Abstract: A public transportation vehicle comprises a passenger cabin, comprising a cabin floor, and a plurality of seating tracks, fixed to the cabin floor at locations along the passenger cabin. The public transportation vehicle further comprises a plurality of passenger seats selectively releasably fixed to at least one seating track of the plurality of seating tracks. The public transportation vehicle additionally comprises at least one cargo cart that is selectively releasably fixable to at least one seating track of the plurality of seating tracks.

Abstract: An approach provides detection of unauthorized use of data services. A fraud case is created for a data call that is determined to be potentially fraudulent based on a fraud alert. A fraud score is determined for the case according to the fraud alert. The fraud score is adjusted according to adjustment criteria including an intermediate network involved with the data call, and an originating country of the data call.

Abstract: An approach provides detection of unauthorized use of data services. A determination is made as to whether connections supporting remote access to a data network are completed. The number of completed connections associated with a selected attribute is tracked over a time period. It is then determined whether the number of completed connections satisfies a connection frequency threshold. A fraud alert is generated if the connection frequency threshold is satisfied.

Abstract: An approach provides detection of unauthorized use of data services. The number of data calls for access to a data network is tracked over a predetermined time period, and the cumulative duration of the data calls is determined. Thereafter, a determination is made as to whether the number of the data calls and the cumulative duration satisfy, respectively, a first threshold and a second threshold. A potential fraudulent use of the account is determined, if the thresholds are satisfied.

Abstract: An approach provides fraud detection in support of data communication services. A threshold corresponding to a geographic location is set. The threshold corresponds to duration of a call supporting data communications. It is determined whether the call duration exceeds the threshold. A fraud alert is generated if the monitored call duration exceeds the threshold.

Abstract: An approach provides fraud detection in support of data communication services. A list of single-event attributes (e.g., hot or cold attributes) is generated and includes a network address of an end user host originating a data call or a calling party identification (e.g., Automatic Number Identification (ANI) or an originating Calling Line Identification (CLI)) for network access, wherein entries of the list specify values of the hot attributes. An attribute value associated with the data call is compared with the entries. A fraud alert is generated if the attribute value matches one of the entries.

Abstract: An approach provides fraud detection in support of data communication services. A usage pattern associated with a particular account for remote access to a data network is monitored. The usage pattern is compared with a reference pattern specified for the account. A fraud alert is selectively generated based on the comparison.

Abstract: A system for actively cooling an electronic device is disclosed. The electronic device may be divided into a plurality of regions each containing one or more electrical or electronic components. A temperature sensor is positioned in each region to sense the temperature of the components contained in that region. Similarly, a temperature regulating device is positioned in each region. A controller monitors the temperature of each region as sensed by the temperature sensor and adjusts the amount of cooling provided to that region by the temperature regulating device, accordingly.

Abstract: A method and system for storing an information signal for subsequent recording are disclosed. An incoming information signal is received, and a starting point in the information signal is identified. At least a portion of the information signal is stored in a memory as it is received, including the identified starting point. A command to record the information signal is received subsequent to the starting point of the information signal, and the information signal is recorded from the memory beginning with the starting point such that the information signal is recorded in its entirety. If the information signal is not recorded, the information signal will continue to be saved until the capacity of the memory is reached at which point the information signal may be recorded over the previously saved information signal. An end point of an information signal may be identified as the starting point of a new information signal desired to be recorded.
