  • Patent number: 11488080
    Abstract: A method may include retrieving from a data store default values of intersections of a first type of characteristic of an entity and a second type of characteristics of the entity; presenting a first portion of a user interface on an electronic display device, the first portion of the user interface including an initial matrix of: a plurality of rows, a plurality of columns, wherein, the rows columns intersect to form a plurality of cells and the cells are populated with values based on the retrieved default values. The method may further include receiving a maturity value; calculating a weighted matrix of values based on the received maturity values; applying the weighted matrix to the values of the cells in the initial matrix to generate adjusted values for each of the cells in the initial matrix; and presenting an adjusted matrix based on the adjusted values.

  • Patent number: 8380626
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention relate to methods and apparatuses for processing an image that shows multiple deposit items, where the image was captured by a remote capture device. For example, some embodiments provide a method that includes: (a) receiving an image that shows multiple deposit items, where the image was captured by a remote capture device; (b) determining that a first portion of the image is satisfactory for identifying deposit item information therein; (c) determining that a second portion of the image is unsatisfactory for identifying deposit item information therein; and (d) performing a function based at least partially on the determining that the second portion of the image is unsatisfactory for identifying deposit item information therein. In some embodiments, the function includes enhancing the second portion of the image. In other embodiments, the function includes prompting a user of the remote capture device to capture a second image to replace the second portion of the image.

  • Patent number: 8165933
    Abstract: The present invention provides systems, methods, and computer program products for performing validation and clearance at a transaction item level for transaction received in a batch format. Each transaction of the batch is stored separately in a storage system, such as a logical database. Typically, image data and electronic data for a transaction are stored separately in the storage system and may be linked to each other. Each transaction is separately accessible and/or updateable. Each transaction stored in the storage system is separately analyzed to validate that the transaction is at least balanced. Transactions that determined to be balanced are cleared irrespective of a balance status associated with other transactions associated with the batch of transactions, such that transactions are individually cleared as opposed to being cleared in a batch format.

  • Publication number: 20100192495
    Abstract: A wall system, particularly for thin stone or thin brick veneer walls, has a plurality of stones or bricks with grooves running along the upper and lower edges and a plurality of clips for linking the stones or bricks. One type of clip having one or more connecting flanges links an upper stone or brick to a lower stone or brick with the one or more connecting flanges housed within the groove in the lower edge of the upper stone or brick and within the groove in the upper edge of the lower stone or brick. The one or more connecting flanges of the clip depend from one or more base flanges of the clip and have a width just equal to the distance from the rear face to the groove of the upper and lower stones or bricks. The one or more base flanges of the clip depend from a support flange of the clip. The support flange has one or more apertures for accepting a screw or nail for fastening the clip to a structural wall.

  • Publication number: 20090255747
    Abstract: An electric vehicle with a modular frame that includes a main chassis with a rider platform (standing position), front fork/wheel assembly, handlebar assembly, and rear trailing arm assembly with left and right rear wheels. The front fork assembly bolts to the main chassis. The handlebar assembly fastens to the pivoting steer tube of the front fork assembly. The trailing arm assembly bolts to the main chassis and pivots to provide rear suspension for the vehicle. The trailing arm includes a stabilizer bar connecting the right and left trailing arms. Electronics enclosures are integral to the main chassis and are structural members of the vehicle. The battery pack can be installed or removed from the main chassis with a hand-activated latch. The electronics plate contains traction system electronics and is removable from the main chassis. The handle bar assembly includes a folding mechanism.

  • Patent number: 7455797
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method of producing particles via a supercritical fluid processing technique, an apparatus for carrying out the method and the particles produced thereby. The method includes: (1) providing: a supercritical fluid; a first solvent that is soluble in the supercritical fluid; a second solvent that is substantially insoluble in the supercritical fluid and is at least partially soluble in or miscible with the first solvent; and a solute that is soluble in the first solvent and is substantially insoluble in the second solvent and the supercritical fluid; (2) contacting the first solvent, the second solvent and the solute together to form a solution; and (3) contacting the solution with the supercritical fluid to extract the first solvent from the solution and precipitate the solute in the form of particles that are suspended in the second solvent.
