetary digital asset may be identified. The non-monetary digital asset may then be sold to the buyer at the market value price. The proceeds from selling the non-monetary digital asset may be placed into a retirement account associated with the user. The non-monetary digital asset may be automatically sold at the market value price prior to an expiration date.

Abstract: Examples of a system and method may generally provide a graphical user interface for qualitative risk profile determination. A method may include providing a graphical user interface including a plurality of related qualitative graphs. The method may include receiving a selection from a user of one of the plurality of related qualitative graph and automatically determining a risk profile for the user. The risk profile may be provided on the graphical user interface.

Abstract: A holder for fireworks includes a body having first and second portions that are movable with respect to each other between clamped and unclamped positions. A retaining device is used to hold the portions in the clamped position against a firework. The holder may be collapsed to a flat configuration for storage and shipping.

Abstract: A method of producing a hardwood flooring product, including the steps of processing a strip of raw wood into a blank having a predetermined thickness and width, and top and bottom surfaces defining parallel planes relative to each other, and splitting the blank along the width of the blank from one side to the other to form two low profile flooring strips having the same width as the blank and a thickness less than one-half the thickness of the blank. The splitting step includes the steps of providing first and second circular saw blades mounted on spaced-apart vertical axes for rotation in a single plane intermediate and parallel to the planes of the top and bottom surfaces of the blank and positioning the blank on conveying means upstream from the saw blades with the plane of rotation of the saw blades intermediate and parallel to the planes of the top and bottom surfaces of the blank for movement of the blank from an upstream position to a downstream position relative to the saw blades.

Abstract: A cap visor defined by upper and lower layers of material having an insert board therebetween in a sealed relationship. A flow mold technique patterns one of the layers of material, as, for example, to simulate stitching. In that the insert board is sealed within the layers of material, any damage, as that from water passing through conventional stitching, is prevented.
