Method and apparatus for consumer interaction based on spend capacity

Share of Wallet (“SoW”) is a modeling approach that utilizes various data sources to provide outputs that describe a consumer's spending capability, tradeline history including balance transfers, and balance information. These outputs can be appended to data profiles of customers and prospects and can be utilized to support decisions involving prospecting, new applicant evaluation, and customer management across the lifecycle. In addition to credit card companies, SoW outputs may be useful to companies issuing, for example: private label cards, life insurance, on-line brokerages, mutual funds, car sales / leases, hospitals, and home equity lines of credit or loans. “Best customer” models can correlate SoW outputs with various customer groups. A SoW score focusing on a consumer's spending capacity can be used in the same manner as a credit bureau score.

System for Cash, Expense And Withdrawal Allocation Across Assets and Liabilities to Maximize Net Worth Over a Specified Period

InactiveUS20090254469A1FinanceReturn functionUser input
This invention constitutes a method for taking a set of input parameters specifying a person or family's assets, liabilities, income and expenses and computing the optimal amount of cash to withdrawal from each credit source or asset (including liquidation of physical assets, credit card balance transfers, and use of loan sources) and the allocation of expenses and cash flow across assets and liabilities so as to maximize net worth by a particular date. The method consists of computing marginal and average expense and return functions for each asset and liability to do a no-withdrawal monthly optimization from the start month to the target month on which to maximize net worth, then recursively computing optimal withdrawal amounts for each source of capital on specific months, ultimately finding the optimal withdrawal amount for each source on each of these months and returning the optimal allocation of expenses and the resulting income and cash-flow across assets and liabilities. This invention is being applied to an online environment, where the user inputs the necessary details and optimization takes place on the server.

Calibration measurement device for steady-state thrust of 4-25N attitude control engine in thermal vacuum environment

The invention relates to a calibration measurement device for steady-state thrust of a 4-25N attitude control engine in a thermal vacuum environment. The calibration measurement device comprises a base transfer frame, shock absorbing blocks, a fixed frame, a balance transfer plate, a single-component balance measurement device, a propellant pipeline, propellant pipeline fixing devices and an in-situ calibration device, wherein the shock absorbing blocks are uniformly mounted between the base transfer frame and the fixed frame; the propellant pipeline fixing devices are fixedly mounted on the periphery of the fixed frame; the propellant pipeline is mounted through the propellant pipeline fixing devices, one end of the propellant pipeline is communicated with an external propellant supply system, and the other end of the propellant pipeline is communicated with a propellant inlet of a to-be-measured attitude control engine; the single-component balance measurement device is mounted at one end of the fixed frame through the balance transfer plate, and the in-situ calibration device is mounted at the other end of the fixed frame. The calibration measurement device meets the requirements of the 4-25N attitude control engine for low thrust calibration measurement and solves the problems that high uncertainty is caused by pipeline constraint, high temperature and vibration in a measurement process, calibration before test run is not proper, the calibration precision is poor and the like.
