Abstract: Systems and methods for managing escrow for peer-to-peer transactions are disclosed. A method may include: receiving, at a payment agreement computer program executed by a backend and from a buyer computer program, a selection of a payment agreement option for a purchase involving a good from a seller; receiving, by the payment agreement computer program and from the buyer computer program, a transaction amount and a seller account identifier; transferring, by the payment agreement computer program, the transaction amount from a buyer account to an escrow account; notifying, by the payment agreement computer program, a seller computer program for the seller that the transaction amount is in the escrow account; receiving, by the payment agreement computer program and from the seller computer program, verification that the transaction amount is correct; and transferring, by the payment agreement computer program, the transaction amount from the escrow account to a seller account.

Abstract: An inductor includes a core, a coil disposed about the core, and a shield. The shield and the core are connected to each other so that a closed magnetic loop is formed. The core may be a single piece or made up of a pair of core segments. The shield may include two halves or portions or may include a cover with a base. The core may be unitary with the shield at one or both ends thereof. In embodiments where the shield includes two portions, the portions may have substantially identical geometry and dimensions.

Abstract: An inductive device mounted to the surface of a circuit board forms an inductor in an electrical circuit and provides a high level of inductance while occupying a relatively small amount of space. An inductive device forms an inductor when mounted on a circuit board including a plurality of pads. The inductive device includes a core and a conductor. The conductor extends partially around at least a portion of the core and including a plurality of contact surfaces. The conductor forms a coil around at least a portion of the core to form an inductor when the contact surfaces are mated with the pads of the circuit board. A portion of the conductor may extend through the core. The core may include a first plate and a second plate, with a portion of the conductor extending between the plates. Alternatively, one of the plates may include a groove for receiving the conductor when the plates are attached together. The conductor may include a pair of C shaped elements that slide over the core.
