Title: Computerized methods and apparatuses for guiding a user through a transaction to change a contribution configuration in a defined contribution plan
Inventor: FULSHAW SUSAN L
IPC: G06Q40/00
Filed: 2008-12-12
Abstract: Described are computer-based methods and apparatuses, including computer program products, for guiding a user through a transaction to change a contribution configuration in a defined contribution plan. A request is received by an application from a client device. The application processes the request and plan data associated with a user is retrieved. User interface data is generated by the application and the data is transmitted to the client device.  A user interface is displayed which initiates, reviews and executes a transaction to change a current contribution configuration to a suggested contribution configuration without requir-ing the user to enter any additional information.
Patent CA-2746941-A1 (CA)
Inventor: LASKOWSKI PETER
IPC: H04L45/02
Filed: 2009-12-10
Abstract: A method for establishing or reinforcing a path through an asymmetric network of interconnected nodes includes storing navigation data at one or more nodes, for use by an agent in traveling from that node to a subsequent node, while ultimately traveling from a first terminal node (for example, a source node) to a second terminal node (for example, a destination node).  As the agent travels from a first terminal node to a second terminal node via an intermediate node, the agent modifies the navigation data intended for use by an agent traveling from the second terminal node to the first terminal node via the intermediate node.  Agents traveling complementary routes reinforce each other paths, allowing paths to be determined and reinforced.

IPC: H04N7/26
Filed: 2011-06-02
Abstract: A quantization factor is determined using information from a histogram of transform coefficients that are produced from a transformed video frame. The histogram is used in estimating an encoded frame size of the video frame that is currently in the process of being encoded. The quantization factor used in the quantization step of the video encoding is adjusted for the current video frame based on the information from the histogram. The histogram is balanced against the desired length of the encoded frame size. Cutoff thresholds in the histogram correlate with different choices of quantization factors, and the ratio of points on or below those thresholds are used to estimate the size of the encoded frame.
