Patent number: 10623887Abstract: The present disclosure involves systems, software, and computer implemented methods for augmenting ping timing for mobile devices based on contextual analysis of a current data exchange based on historical data exchange data. One example system includes operations such as receiving information related to a current data exchange associated with a particular user profile. The current data exchange can be associated with a particular location, and each user profile can be associated with at least one data exchange pattern, where the data exchange pattern identifies a locational and a data exchange history of the user profile. The current data exchange is compared to a data exchange pattern of the particular user profile. If the current data exchange does not correspond, a request for the user's current location is transmitted to an associated user device. If the current data exchange does correspond, the current data exchange is associated with the particular location.Type: GrantFiled: May 28, 2019Date of Patent: April 14, 2020Assignee: The Toronto-Dominion BankInventors: Vipul Kishore Lalka, Edward Robert Lucas Lounsbury, Arun Victor Jagga, John Jong-Suk Lee, Sarabjit Singh Walia

Patent number: 10506374Abstract: Systems, software, and computer implemented methods for modifying triggered notifications associated with particular user profiles based on an analysis of contexts specific to the user profile. One example system includes operations for identifying a current user context associated with a user profile and a set of current user contexts associated with at least one user profile different than the particular user profile, the combination representing a relative user context. In response to determining that the relative user context satisfies at least one relative user context-specific contextual rules, the at least one triggered notification for the particular user profile can be modified based on a particular modification associated with the satisfied at least one relative user context-specific contextual rule. In no rules are satisfied, a first signal can be transmitted to the user device associated with the particular user profile with the triggered notification.Type: GrantFiled: October 4, 2017Date of Patent: December 10, 2019Assignee: The Toronto-Dominion BankInventors: Vipul Kishore Lalka, Sarabjit Singh Walia, Edward Robert Lucas Lounsbury, John Jong-Suk Lee, Arun Victor Jagga

Patent number: 10302594Abstract: An apparatus for determining the integrity of a tube is provided. The apparatus includes: a body having an extension mechanism and configured to be inserted into the tube; and a flexible eddy current sensor including a flexible housing coupled to the body via the extension mechanism, and one or more coils disposed in the flexible housing. The flexible housing is selectively extendable via the extension mechanism between a first position and a second position. The one or more coils are farther away from the body when the flexible housing is in the second position than when the flexible housing is in the first position. The one or more coils electrically couple with an interior surface of the tube when the flexible housing is in the second position, and the flexible eddy current sensor is operative to selectively induce electrical currents within the tube via the one or more coils.Type: GrantFiled: December 1, 2016Date of Patent: May 28, 2019Assignee: GENERAL ELECTRIC TECHNOLOGY GMBHInventors: Jacques Brignac, Robert Lucas, Gerald Hendrix, Reginald Harrison
