  • Publication number: 20240070641
    Abstract: Systems and methods for P2P transaction functionality include payment collection from a third party source. A system includes at least one processor and a storage medium storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the at least one processor to perform operations including receiving transaction information from a vendor where a card was used and analyzing the transaction information. The operations also include sending one or more requests for repayment to one or more P2P service systems, receiving repayment information, regarding one or more repayments, from the one or more P2P service systems and, based on the repayment information, applying the one or more repayments to the transaction performed on the card.

  • Patent number: 11915412
    Abstract: A cortical malformation identification method includes quantitatively evaluating, using a processor of a computer that includes the processor and a memory, digital image data from a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan on a cerebral cortex to produce quantified scan data. The method also includes automatically detecting a cortical malformation based on the quantified scan data. An image of the cerebral cortex may be color-coded so that the cortical malformation is shown in a different color than the remainder of the cerebral cortex in the image, based on the quantified scan data. Additionally or alternatively, a 3-dimensional representation of the cerebral cortex may be mapped to the quantified scan data to produce a mapped image of the cerebral cortex including the detected cortical malformation.

  • Patent number: 11876616
    Abstract: Various examples relate to a wired local area network (WLAN) including a shared transmission medium. An apparatus includes a beacon counter and an operational mode controller. The beacon counter is operably coupled to a line of a shared transmission medium of a wired local area network. The beacon counter is to count beacon signals on the line and determine a beacon count over a predetermined time period, or a beacon rate of the beacon signals. The operational mode controller is to control the apparatus to take over operation as a master node of the wired local area network based, at least in part, on a maximum bus cycle length of bus cycles on the line and responsive to the beacon count or the beacon rate.

  • Patent number: 11332191
    Abstract: A trailer sideswipe avoidance system for a vehicle towing a trailer is provided herein. The trailer sideswipe avoidance system includes a sensor system configured to detect objects in an operating environment of the vehicle. A controller receiving inputs from the sensor system is configured to determine a travel path of the towed trailer as the vehicle turns, determine whether an object detected in the operating environment of the vehicle is in the travel path of the towed trailer, determine a time until sideswiping of the object with the towed trailer, compare the time until sideswiping with a threshold time value, and prompt one or more vehicle systems to execute a sideswipe avoidance measure when the time until sideswiping is less than the threshold time value.

  • Patent number: 11176210
    Abstract: Techniques for improving dynamic content retrieval are described. In an example, a system may receive a request for content. The request may be associated with an access by a computing device to a network document. The system may determine a context associated with the network document based on the request. The content may be pre-computed based on historical accesses to a network resource. The system may determine a match between the context and a pre-computed context that is associated with content and may select the content from a set of candidate content based on an intent description of a content provider and historical behavior data of visitors to the network resource. The intent description may be associated with a presentation of the content at the network resource. The system may provide an identifier of the content. The identifier may be usable to present the content at the computing device.
