Abstract: Provided are a system and methodology for fraud detection and prevention to minimize an ongoing effect of fraud attack. The minimization is rooted in leveraging real-time recognition for delineated, time-based frequency for patterning within transaction data in which such patterning can be indicative of fraud. Once the recognition is performed, affected entities can be notified such that they may then institute efforts to thwart effects of the fraud attack. Still further, the recognition can serve to mitigate effects of fraud attack for subsequent iterations of transaction data by automating, in real-time, disapproval of transactions infected with the aforementioned patterning.

Abstract: Printed circuit boards may be formed using ceramic substrates with high thermal conductivity to facilitate heat dissipation. Metal nanoparticles, such as copper nanoparticles, may be used to form conductive traces and fill through-plane vias upon the ceramic substrates. Multi-layer printed circuit boards may comprise two or more ceramic substrates adhered together, wherein each ceramic substrate has one or more conductive traces defined thereon and the one or more conductive traces are formed through consolidation of metal nanoparticles. The one or more conductive traces in a first ceramic substrate layer are in electrical communication with at least one second ceramic substrate layer adjacent thereto.

Abstract: A method for synchronizing time within a local, networked system including a first device and a least one second device. The first device uses a short-wavelength, ultra-high frequency radio communications protocol to advertise a time that is being maintained by a first clock of the first device. The second device uses the received time to discipline a second clock of the second device such that the second clock of the second device is generally synchronized to the first clock of the first device.

Abstract: A first electronic device and a method for providing a group call service are provided. The method includes receiving a user input for a group call between multiple people included in a designated image, acquiring facial features of the multiple people, acquiring, based on the facial features, first contact information of a first person from a first local contact list stored in the first electronic device, transmitting the first contact information of the first person and a facial feature of a second person to a server, receiving an identification value of the first person holding second contact information of the second person from the server, initiating, based on the first contact information, the group call of the first person with respect to a second electronic device, and transmitting a request for participation of a third electronic device in the group call to the second electronic device.
