20120191494 | INCIDENT COST MODEL - Embodiments of the present invention provide apparatuses and methods for determining the cost of poor quality of an incident within a business. One way to measure costs associated with an incident is by measuring failed customer interactions (“FCIs”). FCIs are defined as incidents that occur within the business that either directly or indirectly affect a customer's ability to use a product or service offered by the business. In most situations an FCI relates to a failed interaction between the business and the customer through a channel that affected the customer's use of a product or service through the channel. The cost of poor quality application calculates the total cost of an incident through a multifaceted valuation that factors in hard metrics, such as but not limited to actual costs, duration, channel costs, FCI severity, etc. in order to calculate a remediation cost, a channel FCI cost, and a reputation cost. | 07-26-2012 |

20100251641 | Systems and Methods for Modular Floor Installation - Connectors for joining adjacent modular floor covering units. The connectors include a base or film and one or more attachment members. As an exemplary use of a connector to install tiles, a first tile is placed on the floor and a connector is positioned so that an attachment member faces upward and attaches to the first tile. One or more other tiles are then positioned adjacent the first tile so that the same or other attachment members of the connector attach to the adjacent tiles. In certain embodiments, an attachment member comprises projections that form a mechanical connection with the undersides of the tiles. For example, a connector may comprise a plastic unit with raised ridges that interact with corresponding indentations on the undersides of the tiles. A connector can also or alternatively form a connection with tiles and/or the underlying floor surface by having a high coefficient of friction. | 10-07-2010 |

20120109821 | SYSTEM, METHOD AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT FOR REAL-TIME ONLINE TRANSACTION RISK AND FRAUD ANALYTICS AND MANAGEMENT - Embodiments disclosed herein provide a behavioral based solution to user identity validation, useful in real-time detection of abnormal activity while a user is engaged in an online transaction with a financial institution. A risk modeling system may run two distinct environments: one to train machine learning algorithms to produce classification objects and another to score user activities in real-time using these classification objects. In both environments, activity data collected on a particular user is mapped to various behavioral models to produce atomic elements that can be scored. Classifiers may be dynamically updated in response to new behavioral activities. Example user activities may include login, transactional, and traverse. In some embodiments, depending upon configurable settings with respect to sensitivity and/or specificity, detection of an abnormal activity or activities may not trigger a flag-and-notify unless an attempt is made to move or transfer money. | 05-03-2012 |
