20150052043 | Method and System for Allocating Charitable Contribution Based Upon Credit and Debit Card Discount Fees - The computerized method/system allocates charitable contributions based upon credit/debit card discount fees selected by a vendor. An intermediary payment processor (IPP) permits the vendor to select fees/rates and charity. The IPP either (a) calculates an estimated charitable contribution based upon vendor's sales or (b) permits the vendor to select the charity's allocated rate. When the credit/debit card is processed, an allocated portion of the discount fees from each card transaction is delivered to the IPP's bank (which may be an escrow in the card processor's bank). The IPP bank pays this allocation periodically to the charity and the bank reports payments to the IPP, which in turn reports, via the web-portal, to the vendor. The vendor can make prospective changes. The system includes a rate selector, an input module, a charitable contribution calculator, a vendor's report display module, a transaction payment monitor, and a payment module for the charitable fee. | 02-19-2015 |

20140215026 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ANALYZING THE PERFORMANCE OF MULTIPLE TRANSPORTATION STREAMS OF STREAMING MEDIA IN PACKET-BASED NETWORKS - Streaming media network parameters are measured using an electronic system and displayed directly to a user or transmitted via an electronic interface such as an existing system network conduit, either in or out-of-band. A scalable hardware and/or software compute engine filters and reduces network parameters to simplify tracking the instantaneous and long term streaming media performance of the network. Hence, the entire set of active media streams is continuously monitored concurrently, thereby providing the ability to detect impairments as well as predict impending impairments. In one example, an existing packetized network conduit containing streaming media is tapped to concurrently and objectively analyze the streaming media streams, producing statistics (such as delay factor and media loss rate) and alarm-type events according to predetermined rules. Tapping the existing packetized network in multiple points provides comparison points and assists in pinpointing the source(s) of the impairment(s). | 07-31-2014 |

20140084663 | MOLDED SEAT - The instant invention teaches a seat incorporating an insert or inserts intermediate its upper and lower surfaces. A seat insert adapted for the support of the users buttocks and/or upper thighs conforms to the contours of the user's body over a period of time, has certain “rebound” properties, and features an area adapted to underlie the perineum of a user seated on the seat, which area is softer than the rest of the seat insert either by virtue of an included gap in the seat insert or by virtue of a softer material filling said gap. Alternatively, a perineal insert of softer material may be used without the seat insert described. In either case, the aforesaid inserts are preferably completely encapsulated and enclosed by the foam materials making up the seat, which can be accomplished by molding the seat around the insert(s). These innovations enable the seat to be molded with various internal density control zones and to otherwise provide a more comfortable seat to the user with enhanced abilities to conform to the user's body and enhanced springiness, while limiting pressure on the user's perineum. | 03-27-2014 |
