Abstract: A peripheral visual training system using a peripheral visual trainer that includes an orientation monitor operably mounted on an athlete's head or an a helmet that is secured to the athlete's head as the athlete participates in an activity to help the athlete develop his or her peripheral vision by alerting the athlete through an alarm to concentrate on using peripheral vision rather than central vision when the peripheral visual trainer detects the athlete is using central vision for an object that should be viewed using peripheral vision.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a computer system includes a cache having one or more memories and a metadata service. The metadata service is able to receive requests for data stored in the cache from a first client and from a second client. The metadata service is further able to determine whether the performance of the cache would be improved by relocating the data stored in the cache. The metadata service is further operable to relocate the data stored in the cache when such relocation would improve the performance of the cache.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention include a dynamic and auditable rules-based spend requirement management (SRM) server configured to receive transaction data associated with a payment transaction involving an issuer of an account, where the account is associated with a first set of account level requirements (e.g., a minimum spend requirement) and a first interchange rate. The SRM is further configured to determine that the transaction data is not within the first set of account level requirements, but is within a second set of account level requirements associated with a second interchange rate, and associate the account to the second set of account level requirements by way of a final product identifier stored in a database accessible by a payment processing network (PPN).

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided to facilitate the generation and notification of transactions associated with account features. In one aspect, a system includes a transaction handler to process transactions and a data warehouse to store transaction data recording the transactions, account data identifying at least one account feature of an account, and rules data identifying at least one qualification requirement. The system further includes a feature offer engine to use the rules data to monitor the transactions in the account to identify a first transaction, a notification engine to provide the account holder with an offer associated with a first account feature in real time with processing of the first transaction, and a portal to receive an approval of a second transaction in accordance with the offer.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided to facilitate the sharing of account features. In one aspect, a system includes a transaction handler to process transactions and a data warehouse to record the transactions and store account data identifying account features of separate accounts, such as a second account having a feature and a first account without this feature. Account holders of the first and second accounts are in a same household and thus, in accordance with a set of rules, eligible to share the account features. A portal is configured to receive a request identifying the first account and to determine whether a transaction initiated in the first account and qualified for a benefit of the account feature is entitled to the benefit; and if so, a notification engine is to transmit a notification message to an account holder of the first account.

Abstract: An optical tracking system wherein an analog computer program is operated multaneously with a real projectile firing. The program is forced to match its output of projectile position with real-time data. When no data is available, the analog program acts as a very sophisticated flywheel to keep optical tracking mounts continuously positioned very closely to the actual target position until it can be reacquired.
