Publication number: 20230315264Abstract: A system and method for investigating trust scores. A trust score is calculated based on peer transfers, a graphical user interface displays actuatable elements associated with a first peer transfer from the peer transfers, in response to receiving an indication the first actuatable element has been actuated, recalculating the trust score without the first peer transfer.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 3, 2023Publication date: October 5, 2023Inventors: Alex Grigoryan, Avinash Gangadharan, Akshay Peshave, Michael Morgan, Rhys Howell

Patent number: 10127501Abstract: A system and method for determining confidence scores for accounts based on peer-to-peer interactions. One or more clustering algorithms are applied to a database of peer-to-peer interactions to identify and group related peer-to-peer interactions. A classifying algorithm is applied to a group resulting from the one or more clustering algorithms that classifies each peer-to-peer interaction within the group based on one or more relationships between the peer-to-peer interactions with the group. A score is provided to each transaction in the group based at least in part on the classification. The system uses the score to change functionality of at least one of the accounts associated with one of the transactions and/or provides information regarding the trustworthiness of a user of an account.Type: GrantFiled: December 30, 2015Date of Patent: November 13, 2018Assignee: PAYPAL, INC.Inventors: Alex Grigoryan, Avinash Gangadharan, Akshay Peshave, Michael Morgan, Rhys Howell

Patent number: 10030943Abstract: FIG. 7 shows an air cannon system loaded with a launch canister containing a prop-fouler. A pressure vessel (28) contains an inlet including a poppet valve (100) that, upon command, can be selectively placed in either a one-way flow position to permit charging of the pressure vessel or otherwise opened to trigger rapid discharge through pressure equalization with the ambient environment. The air cannon may include multiple splayed barrels or a single barrel (158). A launch canister (202), realized in the form of a tube, has a driving plate (350) that closes an end of the launch tube. The driving plate is the first point loaded into the barrel. Within the launch canister (202) a first portion of a floating prop-fouling line is stored. The prop-fouling line, such as made from Dyneema®, has at its ends two drogues that, upon entry into the water, fill with water to produce drag resistance to movement of the prop-fouling line.Type: GrantFiled: June 4, 2014Date of Patent: July 24, 2018Assignee: BCB INTERNATIONAL LIMITEDInventors: Matthew Searle, William Mark Hocking, Andrew Rhys Howell, Derek William Taylor

Publication number: 20140331374Abstract: A protective undergarment (10), shown in the form of shorts, includes integrally formed protective panels (22, 26, 30) that exhibit slash-proof properties. The protective areas (22, 26, 30) are made from a flexible Kevlar® knit or the like, and extend to cover the groin, crotch, substantial areas of the buttocks and the inner thigh regions of both legs. The protective panels (22, 26, 30) are externally snitched to a low thermal burden material (18, 20), such as a polyester mesh, that provides elasticity and completes the structure of the shorts (10). The Kevlar® knit is flexible and preferably lies directly against the skin of a user to provide blast wave and ballistic fragment deflection whilst permitting mobility in a lightweight arrangement. Varying thickness of the Kevlar® knit can be used in the protective areas (22, 26, 30) selectively to enhance protection against blast wave and fragment penetration.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 3, 2014Publication date: November 13, 2014Applicant: BCB INTERNATIONAL LIMITEDInventors: Andrew Rhys Howell, Matthew Searle, Christopher Mark Lewis, William Mark Hocking
