Abstract: A fishing reel includes a frame, a spool coupled to the frame for rotation about a rotational axis, a light source, a first optic, a sensor, a second optic, a controller, and a braking mechanism. The spool includes a first flange and a second flange. The first optic is positioned such that light emanating from the light source and passing through the first optic generates a substantially collimated band of light parallel with the rotational axis. The second optic is positioned and configured to focus the substantially collimated band of light toward the sensor. The controller is electrically coupled to the sensor and is configured to receive signals from the sensor and to generate a braking signal. The braking mechanism is electrically coupled to the controller, and the braking mechanism applies a braking force to slow the spool in response to the braking signal.

Abstract: Technology is described for generating a tax return document. In one example, a payment service system presents a user interface on a mobile device of a user. Based on user selection of an icon of the user interface, the payment service system determines tax liability of the user and generates tax return documents on behalf of the user. The tax liability and tax return documentation is based at least in part on a user profile of the user stored at the payment service system and on financial data associated with services provided to the user by the payment service system.

Abstract: Technology is described for managing a user account. An example method includes: a payment service system (PSS) monitoring in real-time transactions of users, receiving a request from a user to complete a transaction, and dynamically determining a predicted tax liability amount for the transaction that increases or decreases a total tax liability of the user. The PSS then displays the predicted tax liability amount on a display of the users device with a request for confirmation to continue with the transaction. If confirmation is received, the PSS modifies tax liability information for the user that reflects the completed transaction. The user may also cancel the transaction responsive to receiving the predicted tax liability amount.

A bezel is positioned at the first end of the cylindrical housing. The bezel includes a top surface and a rear surface. The bezel's shape and design may vary. An LED light is provided. The LED light may vary in color, brightness, etc. depending on the desired application. During installation, the cylindrical housing is configured to be inserted through a mounting hole on a mounting surface and the rear surface of the bezel is configured to mounted flush with the mounting surface creating a low profile installed LED bolt with only the bezel visible.

Abstract: Technology is described for managing a user account. An example method includes: a payment service system (PSS) receiving payroll funds for a user having an account with the PSS, and generating a tax payment account on behalf of the user. The PSS determines an amount of the payroll funds (or other income funds) to divert to the tax payment account based on tax liability information. Furthermore, the PSS determines, based on transaction information associated with the user account, a modified amount of the income funds to divert to the tax payment account, and the PSS causes the modified amount of the payroll funds to be diverted to the tax payment account.

Abstract: Technology is described for implementing and managing loans made against projected tax refunds. In one example, a payment service system receives a request for a loan against an expected tax refund for a user. The payment service system can determine a confidence score for loan repayment and can generate an offer for the loan based on the confidence score. Upon acceptance of the offer, the user can be provided with funds for the loan.
