Abstract: A method for evaluating adherence to funding rules includes: storing transaction data entries, each including a controlled payment number (CPN), a merchant category code, transaction date, and transaction data, where the CPN is subject to a first spend control setting a maximum spend amount during a predetermined time interval; identifying a group of transaction data entries that includes a transaction date within a predetermined period of time; identifying a subset of the group of transaction data entries where the merchant category code is one of a set indicated in a funding adherence rule; determining an adherence score for the CPN based on a ratio of a number of transaction data entries in the subset to a number of transaction data entries in the group; and modifying the first spend control to adjust the maximum spend amount based on the adherence score and funding adherence rule.

Abstract: A process for producing acetic acid is disclosed in which the methyl iodide concentration is maintained in the vapor product stream formed in a flashing step. The methyl iodide concentration in the vapor product stream ranges from 24 to less than 36 wt. % methyl iodide, based on the weight of the vapor product stream. In addition, the acetaldehyde concentration is maintained within the range from 0.005 to 1 wt. % in the vapor product stream. The vapor product stream is distilled in a first column to obtain an acetic acid product stream comprising acetic acid and up to 300 wppm hydrogen iodide and/or from 0.1 to 6 wt. % methyl iodide and an overhead stream comprising methyl iodide, water and methyl acetate.

Abstract: The present invention is a bed warming device that safely and effectively warms the interior space between the fitted sheet and the top sheet of a bed. The bed warming device includes a heating element similar to those used in hair dryers. The device includes a suction member that suctions ambient air to be heated and delivers it through a narrowing portion that increases the pressure of the heated air. The pressurized, heated air is then expelled to preselected locations of the bed using a plurality of openings located throughout the perimeter of the device's T-shaped hot air delivery assembly. The hot air delivery assembly can include raised portions configured to create a space between the openings and the top bed sheet, thereby maintaining efficient air flow.

Abstract: A conductor on glass security layer may be located within a printed circuit board (PCB) of a crypto adapter card or within a daughter card upon the crypto adapter card. The conductor on glass security layer includes a glass dielectric layer that remains intact in the absence of point force loading and shatters when a point load punctures or otherwise contacts the glass dielectric layer. The conductor on glass security layer also includes a conductive security trace upon the glass dielectric layer. A physical access attempt shatters a majority of the glass dielectric layer, which in turn fractures the security trace. A monitoring circuit that monitors the resistance of the conductive security trace detects the resultant open circuit or change in security trace resistance and initiates a tamper signal that which may be received by one or more computer system devices to respond to the unauthorized attempt of physical access.
