Abstract:
Systems and methods for inducing a change in a human physiological characteristic. The physiological characteristic may correspond to an emotional state of a dialogue participant. The dialogue participant may be an individual participating in a conversation. The outcome of the conversation may be related to a business objective, such as providing high quality call center services. A sensor may monitor the physiologic characteristic. A processor may relate the physiologic characteristic to an emotional state. The processor may provide feedback to the individual based on the emotional state. The feedback may be formulated to change the individual's emotional state.

Abstract:
A bicycle. A front bicycle wheel and rear bicycle wheel are connected to a bicycle frame. A drive sprocket drives the rear bicycle wheel. Two hand grippable pivotally connected handles are each connected via a handle drive linkage to the drive sprocket. The pivoting of the handles in an approximately vertical plane controls the rotation of the drive sprocket and spins the rear bicycle wheel. In one preferred embodiment, the bicycle is a stationary bicycle. In another preferred embodiment the bicycle can be steered and taken on the street.

A bicycle. A front bicycle wheel and rear bicycle wheel are connected to a bicycle frame. A steerer tube controls the left and right motion of the front bicycle wheel. A drive sprocket drives the rear bicycle wheel. Two hand grippable pivotally connected handles are each connected via a handle steering linkage connection to the steerer tube. They are both also connected via a second handle drive linkage to the drive sprocket. The pivoting of the handles in an approximately horizontal plane controls the left and right motion of the front bicycle wheel. The pivoting of the handles in an approximately vertical plane controls the rotation of the drive sprocket and drives the bicycle forward.

Abstract:
Apparatus and methods for providing an electronic feedback management system. The method may use an electronic information processing platform. The method may include receiving information relating to a company employee hierarchy. The method may also include receiving information relating to the submission of a suggestion by a first employee. The method may further include receiving information relating to the status of the suggestion. The status of the suggestion may include an identification of a second employee who has viewed the suggestion. The method may also include displaying on a graphical user interface (“GUI”) a visual representation of at least part of the company employee hierarchy. The display may include the identification relating to the second employee.
Abstract:
Embodiments of the invention provide systems and methods for managing updates to a financial transaction monitoring system, wherein the financial transaction monitoring system is configured to specially handle any financial transactions involving an entity identified in a list of entities. In one embodiment, the system includes a communication interface configured to receive an update to the list of entities, the update including one or more new keywords. The system may further include a memory device having information about a plurality of transactions. In one embodiment, the system includes a processor configured to: determine the number of transactions in the plurality of transactions that can properly be associated with at least one of the new keywords; and determine whether the update will impact the financial transaction monitoring system based at least partially on process metrics and the determined number of transactions in the plurality of transactions that can properly be associated with at least one of the new keywords.
Abstract:
Systems and methods for a wearable badge with a sensor are provided. The badge may include a sensor. The sensor may monitor a response of a wearer. The sensor may monitor a response of an individual facing the wearer. A reference index may correlate the response to a known condition. A processor device may detect the known condition or a threshold number of known conditions. The processor may relate the known condition to feedback. A feedback mechanism may provide the feedback to the wearer. The feedback mechanism may provide the feedback to the individual facing the wearer. The feedback may be provided based on the known condition. The feedback may be configured to provide guidance to the wearer and the individual facing the wearer. The feedback may be based on the threshold number.
