Abstract: A method and apparatus for driver/operator training includes, in a training system, while presenting a simulation segment: collecting data from at least one input device and analyzing the data to predict a potential future issue. If this analysis indicates that there exists the potential future issue, an informational message is presented to warn of the trainee of the potential future issue.

Abstract: Systems and arrangements for event analysis and processing control are provided. In some examples, a request for a deposit may be received by a financial institution. The deposit may include deposit data, such as an amount, a payer, a routing number associated with a financial institution of the payer, a payee name, an account of the payee, and the like. The deposit data may be analyzed to determine whether the deposit qualifies for modified processing. If so, an account associated with the payee may be evaluated to determine a current balance of the account. If the account balance meets predetermined criteria, an instruction modifying the account may be executed. The deposit may then be processed. Accounts flagged for modified processing may be evaluated to determine whether the time period for modified processing has expired. If so, instructions causing further modification of the account may be executed.

Abstract: An application for an adaptive training system includes a computer interfaced to one or more graphics displays, one of more input/output devices and having access to a plurality of training segments. The input/output devices are in communication with a trainee. Software operates in either a simulation mode in which a trainee interacts with the adaptive training system as if the trainee was operating a target vehicle or in a training mode in which the trainee receives computer-based training from the adaptive training system, in particular, when the trainee does not perform well during the simulation mode of operation.

Abstract: A method of operating an access control system containing one or more hierarchies, each of the one or more hierarchies includes one or more access levels is provided. The method including: computing one or more hierarchies; and assigning a primary access level of the one or more access levels within a primary hierarchy of the one or more hierarchies to a first credential; and determining that access levels vertically below the primary access level in the primary hierarchy are implicitly assigned to the first credential when assigning the primary access level of the one or more access levels within the primary hierarchy of the one or more hierarchies to the first credential.

Abstract: A shifter simulator for driver training includes a shaft with a handle affixed to a first end of the shaft and a distal second end of the shaft being interfaced to a shifter mechanism. A first force sensing device is interfaced to the shaft, outputting a value representative of an amount of force applied to the handle in a forward/rearward direction and a second force sensing device is interfaced to the shaft outputting a value representative of an amount of force applied to the handle in a lateral direction.

Abstract: A method for storing a cryptocurrency private key offline, including: encrypting the cryptocurrency private key using a primary encryption key; sharding the encrypted cryptocurrency private key into a plurality of alpha shards; generating beta shards by encrypting the alpha shards with secondary encryption keys; and storing representations of the beta shards offline. The method can additionally or alternatively include: retrieving the representations of the beta shards from the offline storage; decrypting the beta shards into the alpha shards based on the secondary encryption keys; reconstructing the encrypted cryptocurrency private key by recombining the alpha shards; and decrypting the encrypted cryptocurrency private key with the primary encryption key.

Abstract: Networks and methods are disclosed for providing an indication of the capability of a communication network for serving special number calls. Before a user places a special number call, the communication network determines the capability of the communication network for serving a special number call, and provides the indication of the network capability to the user. The user is thus kept aware of the quality of the special number service available to them through the communication network.
