  • Patent number: 11935063
    Abstract: Embodiments provide a fraud alert management system with real-time remediation and integration with the originating system. The system obtains an electronic file that includes an exception information data structure comprising exception information representing one or more events and automatically parses the exception information into events for the customers associated with the events. For each customer, the system sends an event notification message with a link to an authentication interface of the payor financial institution. After the customer is authenticated, the system provides a user interface that displays information for each event and a display element for reporting fraud. Responsive to the customer selecting the display element for reporting fraud, the system sends a fraud reporting messages to the payor financial institution and the payee financial institution.

    Abstract: Embodiments provide an alert management and real-time remediation system. The system receives an electronic file that includes an overdraft allowance information data structure comprising overdraft allowance information and automatically parses the overdraft allowance information into overdraft allowance events for the associated customers. The system sends overdraft allowance notification messages to the associated customers. The message includes a link to an authentication interface of an institution associated with the customer. After the customer is authenticated, the system provides a user interface that displays overdraft allowance information for each overdraft allowance event associated with the customer and a display element for a payment option. Responsive to the customer selecting the payment option, the system sends a payment message that causes a transfer of a payment to the institution.

  • Patent number: 11784961
    Abstract: A method and corresponding system for improving an interaction process in a social network for a user with at least one other person is provided. The method comprises a step of, in a training phase, acquiring sensor data on at least a user state and interaction data on a social interaction of a human person with the at least one other person. The acquired sensor data and the interaction data is then analyzed in order to generate classifier data from the acquired sensor data and the acquired interaction data. In a subsequent application phase, the method acquires current sensor data on at least the user state of the at least one other person, predicts an interaction score for the user based on the acquired current sensor data and the classifier data, and generates an interaction identifier for the user for an interaction with the at least one other person in the social network based on the predicted interaction score.

  • Publication number: 20230250486
    Abstract: The present disclosure involves a process to identify a patient likely to have OSCC by taking a sample containing miRNA from epithelial cells from the patient's oral cavity and determining the relative level of expression of miRNA sequences which have different levels of expression in epithelial cell OSCC tissue than in benign tissue. The epithelial cells are those that form the mucosal epithelium that consists mainly of keratinocytes with some immune cells. It involves determining the relative level of expression of at least miRNA sequences hsa-miR-130-3p, hsa-miR-7-5p, hsa-miR-101-3p and hsa-miR-146b-5p. It also involves discriminating between benign oral lesions and OSCC using a sample of epithelial cells of the lesion and determining the relative level of expression of miRNA sequences which have different levels of expression in epithelial cell OSCC tissue than in benign tissue. It uses the relative level of expression of at least miRNA sequences hsa-miR-196a-5p and hsa-miR-873-5p.

  • Publication number: 20230206227
    Abstract: An alert management and real-time remediation system is disclosed. The system may receive, from an institution, an electronic file that includes an exception information (EI) data structure comprising exception information representing events and customers associated with the events, and a contact information data structure comprising an electronic address for each customer. The system may automatically parse the EI into events associated with the customers, and for each customer, send an event notification message (EN) to the electronic address of the customer, wherein the event notification message includes a link to an authentication interface of the institution associated with the customer.

  • Publication number: 20230193267
    Abstract: Disclosed are DsiRNA inhibitors for the genes encoding SAV1, NF2 and MOB1, which cause proliferation of cardiomyocytes on administration to a mammal. The DsiRNA inhibitors can also be administered with a mutant SRF(153-A3) or an mRNA encoding it, and/or Yap5SA (a Yap mutant) or an encoding mRNA, which enhance the proliferative effect on cardiomyocytes. Mutant SRF(153-A3) with Yap5SA alone also induce myocyte replication.

  • Patent number: 11670156
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a system for reminding a person to perform an activity. The system comprise a robot configured to carry out different behaviors, wherein the activity and its corresponding trigger condition are set by a user and the system selects, from the different behaviors, a first behavior assigned to the activity, senses the person, determines, based on the sensors information, whether or not the activity is performed by the person in accordance with the trigger condition. The robot carries out the selected behavior if the activity is not performed by the person in accordance with the trigger condition, wherein after or during the selected behavior is carried out, an activity of the person is determined based on the information derived from the sensors to select a second behavior from the different behaviors.
