  • Patent number: 11842389
    Abstract: Account allocation and management systems and methods are described. A server generates an interactive web interface on a user device including an account creation tool having user input tools for creating a user-defined first account. The server continually monitors account condition data from among plural financial systems. The server determines a proposed combination including plural second accounts selected from among the financial systems, based on the monitored data and at least one user input indication, where the proposed combination includes optimized account characteristics. The proposed combination including a portion of the optimized characteristics are displayed on the interactive web interface. Responsive to a confirmation from the user device, the user-defined first account is created that includes the plural second accounts. The server, responsive to detecting a change in the monitored data, automatically rebalances one or more among the second accounts in accordance with the detected change.

  • Publication number: 20230393240
    Abstract: In accordance with an embodiment, a method includes estimating a people count of one or more persons included in the scene based on a first range-Doppler measurement map and the second range-Doppler measurement map derived from a radar measurement dataset. Estimating the people count includes inputting the first range-Doppler measurement map into a first data processing pipeline of a neural network algorithm, and inputting the second range-Doppler measurement map into a second data processing pipeline of the neural network algorithm. The first data processing pipeline and the second data processing pipeline includes range-Doppler convolutional layers implementing two-dimensional convolutions along the range dimension and the Doppler dimension, and the neural network algorithm includes an output section for processing a combination of a first output of the first data processing pipeline and a second output of the second data processing pipeline in a regression block.

  • Patent number: 11015720
    Abstract: A closed-loop control valve module for closed-loop controlling a fluid flow is described, which comprises an electrical valve actuator motor, wherein a valve spindle comprising a frustoconical sealing section is displaceable by means of the valve actuator motor along a valve spindle axis and the frustoconical sealing section, depending on the position of the valve spindle, releases or separates off a flow channel connecting a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet. A pressure compensation channel is provided which, at least in the closed state of the closed-loop control valve module, connects an end of the valve spindle opposite the valve actuator motor to a pressure compensation area or the fluid inlet in terms of flow.

  • Patent number: 10824981
    Abstract: Various examples are directed to systems and methods for orchestrating a first transaction workflow performed by a plurality of microservices. An orchestration service may write to a first tracking log a first log entry for a first action of the plurality of actions. The first tracking log may be stored at a persistent storage location that, for example, is accessible in the event that the orchestration service crashes. The first log entry may describe an initial state of the first action. The orchestration service may also write a second log entry for a second action of the plurality of actions to the first tracking log. The second log entry may describe an initial state of the second action. The orchestration service may determine that the first microservice successfully completed the first action and that the second microservice failed to complete the second action. The orchestration service may initiate a compensation action to reverse the first action.

  • Patent number: 10197070
    Abstract: The invention relates to a diffusor having a wall (8) that encloses an inlet having a round cross-section that transitions into an angular cross-section on the outlet of the diffusor over the height of the wall (8) of the diffusor. The transitions (15) between the sides (34 to 37) of the wall (8) have a twist in the height direction that follows the twirl of the flow of air through the diffusor. The ventilator has such a diffusor. The device has a housing on which at least two ventilators, each having one diffusor, are arranged.
