Publication number: 20120254424Abstract: In one embodiment, a system and method is illustrated as including generating a model using at least one of a global conduct score and attribute data. A range of numeric values may be retrieved, based upon which, a better term is granted in a transaction than would otherwise be granted in the transaction. A comparison may be made between the model and the range of numeric values. Further, a better term may be granted in the transaction where the model falls within the range of numeric values. The global conduct score is computed using an approach including at least one of a feed score approach, and a composite score approach. The attribute data includes page view data, click through data, account usage data, and good purchased data. The model includes a global conduct score model, a weighting model, an AI based model, and an associated network based model.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 14, 2012Publication date: October 4, 2012Inventors: Dhanurjay A.S.

Publication number: 20080162259Abstract: Embodiments of an associated community platform are shown. Some embodiments comprise a receiver residing on a server to receive data from one or more nodes that are apart of a merchant network, a calculator residing on the server to calculate a score based upon the data, a mapper residing on the server to map the score to an assessment score, and a alerter residing on a server to alert where a threshold value is exceed by the mapping of the score to the assessment score. Additionally, a method embodiment is illustrated comprising receiving data from one or more nodes that are apart of a merchant network, calculating a score based upon the data, mapping the score to an assessment score, and alerting where a threshold value is exceed by the mapping of the score to the assessment score. Algorithms may be implemented to determine the existence of links in network.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 29, 2006Publication date: July 3, 2008Inventors: Dhanurjay Patil, Matthew Mengerink, Timothy M.

Publication number: 20020015496Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for controlling the content sent to a user. Content is sent in packets, which include a packet ID and content. The packet ID is tagged, or marked with a packet tag by a broadcaster or other computer server to enable specific users to view the content. The “packet tag” is an identifier that marks and identifies the content associated with the packet. The packet tag is used by software applications, or “modules,” for controlling the content at the user terminal. The software applications enable user viewing permissions according to the packet tags, which may include providing access to a decryption algorithm if the user serial number is included in the tag, and recording information about the content if the content is viewed or read by the user terminal.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 3, 2001Publication date: February 7, 2002Inventors: J.

Patent number: 5221004Abstract: A case for holding, storage, protection and working of cane reeds for woodwind instruments which secures a number of reeds to protect against damage and distortion. The reed case maintains reeds in a flat condition during storage, insulates them from impact during storage, acts as a working surface in the restoration of desired reed qualities, and provides a container with a controlled environment for reed storage. The individual reeds are secured flat against interior surfaces of a central core member. The surfaces can be provided with ventilation holes for homogeneous reed drying. The reeds are protected from contact or damage by the core member. An outer cover can be added to further protect the reeds and to provide a controlled environment for storage. The holder taught in the present invention also provides a second set of flat surfaces, on the exterior of the core member opposite the reed securing surfaces, for use as working surfaces in the adjustment of reeds.Type: GrantFiled: May 7, 1991Date of Patent: June 22, 1993Inventor: Timothy M.
