20100100483AUTOMATIC RESTITUTION OF TRANSACTION FEES, PUNISHMENT OF NON-PAYING BIDDERS, AND MANAGEMENT OF APPEALS - A method and system for resolving disputes between parties involved in a network-based transaction is described. One aspect of the present invention seeks to automatically facilitate the restitution of value to parties of the transaction, for example, facilitated by a network-based commerce platform or involving a network-based payment service, where a dispute has arisen with respect to the transaction.04-22-2010

20120041876INSTANT AVAILABILITY OF ELECTRONICALLY TRANSFERRED FUNDS - A system and method for making proceeds of an ACH (Automated Clearinghouse) transaction available to a user before the transaction is completed. The system may be part of an on-line system or traditional merchant configured to facilitate payments or fund transfers from users. A user requests the transfer of funds to an entity (e.g., another user, a merchant, the user's account with the system) via an ACH entry. The system calculates a risk associated with the user, while considering various data (e.g., number of previous ACH entries, how many failed, how many succeeded, amount of the transfer). If the risk is low enough, the ACH entry is initiated and the desired funds are released for the transfer even before the ACH entry clears. The ACH entry may be presented as a default choice for funding the transfer.02-16-2012

20100322864TELEMETRY THROUGH REMOTE DETECTION OF NMR-ACTIVE PARTICLES - Various methods of telemetry for nuclear magnetic resonance applications are described. NMR-active particles are introduced into a system which is to undergo an NMR measurement. In various embodiments, the NMR-active particles have a resonance peak in a spectral region which is substantially free from any NMR signal originating from material native to the system. In some embodiments, the NMR-active particles are chemically functionalized to target a constituent within the system. In certain applications, changes in the detected resonance peak can be used to quantify certain characteristics about the system, e.g., a concentration of an analyte, whether a targeted constituent is present within the system.12-23-2010
