  • Patent number: 10257967
    Abstract: A splice device for electromagnetically sealing a junction or bond between a plurality of cables is provided. A first and second cable each has a conductive core wire, an inner insulation, a braided sleeve, and an insulating cover. The junction or bond fixes and electrically connects the core wire of the second cable to the core wire of the first cable.

  • Patent number: 8690588
    Abstract: A junction box assembly includes a housing member and an electrical component. The housing member has a housing surface and a component receptacle having a pair of opposing sidewalls coupled to the housing surface. Each sidewall has a locking opening disposed therein and each locking opening defines a locking surface. A post is arranged within the component receptacle and extends from the housing surface for a predetermined distance to a post surface. The electrical component is received in the component receptacle and has a component surface adjacent the post surface and a barb received in each locking opening. The post applies a force to the electrical component for retaining the barb against the locking surface.

  • Patent number: 8412633
    Abstract: Systems and methods for evaluating electronic value transfers. Various of the methods include receiving money transfer requests, electronically storing records of the money transfer requests, and performing an analysis of the records. The analysis of the records can indicate that two or more of the records are related. The related records are associated with a reference designator that is used to search money transfer records and identify suspect activity. The systems can include a fraud processing system associated with a money transfer system.

  • Patent number: 7386510
    Abstract: A system and method that determines when fraudulent activity, such as relates to a credit card, etc., may be imminent. The system and method of the invention allows for warning a credit issuer of probable fraudulent activity at an early stage. Probable fraudulent activity is determined by: receiving at a receiving center an authorization request from a user for a dollar amount; and determining, using a fraud test, if the authorization request is likely to be indicative of fraudulent activity.

  • Publication number: 20070073617
    Abstract: A system and method for evaluating records of money transfers for suspicious or irregular transaction patterns. A fraud processing server evaluates money transfer records by blocks, each block consisting of records having the same characteristic relating to location, such as the country where the transfer originates. A second characteristic of the records, such as value, sending agent, or time-of-day, is aggregated and compared to a threshold value. If the threshold value is met, the block of records is analyzed to identify individual records that are suspicious or irregular.
