Publication number: 20240297804Abstract: The present invention proposes a DC power distribution system comprising power source equipment (PSE) providing high powered power over ethernet connections of 200 W per ethernet cable connected with powered devices (PDs) and power distribution units (PDUs). The PD and PDUs connected to the PSE have second ethernet port for extending the high power PoE connection to at least a second PDU or PD. The system also provides a common mode longitudinal system for communicating across the network of PSE, PD and PDU devices and sensor data and command data sent to and from connected PD. The PD and PDU devices incorporate a supervisor circuit for monitoring the s high power PoE connection and for directing the communications with other connected devices. The PDU devices incorporate DC-to-AC inverters for providing AC power, locally from the high power PoE DC connections, where AC power is required.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 29, 2022Publication date: September 5, 2024Applicant: POE-X PTY LTD.Inventors: Norman Samuel BOEMI, David John BULL, James BULL

Patent number: 12033154Abstract: Detecting and controlling fraud in centralized processing is provided. A system receives data packets carrying electronic transactions, and clusters the electronic transactions based on an intermediary identifier of each of the electronic transactions to identify a first cluster and a second cluster. The system generates a first model for the first cluster and a second model for the second cluster. The system detects a fraudulent electronic transaction having a first source identifier. The system locks a first data structure to prevent transfer of a first resource in electronic transactions associated with the first source identifier. The system identifies source identifiers associated with the first cluster in a first tier. The system locks absent detection of the fraudulent electronic transaction in one or more electronic transaction associated with the source identifiers, the data structure corresponding to each of the source identifiers in the first cluster.Type: GrantFiled: June 13, 2022Date of Patent: July 9, 2024Assignee: Alegeus Technologies, LLCInventor: John Bull

Publication number: 20230214938Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to conducting electronic transactions via a computer network. A server receives data packets carrying data identifying a merchant category, an electronic account maintained and configured on the server, and a first monetary amount of a first electronic transaction. A first device generates the data packets at the merchant to conduct the electronic transaction. A policy engine selects a first purse of a plurality of purses allocated to the electronic account based on a policy applied to the data. The first purse may be configured as a benefits purse. The server obtains the first monetary amount of the electronic transaction from the first purse. The policy engine applies a second policy to the data to determine a reimbursement amount based on the first monetary amount of the transaction, and electronically provides the reimbursement amount to a different second purse of the electronic account.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 17, 2023Publication date: July 6, 2023Inventors: John Bull, Chris Rodkey

Patent number: 11657456Abstract: Provided is a system to allocate resources using an information technology infrastructure. The system receives financial and health data of a participant. The system identifies a healthcare expense prediction model to predict the future healthcare expenses of the participant. The system determines from the prediction model using the multi-dimensional feature vector of the participant, the predicted lifetime healthcare expenses of the participant. The system identifies lifetime non-healthcare expenses of the participant. The system identifies a healthcare tax benefit account to provide funds towards the predicted lifetime healthcare expenses and a non-healthcare tax benefit account to provide funds towards lifetime non-healthcare expenses. The system determines a first amount of funds to allocate to the healthcare tax benefit account and a second amount of funds to allocate to the non-healthcare tax benefit account. The system provides the first and second amount of funds to an interactive user interface.Type: GrantFiled: November 8, 2021Date of Patent: May 23, 2023Assignee: Alegeus Technologies, LLCInventors: Jennifer Irwin, John Bull, Steven Auerbach
