Abstract: An apparatus and method for analysis of preservation requirements using a dual-predictor architecture, wherein the apparatus includes a processor and memory communicatively connected to the at least a processor, the memory containing instructions configuring the at least a processor receive a sustainment profile, identify at least a preservation need as a function of a deterioration predictor, wherein the deterioration predictor is configured to output a plurality of rates corresponding to a plurality of physical process variables, determine at least a relative advantage of a maintenance program as a function of an advantage predictor, wherein the advantage predictor is configured to receive the preservation need as input and output the maintenance program and the relative advantage, and display, through a graphical user interface, the at least a preservation need and relative advantage.

Abstract: An apparatus for integrated optimization-guided interpolation in datasets includes at least a processor, and a memory communicatively configuring the at least a processor, the memory containing instructions configuring the at least a processor to receive a first dataset having a known degree of completion, receive a second dataset having an unknown degree of completion, identify at least a missing feature in the second data set, determine that at least a missing feature is a necessary feature, wherein determining further includes determining that the at least a missing feature is a necessary feature according to at least an optimization criterion, interpolate at least an additional datum into the second data set, wherein the at least an additional datum is a substitute for the missing feature, perform a comparative process using the first dataset and the interpolated second dataset, and configure a remote device to display a result of the comparative process.

Abstract: A method of effecting an incentive transaction involves a computer server receiving a transaction notification message that identifies a financial transaction. The server is in communication with a database of incentive plans, each comprising a plan definition that defines an incentive transaction to be transacted with an incentive account. Each plan is associated with plan participants by participant identifiers. Each participant identifier is uniquely associated with their plan participant. The incentive account is jointly associated with the plurality of plan participants. The notification message includes a product code and the participant identifier of one plan participant.

Abstract: A system and process is provided for reporting new business production. Information from a plurality of sources related to new business production of related products, such as insurance, is gathered in a central location. A standard format for the information is provided. The information is provided from the central location to one or more users. The reporting capabilities to ensure that information about new business for varying products, such as insurance, is provided in a standardized manner.

Abstract: A modem is implemented as a virtual device driver with all processing handled by the host computer thus obviating the need for a stand alone processor for the modem. The modem virtual device driver ensures that the modem obtains adequate processing time regardless of other processes running on the host. By combining a port driver directly into the modem contact code, the need for a hardware UART with its attendant limitations is eliminated.
