  • Patent number: 10178446
    Abstract: A local network call handling device is configured to establish multiple concurrent call sessions between local network end devices and an external network. When a prioritized end device attempts to establish a call session, the call handling device may initially determine if a first call session identifier is available. If so, the call session can be established using that first identifier. If the first identifier is in use for a call session of another end device, the call handling device may either use a different call session identifier for the prioritized end device session or may drop a pre-existing call session to free an identifier for use in connection with the prioritized end device.

  • Publication number: 20180289138
    Abstract: Systems and methods described herein may provide an adjustable magnetic attachment force for flag football and for determining a location in flag football. In some embodiments, a system comprises a flag and a wearable item, wherein the flag and the wearable item are configured such that a magnetic attachment force exerted between a first connector and a second connector attaches the flag to the wearable item. In some embodiments, a set comprises one or more flags and one or more wearable items, wherein an adjustable magnetic attachment force attaching the flags and wearable items is adjusted by replacing one or more magnetic components. In some embodiments, a system comprising a flag and a wearable item is configured to detect that contact between a first connector and a second connector has been broken and to automatically indicate a location associated with the contact being broken.

  • Publication number: 20170344925
    Abstract: A method for transmitting messages based on the occurrence of workflow events and the output of propensity models identifying a future financial requirement. The method includes generating, based on a propensity model score of a business entity, a classification of a future financial requirement of the business entity. Also, the method includes determining that the classification of the future financial requirement of the business entity meets a financial requirement threshold. Further, the method includes determining, using data of the business entity, that an aspect of the business entity meets a business activity threshold. Moreover, the method includes detecting that a workflow event has occurred on a platform utilized by the business entity. Still yet, the method includes, in response to the determination that the workflow event has occurred, transmitting a message to a user of the business entity.

  • Publication number: 20170316512
    Abstract: A method for determining a future financial requirement of a business entity. The method includes obtaining a propensity model. The propensity model models how data of the business entity relates to a future financial requirement of the business entity. Also, the method includes gathering the data of the business entity. The data is created based on a platform utilized by the business entity, and the data of the business entity matches at least a subset of the propensity model. In addition, the method includes scoring the business entity by applying the propensity model to the data of the business entity. The method also includes generating, based on the score of the business entity, a classification of the future financial requirement of the business entity. Further, the method includes transmitting a message to the business entity based on the classification of the future financial requirement of the business entity.
