International Classification:

G06Q 40/00

US Classification:

705035000

Abstract:

Techniques for approval of reconciliation of an investment account transaction are provided. A first record of a transaction associated with the investment account is stored in an investment account data repository accessible by a first entity and a second entity. A second record associated with the transaction is received from a third entity and is reconciled with the stored first record. Based upon the reconciliation, the repository is altered and an indication of an approval of the alteration, by at least one of the first entity and the second entity, is stored in the data repository.

US Classification:

705039000

Abstract:

Methods and a system for performing automatic acceptance of an alteration of an investment account transaction. Alterations are made to a first view of the investment account transaction and, based on one or more applicable rules, a second view of the investment account transaction is updated to reflect the alterations made to the first view. The one or more applicable rules control the acceptance by the second view of the alterations made to the first view.

International Classification:

H03F 3/191

US Classification:

330302000

Abstract:

A system and method are provided for delivering power to a dynamic load. The system includes a power supply providing DC power having a substantially constant power open loop response, a power amplifier for converting the DC power to RF power, a sensor for measuring voltage, current and phase angle between voltage and current vectors associated with the RF power, an electrically controllable impedance matching system to modify the impedance of the power amplifier to at least a substantially matched impedance of a dynamic load, and a controller for controlling the electrically controllable impedance matching system. The system further includes a sensor calibration measuring module for determining power delivered by the power amplifier, an electronic matching system calibration module for determining power delivered to a dynamic load, and a power dissipation module for calculating power dissipated in the electrically controllable impedance matching system.

William S. McKinney - Portland OR, US
Margret Mellon - Portland OR, US

International Classification:

G16H 10/20
G06F 16/9535

Abstract:

Systems and methods for searching for a healthcare provider based on an automatically-identified search context are provided. In one embodiment, a method comprises receiving, from a user, a search query, identifying one or more search contexts in a structured dictionary of medical terminology that at least partially matches the search query, calculating similarity scores for each of the one or more search contexts, selecting at least one search context of the one or more search contexts based on the calculated scores, performing a search for healthcare providers corresponding to the at least one search context, and displaying, to the user, results of the search including at least one healthcare provider. In this way, the search results may only include relevant results, so users may not be overwhelmed by a large volume of marginally-relevant search results.
