Abstract: A remote deposit capture (RDC) processing anomaly detection and remediation tool that can communicate with the RDC system over a network, and determine whether a RDC transaction is missing from the RDC system by comparing created and assigned unique identifiers represented in RDC transaction data received at a selected RDC system location or component with unique identifiers represented in RDC transaction data received at a RDC system location or component that is upstream thereof. In response to finding a missing RDC transaction, the tool can determine one or more RDC system remediation actions, execute the one or more RDC system remediation actions on the RDC system, and report the missing RDC transaction and any RDC system remediation actions executed on the RDC system.

Abstract: A remote deposit capture (RDC) monitoring tool in the form of a computerized system that can communicate with the RDC system over a network, receive RDC transaction data for RDC transactions initiated within some period of time, and create and assign to each RDC transaction, a unique identifier comprising selected items of deposit information.

The system can determine, in response to the comparison of unique identifiers, that a unique identifier and corresponding RDC transaction are missing from the downstream layer or component, while storing and processing only a fraction of the total information included in the RDC transaction data received from the RDC system.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, that protect analytics for resources of a publisher from traffic directed to such resources by malicious entities. An analytics server receives a first message that includes an encrypted token and analytics data for a publisher-provided resource. The token includes a portion of the analytics data and a trust score indicating a likelihood that activity on the resource is attributed to a human (rather than an automated process). The analytics server decrypts the token. The analytics server determines a trustworthiness measure for the analytics data included in the first message based on the trust score (in the decrypted token) and a comparison of the analytics data in the first message and the portion of the analytics data (in the decrypted token). Based on the measure of trustworthiness, the analytics server performs analytics operations using the analytics data.

The secondary transform index indicates a secondary transform in a set of secondary transforms that is to be performed on the TB. The processing circuitry entropy decodes the secondary transform index based on the context and performs the secondary transform.

Abstract: Tasks are selected for hibernation by recording user preferences for tasks having no penalty for hibernation and sleep; and assigning thresholds for battery power at which tasks are selected for a least one of hibernation and sleep. The assigning of the thresholds for battery power include considering current usage of hardware resources by a user and battery health per battery segment. A penalty score is determined for tasks based upon the user preferences for tasks having no penalty, and task performance including at least one of frequency of utilization, memory utilization, task dependency characteristics and task memory hierarchy. The penalty performance is a value including both the user preference and the task performance. Tasks can then be put into at least one of hibernation mode and sleep mode dictated by their penalty performance during the thresholds for battery power.
