  • Publication number: 20210035108
    Abstract: 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.

  • Publication number: 20200402670
    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to reducing resource consumption via information technology infrastructure. A server of the present disclosure receives one or more data packets including data indicating a healthcare transaction event. The server selects healthcare trend model trained by the server using previously received data packets. The server determines a correlation coefficient between each of a plurality of healthcare related recommendations and the selected healthcare trend model. The server retrieves a notification template from a notification data structure that maps to the highest ranking healthcare related recommendation. The server generates a request to deliver the notification corresponding to the highest ranking healthcare related recommendation at a destination address of a computing device of a participant.

  • Publication number: 20200210973
    Abstract: A system to allocate resources via information technology infrastructure is described. A server includes processors to provide to a plurality of devices, an electronic benefits account transaction application programming interface (“API”) configured to receive transaction requests from a plurality of heterogeneous electronic funding sources. The server can receive a request to initiate a single transaction to fund an electronics benefit account. The server can transmit data in an alert format indicating a denial of the single request responsive to a comparison of a value to one or more threshold limits.

  • Patent number: 10633630
    Abstract: The invention is in the field of growth of Mycobacteria. In particular, agents have been identified which enhance the growth of Mycobacterial species, which are naturally slow-growing. Such agents can therefore be used in the identification of Mycobacteria and in the diagnosis of Mycobacterial infections.

  • Patent number: 10195613
    Abstract: An apparatus for disintegration (or mixing) of a solid in a receptacle containing liquid, has a control unit and an ultrasound transducer generating ultrasonic energy under control of the control unit. An annular coupling element in communication with the ultrasound transducer is adapted to receive the receptacle. Ultrasonic energy is transferred to the receptacle contents through the annular coupling element. In use, the ultrasonic energy transferred to the receptacle contents causes disintegration of the solid into the liquid. A method for disintegration of a solid in a receptacle is also described.

  • Publication number: 20180321722
    Abstract: A load control device for controlling the power delivered from an AC power source to an electrical load is able to receive radio-frequency (RF) signals from a Wi-Fi-enabled device, such as a smart phone, via a wireless local area network. The load control device comprises a controllably conductive device, a controller for rendering the controllably conductive device conductive and non-conductive, and a Wi-Fi module operable to receive the RF signals directly from the wireless network. The controller may cooperate with one or more other devices to synchronize in time the adjustments made by one or more load control devices that are operable to control the power delivered to one or more electrical loads. The one or more load control devices may also cooperate with one or more Internet based information providers to provide preconfigured and condition based adjustments of the one or more electrical loads.
