Abstract: Retrieval of mortgage documents is faster and simpler for auditing purposes. Network addresses and other sourcing data may be hashed and integrated into a blockchain. The sourcing data identifies a device, server, or other network location from which the mortgage documents may be retrieved. Any auditor receiving the blockchain may thus perform a reverse lookup to retrieve the mortgage documents. The auditor merely queries for a cryptographic source key to determine the network location storing the corresponding mortgage document.

Abstract: Adjustable device settings is described herein. In one or more implementations, a client device is configured with device settings that are compatible with multiple different geographical locations. The client device attaches to a wireless network via a wireless radio of the client device, and receives location information from the attached wireless network. The client device determines a current geographical location of the client device based at least in part on the location information received from the wireless network, and adjusts the device settings of the client device to conform to location-specific settings of the current geographical location.

Abstract: An approach for debugging a circuit implementation of a software specification includes translating a high-level language debugging command into a hardware debugging command that specifies the value(s) of a condition in the circuit implementation, and a storage element(s) at which the value(s) of the condition is stored. The hardware debugging command is transmitted to a debug controller circuit that generates a single clock pulse to the circuit implementation. The debug controller circuit reads a value(s) from the storage element(s) specified by the hardware debugging command and determines whether or not the value(s) satisfies the condition. The debug controller circuit generates another single clock pulse in response to the value(s) read from the storage element(s) not satisfying the condition. Generation of pulses of the clock signal is suspended and data indicative of a breakpoint is output in response to the value(s) read from the storage element(s) satisfying the condition.

Abstract: Systems and methods for improving perceived image quality of an electronic display, which includes a co-located sub-pixel that controls luminance of a first color component and an offset sub-pixel that controls luminance of a second color component. A display pipeline communicatively coupled to the electronic display determines image data, which indicates target luminance of the first, the second, and a third color component at an image pixel; determines edge parameters, which indicate whether an edge is expected to be present at the offset sub-pixel, based on a difference metric between a first image pixel block around the offset sub-pixel and a second image pixel block offset from the first image pixel block; and determines offset sub-pixel image data by filtering an image pixel group around the offset sub-pixel based at least in part on the edge parameters, wherein the offset sub-pixel image data indicates target luminance of the offset sub-pixel.

Abstract: The present invention is generally directed to methods, systems, and computer program products for routing order lookups from retail systems. Order data from order management system database is synchronized to an order cache. When an order lookup is received (e.g., from a retail kiosk or POS terminal), a business layer determines if the cache can appropriately service the order lookup. If so (e.g., if the order lookup does not change order state), the business layer routes the order lookup to the cache. Otherwise (e.g., if the order lookup does change order state), the business layer routes the order lookup to the order management system database. In-store retail systems can be used to lookup orders previously submitted through other channels, such as, a website or mobile application. Knowing order details for other orders can assist the customer with in-store purchasing decisions.

Abstract: Access to a secure resource is controlled. Data relating to social media history information, demographic information, and psychometric information regarding a user having access to a secure resource is mined by a computer system. Mined data that indicates a potential security risk that meets a predefined security criteria with respect to the secure resource is identified by the computer system. A security risk level based on the identified data is determined. A level of access to the secure resource by the user computing device is set, based on one or more predetermined threshold values that are met, in response to a determination regarding such. Access is granted to the secure resource in accordance with the set level of access, in response to receiving a request to access the secure resource by the computer system.
