Patent number: 11948153Abstract: System and method for automatically calling back a customer via a predictive model determines a plurality of call-back metrics for a plurality of advisor records. The predictive model is applied to call-back data to identify customers that are likely to require a series of call-backs, and automatically generates a preferred call-back to such customers to reduce this risk. The automated call-back may follow termination of an identified customer's inbound call, or at some time after completion of a previous call interaction of the identified customer with an advisor. In the predictive model, a first compilation of call-back metrics record is representative of an overall likelihood of call-backs associated with each advisor record, and a second compilation of the plurality of call-back metrics is representative of a likelihood of call-backs for each of the plurality of products of the enterprise associated with the advisor record.Type: GrantFiled: July 29, 2019Date of Patent: April 2, 2024Assignee: Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance CompanyInventors: John Karlen, Peng Wang, Adam Fox, Tam Tran-The, Matthew Girard, Michael Crough

Publication number: 20220349262Abstract: A fiber optic thread assembly configured with a cumulative gap for mechanical responsiveness and protection from micro-bend damage. The assembly may be incorporated into a wireline or slickline cable for obtaining fiber optic readings of enhanced accuracy during an application in a well. The gap is uniquely tailored to allow for a natural reduction during deployment of the cable into the well, thereby providing the enhanced accuracy. However, the gap is also sufficient to help avoid micro-bend damage from the resulting mechanical responsiveness, which is attained upon deployment of the cable into the well.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 29, 2020Publication date: November 3, 2022Inventors: Joseph Varkey, David Kim, Maria Grisanti, Tam Tran, Burcu Unal Altintas

Publication number: 20220161293Abstract: A system and method of creating a decorative component having multiple surface finishes includes providing a substrate with a metal surface layer and treating the metal surface layer to remove oxidation, and applying a coating or paint layer over at least a portion of the treated metal surface layer. The paint layer is removed via laser ablation to define a metal-paint interface. The metal-paint interface created by laser ablation applied to paint over treated metal is free from adhesion failure. The workpiece created includes multiple surfaces having complex shapes and features, and may be applied to a variety of surfaces. Multiple surface finishes are therefore created on a single part without the need for assembly of separate parts, with a robust interface between contrasting surface appearances.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 23, 2021Publication date: May 26, 2022Inventors: Matthew Graham, Thomas Hawkins, Tam TRAN, Garry Van Houten

Patent number: 9014207Abstract: A system including a physical layer module and a control module. The physical layer module is configured to generate a first clear channel assessment for a first sub-channel of a communication channel and generate a second clear channel assessment for a second sub-channel of the communication channel. The first clear channel assessment indicates whether the first sub-channel is free or busy. The second clear channel assessment indicates whether the second sub-channel is free or busy. The control module is configured to, in response to the second sub-channel being busy, extend a duration of the second clear channel assessment by a predetermined period of time, and transmit data via (i) only the first sub-channel or (ii) both the first sub-channel and the second sub-channel based on (a) the first clear channel assessment, (b) the second clear channel assessment, and (c) the extended duration of the first clear channel assessment.Type: GrantFiled: May 10, 2013Date of Patent: April 21, 2015Assignee: Marvell World Trade Ltd.Inventors: Sandesh Goel, Timothy J.
