Publication number: 20250232118Abstract: A system is provided for machine-learning based identification and filtering of electronic network communication. In particular, the system may continuously monitor and pull electronic communications data from one or more networked computing systems in an enterprise environment. Based on the electronic communications data, the system may use machine learning algorithms to generate a database of associations between one or more users and one or more topics of interest. The system may then output one or more recommendations to one or more users for transmitting communications associated with the one or more topics of interest. In this way, the system may improve the efficiency of communications received and transmitted within a network.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 31, 2025Publication date: July 17, 2025Applicant: BANK OF AMERICA CORPORATIONInventors: George Anthony Albero, Maharaj Mukherjee, Elijah Clark, Madhavi Mendu, Michael B.

Patent number: 12106618Abstract: A keysafe includes a housing, a door, a locking mechanism, a wireless communications interface, and an inhibitor system. The housing defines an internal compartment structured to receive a key fob for a vehicle. The door is positioned to enclose the internal compartment. The locking mechanism is positioned to selectively lock the door to prevent access to the internal compartment. The wireless communications interface is configured to facilitate wireless communication with an external device. The inhibitor system includes a coil disposed around the internal compartment, a battery disposed within the housing and coupled to the coil, and a controller. The controller is configured to energize the coil with the battery to inhibit communication between the key fob and the vehicle, receive a deactivation signal from the external device via the wireless communications interface, and de-energize the coil in response to receiving the deactivation signal to permit the communication.Type: GrantFiled: January 30, 2023Date of Patent: October 1, 2024Assignee: Master Lock Company LLCInventors: Michael B. Jonely, Scott Kalous
