摘要:
Embodiments of the invention relate to systems, methods, and computer program products for authenticating the identity of an authorized custodian of a dependent individual visiting a facility. In particular, the identity of an authorized custodian of a dependent individual visiting a facility is authenticated by: recording an image of an iris of the authorized custodian in a database; capturing an image of an iris of an individual attempting to accompany the dependent individual when the dependent individual exits the facility; and verifying, prior to allowing the dependent individual to exit the facility, that the captured image of the iris of the individual attempting to accompany the dependent individual matches the recorded image of the iris of the authorized custodian.

Systems and methods for integrating facility access with other security systems are described. An individual seeking access authorization to a facility may be identified with a biometric parameter such as an iris scan. If authorized, the system may allow entry by disabling the alarm system, and a time period for access may be determined based on one or more characteristics associated with the individual. These characteristics may include the functional role of the individual at the facility and/or the location of the facility itself. Moreover, this facility access authorization system may be integrated with a network access authorization system associated with the facility so that when an individual gains access to the facility for a specific time period, the system is also able to determine how long the individual may access its network resources.

Systems and methods that may determine whether to provide a resource to a consumer are disclosed. Further methods may allow distributing resources on an expedited basis or recheck previous determinations to provide a resource. In certain embodiment, resource transactions may be categorized. Illustrative categories may be organized by: investment, a non-investment expenditure, or income. In one embodiment, transactions categorized as non-investment expenditures may be categorized into subcategories, including necessities, discretionary, or debt. Calculations may be performed upon the categorized (and/or sub-categorized data). For example, one or more of the following ratios may be calculated: debt-to-income, investment-to-income, and expenditure-to-income. Ratios may be compared to one or more threshold values. Determinations of the threshold may consider information regarding other individuals' or business' resource transactions.

Systems and methods for environmental adjustments using biometrics are described. A scanned biometric parameter of an individual may be received and a determination may be made as to whether the scanned biometric parameter of the individual matches a stored biometric parameter of a plurality of stored biometric parameters. Biometric parameters include retinal images, DNA, and voice samples. If a match exists, the individual may be identified based upon the stored biometric parameter. At least one adjustment to change on at least one device based upon the identified individual may be determined. The at least one device may be configured for modifying an environmental condition of the identified individual. At least one instruction to implement the determined at least one adjustment may be transmitted. The adjustment may be a physical adjustment to the device, such as the height level of a chair.

Systems and methods for reducing the exposure of a financial institution to lending risk. The systems and methods may involve determining a basic credit limit for a customer's new credit card account based at least in part on attributes associated with the customer; assigning an adjusted credit limit to the account; and promising to decide whether to replace the adjusted credit limit with a higher credit limit.
摘要:
A system and a method of controlling a ventilation or HVAC system that is configured to provide an air stream having a comfortable contact velocity to an occupant seated in a vehicle cabin. The system includes a sensor to determine the distance from a discharge nozzle to the vehicle occupant and a controller to control the exit velocity and/or an effective diameter of the nozzle. The sensor may use ultrasonic, infrared, LIDAR, or RADAR technology to determine distance. The system may determine the distance from the nozzle to the occupant based on a seat location determined by a seat location sensor. The seat location sensor may be common to an inflatable restraint (air bag) system.

System and methods for leveraging passive networks are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method includes receiving, from a first data source, a first data descriptor, wherein the first data descriptor identifies an instance of contact between at least two persons. The method also includes determining a connection between the at least two persons, wherein the connection is based on an instance of contact between the at least two persons identified in the first data descriptor. The method further includes determining, with a processor, a first contact count for the connection, the first contact count based on a number of instances of contact between the at least two persons associated with the connection. The method also includes calculating, with the processor, a connection score for the connection, wherein the connection score is based at least in part on the first contact count.
摘要:
A fluid heat exchanger assembly cools an electronic device with a cooling fluid supplied from a heat extractor (R, F) to an upper portion of a housing. A refrigerant is disposed in a lower portion of the housing for liquid-to-vapor transformation. A partition divides the upper portion of the housing from the lower portion and flow interrupters are disposed in the upper portion for interrupting thermal boundary layer to enhance thermal heat transfer to the flow of liquid coolant through the coolant passage of the upper portion in response to heat transferred by an electronic device to the lower portion of the housing.
摘要:
An HVAC housing assembly includes a novel structure to aid the mixing of hot and cold air downstream of the evaporator and heater core. One or more variable nozzles are carried for displacement with the temperature door for accelerating some of the cold air stream through an internal housing opening and varying the cold air stream impingement angle with the hot air stream at their point of confluence to establish secondary mixing sites and substantially improving the resulting heat transfer coefficient.
摘要:
Three embodiments of a heat exchanger assembly for cooling an electronic device are shown respectively in FIGS. 1-2, 3 and 4 and each comprises a flange, a dome, a plurality of condensing tubes, a shroud, and a boiler plate. In the first embodiment shown in FIG. 1, the dome is semi-spherical in shape and the distance measured axially along the center axis equals the distance measured laterally from or perpendicular to the center axis. In the second and third embodiments shown in FIGS. 3 and, 4, respectively, the distance measured axially along the center axis is greater than the distance measured laterally from or perpendicular to the center axis. The domes in the second and third embodiments are an ellipsoid and a semi-logarithmic body, respectively. In all embodiments, a plurality of condensing tubes aligned in fan rows and arced rows extend from the dome to distal ends to facilitate more-efficient heat transfer.
