  • Patent number: 10223746
    Abstract: Certain implementations of the disclosed technology may include systems, methods, and apparatus for inferring the performance of rejected credit applicants using non-tradeline data. According to an example implementation, a method is provided for evaluating factors that may indicate financial distress and/or future credit performance associated with an applicant. In an example implementation, the method may include receiving applicant information associated with an applicant of a credit application. Responsive to a query, the method may include receiving by at least one processor, non-tradeline data related to the applicant. The method includes scoring, using a predictive scoring model, and based at least in part on the non-tradeline data, a prediction of the applicant's future credit performance. The method includes generating, based on the scoring, an estimated credit performance of the applicant over a predetermined period; and outputting an indication of the estimated credit performance.

  • Patent number: 10217163
    Abstract: Certain embodiments of the disclosed technology include systems and methods for increasing efficiency in the detection of identity-based fraud indicators. A method is provided that includes: receiving entity-supplied information comprising at least a name, a social security number (SSN), and a street address associated with a request for a payment or a benefit; querying one or more databases with the entity-supplied information; receiving a plurality of information in response to the querying; determining a validity indication of the entity supplied information; creating disambiguated entity records; determining relationships among the disambiguated records; scoring, based at least in part on determining the relationships among the disambiguated entity records, at least one parameter of the entity-supplied information; determining one or more indicators of fraud based on the scoring; and outputting, for display, one or more indicators of fraud.

  • Patent number: 10049903
    Abstract: Methods of manufacturing a heater are provided that generally include forming a laminate having a dielectric layer, a first double-sided adhesive dielectric layer, and a conductive layer. Next, a circuit pattern is created into the conductive layer, and then the circuit pattern is covered with a second double-sided adhesive dielectric layer. The second double-sided adhesive dielectric layer is covered with a sacrificial layer, and then the heater is formed, the heater comprising the dielectric layer, the first double-sided adhesive dielectric layer, the conductive layer, and the second double-sided adhesive dielectric layer. Subsequently, the sacrificial layer is removed.

  • Publication number: 20180197757
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a heater includes forming a first laminate having a first double-sided adhesive dielectric layer, a sacrificial layer, and a conductive layer. The first double sided adhesive layer is disposed between the sacrificial layer and the conductive layer. Next, a circuit pattern is created into the conductive layer, followed by covering the circuit pattern with a second double-sided adhesive dielectric layer. Thereafter, the second double-sided adhesive dielectric layer is covered with a dielectric layer to form a second laminate. Finally, the sacrificial layer is completely removed to form the heater comprising the first double-sided adhesive dielectric layer, the circuit pattern, the second double-sided adhesive layer, and the dielectric layer.

  • Patent number: 8367688
    Abstract: Disclosed are compounds which bind VLA-4. Certain of these compounds also inhibit leukocyte adhesion and, in particular, leukocyte adhesion mediated by VLA-4. Such compounds are useful in the treatment of inflammatory diseases in a mammalian patient, e.g., human, such as asthma, Alzheimer's disease, atherosclerosis, AIDS dementia, diabetes, inflammatory bowel disease, rheumatoid arthritis, tissue transplantation, tumor metastasis and myocardial ischemia. The compounds can also be administered for the treatment of inflammatory brain diseases such as multiple sclerosis.
