Patent number: 11966468Abstract: Examples are disclosed for detecting synthetic online entities that may be used for fraudulent purposes or other purposes. In some aspects, a computing system can generate a data structure that includes nodes and links between the nodes. The nodes can represent online entities and the links can represent geographic associations or transactional associations between pairs of online entities. These associations can be identified from electronic transactions involving the online entities. The computing system can determine, from the links between the nodes, that a degree of connectivity among a subset of the nodes exceeds a threshold connectivity. The degree of connectivity indicates electronic communications involving online entities represented by the subset of the nodes. The computing system can transmit, based on the degree of connectivity exceeding the threshold connectivity, an alert indicating a potential synthetic entity (e.g., potentially fraudulent activity) within the subset of the nodes.Type: GrantFiled: March 4, 2021Date of Patent: April 23, 2024Assignee: Equifax Inc.Inventors: Stephen Leitner, Mark Burgess, Keith Manthey, Steven Hicklin

Publication number: 20240117073Abstract: The present invention relates to specific binding members, particularly antibodies and fragments thereof, which bind to amplified epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and to the de2-7 EGFR truncation of the EGFR. In particular, the epitope recognized by the specific binding members, particularly antibodies and fragments thereof, is enhanced or evident upon aberrant post-translational modification. These specific binding members are useful in the diagnosis and treatment of cancer. The binding members of the present invention may also be used in therapy in combination with chemotherapeutics or anti-cancer agents and/or with other antibodies or fragments thereof.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 26, 2023Publication date: April 11, 2024Inventors: Lloyd J.

Patent number: 10626789Abstract: A two-stage valve assembly for a turbocharger includes a movable primary valve adapted to open and close a valve seat of the turbocharger. The primary valve has at least one opening extending axially therethrough. The two-stage valve assembly also includes a movable secondary valve coupled to the primary valve to open and close the at least one opening of the primary valve. The two-stage valve assembly further includes a spring disposed between the primary valve and the secondary valve to seat the secondary valve against the primary valve. The secondary valve is adapted to be coupled to a valve arm of the turbocharger such that relative small movement of the valve arm causes the secondary valve to move and open the opening to allow some exhaust gas of the turbocharger to escape through the at least one opening without moving the primary valve relative to the valve seat.Type: GrantFiled: January 26, 2018Date of Patent: April 21, 2020Assignee: BorgWarner Inc.Inventors: Andrew Paul Day, Mark Burgess

Patent number: 10378557Abstract: An air flow-enhancing insert (30) is configured to be inserted into the air inlet (16) of a compressor (3). The insert includes a hollow, cylindrical inner member (32) and lugs (44) protruding outward from an outer surface (36) of the inner member, each lug having an elongated cross sectional shape and including a leading edge (46), a trailing edge (48), and a long axis (50) that extends between the leading edge and trailing edge, the long axis defining a helix about the outer surface. When the insert (30) is disposed in the compressor air inlet, an air recirculation path (20) is defined between the inner member outer surface, an inner surface (17) of the air inlet, and the lugs. The air recirculation path improves air flow in the compressor, whereby compressor efficiency is improved and noise is reduced.Type: GrantFiled: November 20, 2014Date of Patent: August 13, 2019Assignee: BorgWarner Inc.Inventor: Mark Burgess

Publication number: 20160024998Abstract: A turbocharger includes a turbine section and a compressor section. The turbine section includes a turbine housing (1) that surrounds a turbine wheel (15). The turbine housing (1) defines an exhaust gas inlet (2), a duct (6) that extends between the inlet (2) and the turbine wheel (15), and a wastegate opening (5) in the duct (6). A, butterfly-type wastegate valve (3) including a valve plate (10) and a rotatable shaft (11) is disposed in the opening (5) and rotates between an open position and a closed position. A spring (4) is attached to the shaft (11) to bias (4) the shaft (11) toward rotation about a longitudinal axis in a first direction; wherein pressure of a gas flowing in the exhaust duct (6) against the valve plate (10) causes a rotary motion of the valve plate (10) and rotatable shaft (11) against the spring bias in a second direction.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 12, 2014Publication date: January 28, 2016Applicant: BorgWarner Inc.Inventors: Andrew DAY, Mark BURGESS, Adam SAMUELS

Patent number: 8862566Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for conducting intelligent parallel searches of data sources. A search engine receives a request to access target data that is stored in at least one of multiple data sources. Each data source has a candidate index. The search engine extracts inquiry parameters from the request. The inquiry parameters corresponds to sub-indices of respective general indices. Each general index includes an index of relationships between data from at least two of the data sources. Each sub-index includes a subset of the respective general index. The search engine performs parallel searches of the general indices common to the data sources. Each parallel search includes searching the sub-indices based on corresponding inquiry parameters for the sub-indices. The search engine performs additional parallel searches of the candidate indices based on results of the parallel searches. The search engine extracts an output from results of the additional parallel searches.Type: GrantFiled: October 26, 2012Date of Patent: October 14, 2014Assignee: Equifax, Inc.Inventors: Stephen Leitner, Kevin W.
