20130117278 | METHODS, COMPUTER-ACCESSIBLE MEDIUM AND SYSTEMS FOR CONSTRUCTION OF AND INTERFERENCE WITH NETWORKED DATA, FOR EXAMPLE, IN A FINANCIAL SETTING - Networked data can, e.g., define connections between similar entities. Such data can be valuable for, e.g., improving business revenue opportunities (e.g., increasing sales, reducing customer attrition/churn, etc.) as networked data can capture similarities that can be often hard to encapsulate in traditional variables such as, e.g., socio-demographics. For example, related research has generally focused on the case where social network data was obtained directly or indirectly from online data, or from offline call logs in a telecommunication setting. Results can be implemented when inferring the values of target variables over the networked data. Methods, computer-accessible medium and systems according to exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure for creating privacy-friendly pseudo-social networked (PSN) data from off-line banking data can be provided. Exemplary PSN in accordance with certain exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure can be used, e.g., for a variety of networked data-mining applications for banks and other financial institutions to increase revenue or manage risk, for example. | 05-09-2013 |

20130187113 | Nonvolatile Memory Device Comprising a Metal-to-Insulator Transition Material - A nonvolatile memory device is disclosed comprising a metal-to-insulator transition material thermally coupled to a Peltier element. During programming, a selected current is flowing through the Peltier element, the level thereof determining whether the temperature of the Peltier element and hence of the thermally coupled metal-to-insulator transition material decreases or increases. In response to this temperature change, the metal-to-insulator transition material will change from one electrical conduction phase to another. The memory device is read by applying current through the metal-to-insulator transition material, the current level being selected to maintain the phase of the metal-to-insulator transition material. | 07-25-2013 |
20130187680 | Complementary Logic Device Comprising Metal-to-Insulator Transition Material - A complementary logic technology is disclosed whereby a logic gate comprises at least two metal-to-insulator transition (MIT) elements and at least two thermoelectric elements, each MIT element being thermally coupled to a corresponding thermoelectric element. In logic gates, each electric signal at an input terminal of a logic gate is first converted into two complementary thermal signals, and these thermal signals in turn determine the status of the output terminal of the logic gate, thereby generating an electrical output signal inverse to the electrical input signal or an output signal which is a Boolean operation on input signals. The parallel connection(s) of thermoelectric elements of the logic gate is used to create corresponding thermal signals for each electrical input signal. The MIT elements of the logic gate are then arranged to, in response to the associated thermal signals, execute a Boolean operation. | 07-25-2013 |
