  • Patent number: 11394735
    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to deploying and utilizing a dynamic record identification and analysis computer system with event monitoring components. A computing device may receive account reconnaissance data identifying a first plurality of user accounts that have experienced at least one event associated with account security concern characteristics. The computing platform may analyze event history data associated with the first plurality of user accounts to identify one or more common interactions associated with a subset of the first plurality of user accounts. The computing platform may identify a point of compromise among the subset of the first plurality of user accounts. Subsequently, the computing platform may search enterprise user account records to identify a second plurality of user accounts that have at least one event associated with the point of compromise. The computing platform may add the second plurality of user accounts to an alert table.

  • Patent number: 10076988
    Abstract: Present embodiments provide an automated system for laying pipe which includes various clearing functions in order to clear impingements and jams of pipe being fed to a conveyor or other structure while dispensing the pipe from the trailer. Some embodiments include uprights which are adjustable to increase the carrying capacity of piping. Other embodiments provide adjustable members which raise and lower to aid in clearing the pipe. Other embodiments provide a gate or arm which may be actuated to push or hold pipes back allowing one pipe to feed at a time. Still further, a transition cradle may be utilized to hold pipes back and actuate a single pipe. These features allow for clearing of various types of jams in the feed process so that a single pipe may be cleanly actuated to a conveyor for feeding from the vehicle.

  • Publication number: 20180191712
    Abstract: Systems and arrangements for detecting unauthorized activity and implementing proactive controls to avoid future occurrences of unauthorized activity are provided. The system may receive one or more occurrences of unauthorized activity and may identify similar pairs of occurrences. The pairs of occurrences may then be compared to generate occurrence clusters. The occurrence clusters may be analyzed to determine a common merchant or other attribute. This common merchant or other attribute may be used to query a database to identify one or more devices also associated with the merchant or attribute. One or more proactive controls may then be implemented on the identified devices.

  • Publication number: 20180165681
    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to detection of unauthorized usage in debit card transactions using a transaction management computing platform and an analytics computing platform. A computing platform may monitor a plurality of transactions at an automated teller machine. Subsequently, the computing platform may identify at least one unusual activity in the plurality of transactions at the automated teller machine. In response to identifying the at least one unusual activity in the plurality of transactions, the computing may analyze each account corresponding to the plurality of transactions to identify a common point of purchase for a subset of accounts. Thereafter, the computing platform may flag the subset of accounts for unauthorized usage.

  • Publication number: 20170221167
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer-readable media for identifying unauthorized activity events, assessing the unauthorized activity event and evaluating a potential impact of the unauthorized activity event are provided. In some examples, upon detection of an unauthorized activity event, merchant data may be received for a first evaluation time period. If a sufficient number of events has occurred in the first evaluation time period, additional data may be retrieved and analyzed to determine a control limit related to an expected rate of events. The number of events in the first evaluation time period may then be compared to the control limit and, if the number exceeds the control limit, a priority score for the merchant may be generated. Additional data, such as merchant category, particular state, and/or particular city data, may be analyzed in order to provide a more granular evaluation of a merchant.

  • Patent number: 7871235
    Abstract: An improved front loading or side loading refuse collection body includes an ejector panel which is moveable from a position immediately adjacent the front end of the storage compartment of the refuse collection body to a second position at the open rear end of the storage compartment. A compaction blade in a compaction chamber adjacent the front end of the storage compartment is independently driven by a second hydraulic ram. The ejector panel has an opening which is in registry with the compaction blade such that refuse propelled by the compaction blade moves into the storage compartment when the ejector panel is positioned adjacent the front end of the storage compartment.

  • Patent number: 7563066
    Abstract: An improved front loading or side loading refuse collection body includes an ejector panel which is moveable from a position immediately adjacent the front end wall of the storage compartment of the refuse collection body to a second position at the open rear end of the storage compartment. A compaction blade in a compaction chamber adjacent the front end of the storage compartment is independently driven by a second hydraulic ram. The ejector panel has an opening which is in registry with the opening in the front wall of the storage compartment through which refuse is pushed by the compaction blade. A tray member may be fixed to a side of the ejector panel to catch refuse which falls back through the opening in the ejector panel when it is moved away from the front end of the storage compartment. A multiple compartment body may include two compaction chambers each adjacent one of two storage compartments.

  • Patent number: 5564258
    Abstract: A load is stretch wrapped with a sheet of stretch wrap packaging material by adhering a leading end portion of the sheet to a holding member, dispensing the sheet from a stretch wrap dispenser, and providing relative rotation between the dispenser and the load to wrap the sheet of stretch wrap packaging material on a load. The leading end portion of the sheet is released from the holding member, and a trailing end portion of the sheet is adhered to the holding member. The packaging material between the load and the holding member is severed while being held by the holding member. The sheet of stretch wrap packaging material is held in place against the holding member with a vacuum or by a tacky surface. The severing is accomplished by a hot wire on the holding member.

  • Patent number: 5558840
    Abstract: A device for holding and positioning a specimen cup for collection of a biological specimen with a ring (18) with a handle (14) attached by a hinge (24). The ring (18) receives and securely supports a specimen cup. The hinge (24) allows the handle (14) to assume folded or extended positions relative to the ring (18). The handle (14) extends outward and upward from the ring (18) when in use, thereby, removing one's hand from the specimen cup. One can then more easily hold and position the specimen cup without soiling their hand with the specimen. The hinge (24) also allows the handle (14) to be folded and secured to the ring (18) to facilitate packaging.

  • Patent number: 5413800
    Abstract: A novel process for the preparation of food products comprising rapid total surface heating via high intensity short wave infra-red. A variety of food products can benefit from such a preparation, for example coated products, meat products and vegetables which are heat treated before packaging in order to seal the product and produce a crisp outer layer, those products are then further heated/cooked by the consumer before consumption.
