Abstract: Implementations relate to methods and systems to identify problem shifts.

Abstract: Implementations are disclosed herein to provide tiered access to databases. In some implementations, a method includes an enrollment processor, generating, at the enrollment processor, an encryption key specific to a computing device associated with the tiered data; providing the encryption key to the computing device; receiving, at the enrollment processor, the tiered data that includes at least first tier data and second tier data, storing the tiered data, receiving, at the enrollment processor, an access request from a second computing device associated with a user, determining, using the in-memory cache, whether there is a match between the data elements and the stored second tier data, based on determination that there is the match, performing a decryption of a portion of the first tier data using the encryption key, and storing the decrypted portion of the first tier data in a third database connected to the enrollment processor.

Abstract: Systems and methods of providing access to earned but unpaid income are provided. An available balance of earned but unpaid income is computed. A login request and device information may be received from a remote device and a login procedure is invoked based on an assessed security level of the login device type. On authenticating the remote device successfully, the available balance of earned but unpaid income is recomputed. A list of financial services is displayed to the user, and a request may be received from the remote device for access to earned but unpaid income specifying cash access, an amount and a deduction schedule. Terms and conditions of a transaction, including a fee are displayed and a signal indicating acceptance is received. The request is fulfilled, cash dispensed, and a deduction file associated with an employer of the user is updated.

Abstract: Methods and systems (including associated devices) are disclosed herein that allow for the enrollment and onboarding of users, in systems that provide access to accrued but unpaid earnings, to users such as employees of employers. In at least some embodiments, a scoring engine is used that verifies the identity of an enrolling employee. An enrollment processor is used which is operatively coupled to an employer database. Also, in at least some embodiments, enrollment is allowed if queries generated by a rules and scoring engine and posed to an employee is responded to using an access device.

Abstract: Methods and systems (including associated devices) are disclosed herein that allow for the providing of one or more financial services, including the facilitating of access to accrued but unpaid earnings, to users such as employees of employers. In at least some embodiments, the extent to which services can be accessed or used is determined at least in part based upon one or more risk determinations. For example, in the case of a service for distributing accrued but unpaid earnings before an end of a pay period to an employee (sometimes in the absence of immediate access to a number of hours the employee has worked), risk factors such as a number of future repayments promised as well as a currency multiple can be used to adjust a risk score. Also, in at least some embodiments, access by an employee to an account is performed via a kiosk and allowed only if a code provided to an employee mobile device is entered at the kiosk.

Abstract: A client-server arrangement permits recruitment and control of client peripherals to be effected from the server side is described. A client server system has a server device, a client device, and a peripheral device. The client device is in communication with the server device. The peripheral device is in communication with the client device. The client device has a port server to convert data between an IP format and a non-IP format. The peripheral device exchanges data with the port server in the non-IP format. The server device includes a computational device to exchange data with the port server in the IP format.

Abstract: An erosion control blanket is made of recycled, biodegradable slit and expanded sheets of paper. A plurality of layers are provided and are oriented such that the slope of the baffles in the grid pattern of the paper may be disposed in a positive or negative direction relative to the slope. The upper layers promote runoff of water for reducing erosion. The lower layers trap the water which passes through the blanket, passing it into the soil, and trap loose soil particles. The open grid pattern provided by the slit and expanded paper provides ample air space for promoting the germination and growth of seeds.
