Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods, and apparatuses, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, to coordinate provider selection, recommendation, and service scheduling for authorized services. In one aspect, a method includes receiving an indicator associated with authorization of a service and first data associated with a recipient of the service. A prioritized list of providers may be determined based on second data associated with the providers. An authorization of the service may then be sent to at least one provider selected based on the prioritized list of providers. Other aspects and features are also claimed and described.

Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods, and apparatuses, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, to coordinate data exchange among a plurality of devices. In one aspect, a method is provided that includes receiving first verification data and a request from a service server, determining claim information for a payer based on the first verification data, sending the claim information to a client server, receiving an acknowledgment from the client server, and sending the acknowledgment to the service server. Additional aspects include handling payment information, verifying service completion, and converting data formats. Other aspects and features are also claimed and described.

Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods, and apparatuses, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, to coordinate data exchange among a plurality of devices. In one aspect of the disclosure, a method includes receiving, from a client server, an indicator associated with authorization of a service, and receiving, from a service server, first verification data and a request. The first verification data is associated with performance of the service and the request includes a request for payment for performance of the service. The method further includes sending, to an exchange server, second verification data. The second verification data is based on the first verification data. The method also includes receiving, from the exchange server in response to receipt of the second verification data and the request by the exchange server, a reply. Other aspects and features are also claimed and described.

Abstract: Methodologies and corresponding systems for a Local adaptive fusion regression (LAFR) process are able to search a large library of spectral measurement for a linear calibration (training) set, which is spectrally matrix matched to a target sample spectrum, and also tightly bracketed about an “unknown” prediction property (analyte) for the target sample. Using a matched calibration set, the likelihood of an accurate prediction by the selected calibration set is greatly enhanced. The LAFR process integrates multiple spectral similarity information with contextual considerations between source analyte contents, model, and analyte predictions. LAFR facilitates onsite chemical analysis such as with a handheld spectrometer, dedicated in-line process analyzers and benchtop instruments. LAFR is based on a Beer’s law like linear relationship where a calibration model (mathematical relationship) is made that linearly relates the analyte amount, e.g., concentration, to the measured spectral responses.

Abstract: Methods for identifying marks in a defaced metal surface by use of computer-implemented processing of images obtained according to a thermal lock-in imaging technique are described. Methods include processing phase images and/or amplitude images according to principal component analysis of a concatenated input matrix and development of a score image for each principal component determined by the analysis. Score images or extracted features of score images (e.g., Zernike moments) are compared to images/features in a reference data library and based upon the comparison, the defaced mark can be identified.
