Patent number: 11842389Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: June 6, 2022Date of Patent: December 12, 2023Assignee: RAISIN SOLUTIONS US LLCInventors: Iñigo San Martin, Paul Knodel, Michael Stephan

Publication number: 20200391551Abstract: A non-pneumatic support structure for a wheel having an axis of rotation for use in tires and wheel assemblies for a vehicle is provided. The non-pneumatic support structure includes one or more anisotropic parabolic discs. The one or more anisotropic parabolic discs are configured to allow deformation parallel to an axis of rotation of the wheel with the ground and to substantially favor lateral deformation over radial deformation. The non-pneumatic support structure may be incorporated into a tire, or an indivisible tire and wheel assembly. A tire or tire and wheel assembly incorporating a non-pneumatic support structure includes a radial ground contacting tread. Further, a tire or tire and wheel assembly incorporating a non-pneumatic support structure will deform parallel to the axis of rotation in response to impact, load or shear to increase the area of the ground contacting tread in contact with the ground.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 31, 2019Publication date: December 17, 2020Inventor: Michael Stephan Overholt

Patent number: 10824981Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: April 24, 2017Date of Patent: November 3, 2020Assignee: SAP SEInventors: Oleg Koutyrine, Michael Stephan
