A payment processing system continuously processes transactions. A group of transactions satisfying criteria within a recent measurement window are extracted from transaction data. A second group of transactions satisfying the criteria within a past baseline window are also extracted. An attribute of transactions is selected for analysis and a risk metric value is calculated for transactions in the measurement window having a particular attribute value. The same risk metric is used to calculate a baseline value for transactions in the baseline window having the same attribute value. The baseline value may be normalized and adjusted. The risk metric value is compared to the baseline value and an alert is generated if the risk metric value is greater. Any of a variety of risk metrics are used. Total dollar amount and total order count from the measurement window compared to similar from the baseline window are also used to inform the alert.

Anomaly detection in groups of transactions

A fluid transport apparatus facilitates flow of fluid from a source to a receptacle. The fluid transport apparatus includes a fluid transport conduit for transport of fluid through the conduit, the conduit being coupled between a fluid supply and a fluid receptacle, a compressor conduit proximate the fluid transport conduit along a portion of the fluid transport conduit between the fluid supply and the fluid receptacle, and a pump coupled to the compressor conduit for injecting fluid into the compressor conduit, and a vent that is operated to selectively enable pressurization and venting of the compressor conduit to compress and decompress the portion of the fluid transport conduit proximate the compressor conduit to pump fluid through the fluid transport conduit.

System and method for transporting fluid through a conduit

A fluid transport apparatus maintains temperature of a fluid transported through a conduit. The fluid transport apparatus includes a fluid transport conduit that is selectively deformed by a pressure within a compressor conduit and allowed to return to its original shape by venting the pressure through a venting valve. The alternating pressurization and release of pressure from the compressor conduit moves fluid through the fluid transport conduit. A thermal conductor is associated with the fluid transport conduit to maintain the temperature of the fluid in the fluid transport conduit within a predetermined range.

System for maintaining temperature of a fluid in a conduit

A fluid transport apparatus maintains temperature of a fluid transported through a conduit. The fluid transport apparatus includes a fluid transport conduit for transporting fluid, the fluid transport conduit having an inlet end that is coupled to a fluid supply and an outlet end that is coupled to a receiving port, a compressor conduit configured to pump fluid through the fluid transport conduit by pressurizing and venting the compressor conduit, and a thermal conductor configured to achieve a non-ambient temperature for the fluid within the fluid transport conduit as the compressor conduit is operated to move the fluid through the fluid transport conduit.
