Abstract: A process for cooling a tube side stream in a main heat exchanger is described. The process comprises: a) supplying a first mass flow of a tube side stream to a first zone of individual tubes in the tube bundle; b) supplying a second mass flow of the tube side stream to a second zone of individual tubes in the tube bundle, the second zone being offset from the first zone; c) supplying a refrigerant stream on the shell side for cooling the first and second mass flows; d) removing the evaporated refrigerant stream from the warm end of the main heat exchanger; and, e) adjusting the first mass flow of the tube side stream relative to the second mass flow of the tube side stream to maximise the temperature of the removed evaporated refrigerant stream.

Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed for enhancing the information value of data networks. Consistent with disclosed embodiments, in large datasets, automated linking between data entries is facilitated by configuration and application of one or more entropic filters to the data. A computer system separates the data into groups based on the uniqueness of information carried by the data, then determines an entropy value for each group. Based on a predetermined threshold value, the system filters out data entries that have low entropy values and thus low relevance. The system automatically generates prospective links among the filtered data entries, and provides the network of links to another system for further analysis.

Abstract: The disclosed embodiments provide systems and methods for authenticating electronic transactions. A system for authenticating electronic transactions may include one or more memory devices storing instructions and one or more processors configured to receive transaction data associated with a transaction and further associated with a customer. The transaction data includes a customer identifier. The one or more processors may be configured to identify a customer account associated with the customer based on the customer identifier, and determine an authentication tier level associated with the transaction. The authentication tier level may reflect one or more levels of authentication required to authorize the transaction.

Abstract: The disclosed embodiments include methods and systems for detecting ATM skimmers based upon radio frequency (RF) signal. In one aspect, the disclosed embodiments include a system for detecting ATM skimmers including a memory storing instructions and one or more processors that execute the instructions to perform one or more operations for detecting ATM skimmers. The operations may include, for example, receiving radio frequency (RF) signal data corresponding to one or more RF signals detected by an antenna located within communication range of the ATM. The operations may also include determining one or more unidentified RF signals of the detected ATM RF signals that differ from one or more baseline RF signals.

Abstract: The disclosed embodiments provide systems and methods for transacting at a local financial service provider device using a mobile device. The system may include one or more memory devices storing instructions and one or more processors configured to execute the instructions to receive transaction data associated with a transaction request received from a mobile device associated with a customer. The transaction data may include a customer identifier. Additionally, the instructions may cause the processor to receive authentication data associated with the customer. The authentication data may be provided by the customer operating the mobile device and without requiring the customer to input data directly at the local financial service provider device. The one or more processors may further determine whether the received authentication data authenticates the transaction, authorize the transaction, and provide an indication to the local financial service provider device to perform the transaction.

Abstract: A system including at least one resonator located within a first electrical dielectric medium where a product is located, the product emits at least one chemical as the product ages, and transmitter located at a dielectric boundary of said first electrical dielectric medium to provide communications to an external analyzer of data emitted by the at least one resonator and to provide electrical energy to the resonator by way of radio waves.

Abstract: A process for liquefying a tube side stream in a main heat exchanger is described. The process comprises the steps of: a) providing a first mass flow to the warm end of a first subset of individual tubes, b) providing a second mass flow to the warm end of a second subset of individual tubes, c) evaporating a refrigerant stream on the shell side; d) measuring an exit temperature of the first mass flow; e) measuring an exit temperature of the second mass flow; and, f) comparing the exit temperature of the first mass flow measured in step d) to the exit temperature of the second mass flow measured in step e), the process characterized in that at least one of the first and second mass flows is adjusted to equalize the exit temperature of the first mass flow with the exit temperature of the second mass flow.

Abstract: An Apparatus, Method and System for sensing Chemical and Biological information and converting said information into the electronic digital domain for relay in a radio frequency identification (RFID) tag embedded in a dielectric medium. The apparatus consists of two parts; 1) a single coordinator apparatus providing power, control, signal processing and communications functions wirelessly to 2) a large number of chemical and temperature sensor tags embedded in a lossy dielectric medium that do not contain batteries and cannot function without the coordinator apparatus. The coordinator apparatus further acts as a digital information bridge to outside systems with the data obtained from the large number of sensor tags to the system.
