  • Patent number: 11954100
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for automating the process of mapping repair documents, published by Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs), to repair information provided in a repair estimate record. A baseline set of repair estimate records specifying one or more parts of a baseline vehicle and an associated set of repair documents specifying instructions for repairing the one or more parts of the baseline vehicle may be saved using a data categorization model in a mapping dataset. The repair documents associated with baseline set of repair estimate records which have been saved in the mapping dataset may then be used to automatically determine associations between another set of repair estimate records and corresponding repair documents.

  • Patent number: 11748463
    Abstract: Systems and methods for call detail record (CDR) analysis to determine a risk score for a call and identify fraudulent activity and for fraud detection in Interactive Voice Response (IVR) systems. An example method may store information extracted from received calls. Queries of the stored information may be performed to select data using keys, wherein each key relates to one of the received calls, and wherein the queries are parallelized. The selected data may be transformed into feature vectors, wherein each feature vector relates to one of the received calls and includes a velocity feature and at least one of a behavior feature or a reputation feature. A risk score for the call may be generated during the call based on the feature vectors.

  • Publication number: 20220250523
    Abstract: This present invention relates to transportation and more particularly to a passenger assist strap and clamp for a vehicle, such as, a bus, shuttle, or subway. The passenger assist strap comprises a strap with a tuck loop at a first end and a pin at a second end and the strap forms a top loop starting at the first end and a bottom loop ending at the second end wherein the middle portion of the strap between the top loop and bottom loop is sandwiched in between the first end and the second end and the tuck loop loops over the second end under the pin. The strap may be a double layer of strap and the tuck loop and pin may be positioned in folds of the strap. The clamp has a male clamp and a female clamp with attachment means to attach the male clamp to the female clamp.
