  • Publication number: 20230110704
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for performing economic nexus determination by a transaction processing system. The method may include accessing a plurality of transactions associated with a plurality of merchant systems processed by the transaction processing system over a period of time. The method may also include inferring a geographic location, from among a plurality of geographic locations, for each of the plurality of transactions based on one or more transaction parameters. Then, the method may include aggregating a total revenue per geographic location per merchant system based on the inference of geographic location determined from the one or more transaction parameters. For a merchant and for a geographic location for which said merchant has location based revenue within the geographic location, the method may include applying an economic nexus rule corresponding to the geographic location, and determining when the economic nexus rule corresponding to the geographic location is satisfied.

  • Publication number: 20190146808
    Abstract: An online system allows a web page user to establish a session with an agent that allows the agent to view and interact with a web page provided to the user. The online system transmits a session identifier to the user, which the user provides to an agent of the online system to connect to the user's session. Both the user and the agent can view and interact with the web page. The user's interactions with the web page are communicated to the agent's device through page events and the agent's interactions with the web page are communicated to the user's device through requests for page events. The page events can be used to play back the session in the future without capturing video data.

  • Patent number: 8390308
    Abstract: There is disclosed an electronic testbed, an electronic testbed board, and a method for positioning receptacles for nails in the electronic testbed board. In an embodiment, the electronic testbed board includes a mounting through-hole for mounting a receptacle for a nail. The mounting through-hole is drilled to a suitably precise diameter for mounting the receptacle substantially perpendicular to the testbed board. One or more via-holes are located adjacent the mounting through-hole, and are adapted to allow an electrical connection between any conductive layers provided at the one or more via-holes. The receptacle may be mounted more accurately and the electronic test bed may be built more accurately by separating the functions of the via-holes and the mounting through-hole.
