Abstract: Impact-based strength and weakness determination includes receiving a plurality of industry-wide feedback items, the industry-wide feedback items pertaining to a plurality of entities associated with an industry. It further includes, based at least in part on an evaluation of the plurality of industry-wide feedback items, generating an industry-wide reputation scoring model usable to determine an expected reputation score for a typical entity in the industry based at least in part on a combination of one or more reputation score components. Generating the industry-wide reputation scoring model comprises determining (1) a baseline reputation score, and (2) an expected impact of a reputation score component on reputation scoring for the typical entity in the industry.

Abstract: A system for communicating high voltages for a semiconductor device is provided. One system includes a controller having an input pad and an output pad, each of the input pad and the output pad being coupled to a respective high voltage switch of the controller. The system also includes a plurality of semiconductor chips, where each of the plurality of semiconductor chips has at least one input pad coupled to a high voltage switch of a respective semiconductor chip.

Abstract: A usage management system for tracking usage of applications available to subscribers of an interactive network includes an application server adapted to process a plurality of applications on demand by the users. The application server generates a plurality of event records each event record including at least one active domain identifier representing a domain being executed. Each domain represents an executable logical location within an application. A usage processing server is coupled to the application server, which is adapted to receive signals from the application server corresponding to the generated event records. The usage processing server is further adapted to track the time of occurrence of each domain identified in each event record.
