Abstract: A method according to one embodiment includes: receiving historical transaction data collected by a transaction processing platform for a plurality of merchants; computing, using a machine learning model, parameters of an implied growth ratio distribution for each of the merchants based on features of the corresponding historical transaction data; identifying an offer size and an offer premium for financial offers to be made to the merchants by looking up parameters in a lookup table based on the implied growth ratio distributions, the lookup table being computed based on: a first optimization based on a target yield rate constraint and backtesting on a target loss rate constraint and a target repayment time constraint; and a second optimization based on the target loss rate constraint and backtesting on the target yield rate constraint and the target repayment time constraint; and transmitting the plurality of financial offers to the plurality of merchants.

Abstract: An example of the present disclosure includes a packaging box, comprising a first section including a first aperture to receive a portion of a writing device, and a second section including a second aperture to receive a remainder of the writing device. The packaging box further includes a hinge mechanism coupling the first section to the second section, wherein the first section and second section are rotatable about the hinge mechanism. The packaging box also includes a tip remover including a surface to remove a tip of the writing device responsive to application of a force.

Abstract: In accordance with embodiments, there are provided mechanisms and methods for creating, exporting, viewing and testing, and importing custom applications in a multitenant database environment. These mechanisms and methods can enable embodiments to provide a vehicle for sharing applications across organizational boundaries. The ability to share applications across organizational boundaries can enable tenants in a multi-tenant database system, for example, to easily and efficiently import and export, and thus share, applications with other tenants in the multi-tenant environment.

Abstract: Techniques for proving haptic feedback in computing systems are described. In operation, an input representing utilisation parameters of an electronic pen is received. In an example, the electronic pen may be electronically coupled to the computing system. Based on the received utilisation parameters, the computing system provides a pattern of haptic feedback to the user.

Abstract: Examples techniques to determine print material subscription plans for image rendering devices are described. In an example, data indicative of print material consumption by an image rendering device for a period of time is received at a server. Based on the received data, a print material subscription plan is determined for the image rendering device. Signals to enable provision of a notification corresponding to first print material subscription plan are transmitted to the image rendering device.

Abstract: Techniques for controlling RF output of portable devices are described. In an example, an indication of a mode of a portable device is received. The mode is based on an inclination of the portable device. The inclination is measured in reference to a screen of the portable device and a horizontal surface. Based on the mode, an RF power level defined for the mode is determined. The RF power output of the portable device is controlled based on the RF power level.
