Patent number: 12002090Abstract: A system and computer-implemented method for approving a dynamic mortgage application using a blockchain. In one aspect, the method may include determining a customer is approved for a mortgage (“mortgage ready”) and determining a real estate property is mortgage ready. The method may include comparing a calculated amount in which the customer is approved for a mortgage loan with a calculated appraisal value of the real estate property, and approving the mortgage application of the customer when the calculated amount the customer is approved for the mortgage loan is equal to, or exceeds, the calculated appraisal value of the real estate property, reducing a processing time and closing time of the mortgage.Type: GrantFiled: December 23, 2021Date of Patent: June 4, 2024Assignee: State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance CompanyInventors: Benjamin Tarmann, Richard R. Rhodes, Lokesh Awasthy, Denise DeRoeck, Jaime Skaggs, Jacob J. Alt, Shanna L. Phillips, Shyam Tummala, Matthew S Meierotto, Richard D Groonwald, Brian J. Hughes

Patent number: 11995717Abstract: A system and computer-implemented method for approving a dynamic mortgage application. In one aspect, the method may include determining a customer is approved for a mortgage and determining a real estate property is mortgage ready, including calculating an appraisal value for the real estate property based upon the information about the real property retrieved from a computer file or memory location/address (such as by using a machine learning or artificial intelligence algorithm). The method may still further include comparing the calculated amount the customer is approved for a mortgage loan with the calculated appraisal value of the real estate property; and approving the mortgage application of the customer for the real estate property when the calculated amount the customer is approved for the mortgage loan meets, or exceeds, the calculated appraisal value of the real estate property.Type: GrantFiled: April 6, 2023Date of Patent: May 28, 2024Assignee: State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance CompanyInventors: Benjamin Tarmann, Richard R. Rhodes, Lokesh Awasthy, Denise DeRoeck, Jaime Skaggs, Jacob J. Alt, Shanna L. Phillips, Shyam Tummala, Matthew S. Meierotto, Richard D. Groonwald, Brian J. Hughes

Patent number: 11966992Abstract: A system and computer-implemented method of identifying multiple mortgage ready properties. The method includes receiving, via one or more processors, information from a customer approved for a mortgage about preferences for a real estate property and accessing, at a memory coupled to one or more processors, a memory storage location to retrieve a plurality of mortgage ready real estate properties meeting one or more of the customer preferences information. The method further includes transmitting, via the one or more processors, the plurality of real estate properties meeting one or more of the customer preferences information to the customer.Type: GrantFiled: May 9, 2018Date of Patent: April 23, 2024Assignee: State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance CompanyInventors: Benjamin Tarmann, Richard R. Rhodes, Lokesh Awasthy, Denise DeRoeck, Jaime Skaggs, Jacob J. Alt, Shanna L. Phillips, Matthew S. Meierotto, Richard D. Groonwald, Brian J. Hughes, Shyam Tummala

Patent number: 5734528Abstract: The present invention provides an improved actuator arm assembly including scalloped locking flanges with indentations for longitudinal, perpendicular, and torsional support, an injection molding for precisely locating and fixing a motor coil bobbin, motor coil wires, magnetic latch striker plate, and a crash stop to an actuator arm. Apertures on the actuator arm allow the plastic molding to pass through and lock the actuator arm to the motor coil bobbin together. The magnetic latch striker plate fixably parks the actuator arm in the disc drive assembly. Locating apertures of various shapes in the motor coil bobbin adds further stability and aids in interlocking the plastic molds around the motor coil bobbin. Furthermore, to reduce the height of the disc drive, protect the lead wires from being unduly stressed during the formation of the mold, and increase wire strength to tolerate stresses during testing and assembly, another embodiment of the invention utilizes insulating sleeves around the lead wires.Type: GrantFiled: March 26, 1996Date of Patent: March 31, 1998Assignee: Seagate Technology, Inc.Inventors: Iraj Jabbari, Brian L. Phillips, Brian T. Bonn, Chul Soo Kim, Michael A. Maiers, Mark E. Gauger

Patent number: 5600516Abstract: An actuator arm assembly includes an actuator arm and a voice coil coupled to the actuator arm. A crash stop is connected to the actuator arm and extends away from a perimeter of the actuator arm.Type: GrantFiled: December 5, 1995Date of Patent: February 4, 1997Assignee: Seagate Technology, Inc.Inventors: Brian L. Phillips, Lawrence W. Gollbach

Patent number: 5337202Abstract: The present invention is apparatus for interfacing the actuator arm assembly to control and signal processing circuits mounted external to the disc drive casing. The invention provides a sealed connective interface which protects the integrity of the "clean room" environment in which selected disc drive components function.Type: GrantFiled: April 2, 1993Date of Patent: August 9, 1994Assignee: Seagate Technology, Inc.Inventors: Iraj Jabbarai, Brian L. Phillips

Patent number: 5267376Abstract: Apparatus of the disclosure for securing a printed circuit cable to the actuator arm in a disc drive described. The apparatus is designed to effectuate bias minimization and bias consistency during repeated operation of the disc head assembly. Additionally, the printed circuit cable is attached without using adhesive.Type: GrantFiled: November 9, 1990Date of Patent: December 7, 1993Assignee: Seagate Technology, Inc.Inventors: Iraj Jabbari, Michael J. Darling, Brian L. Phillips

Patent number: 5177650Abstract: A disc drive assembly includes a brushless direct current drive motor having a stationary shaft and a hub rotatably mounted about the stationary shaft by upper and lower bearings. The hub includes an interior space for housing a stator which has magnetically active parts for magnetic interaction with a permanent magnet mounted on an inner surface of the hub. The brushless drive motor is releasably mounted on a disc drive base member having a centrally located boss. The boss cooperates with a lower surface of a stator support for maintaining the stator of the drive motor in spaced relation with respect to the disc drive base member so that a printed circuit connector may be disposed between the stator and the disc drive base member proximate the stator winding.Type: GrantFiled: November 9, 1990Date of Patent: January 5, 1993Assignee: Seagate Technology, Inc.Inventors: Iraj Jabbari, Brian L. Phillips

Patent number: 4383930Abstract: Polymer mobility control agents useful in supplemental oil recovery processes, which give improved reciprocal relative mobilities, are prepared by initiating the polymerization of a monomer containing a vinyl group with a catalyst comprising a persulfate and ferrous ammonium sulfate. The vinyl monomer is an acrylyl, a vinyl cyanide, a styryl and water soluble salts thereof.Type: GrantFiled: June 20, 1980Date of Patent: May 17, 1983Assignee: Marathon Oil CompanyInventors: Perry A. Argabright, John S. Rhudy, Brian L. Phillips

Patent number: 4098337Abstract: Improved injectivity profiles and/or vertical conformance in flooding heterogeneous formations containing high permeability zones is obtained by injecting an aqueous polyacrylamide solution and an aqueous formaldehyde solution into the formation and allowing the polyacrylamide to react with the formaldehyde in the relatively high permeability zones to form a gel. Thereafter, improved sweep efficiency is realized in displacing hydrocarbon from the lesser permeability zones.Type: GrantFiled: July 1, 1977Date of Patent: July 4, 1978Assignee: Marathon Oil CompanyInventors: Perry A. Argabright, John S. Rhudy, Brian L. Phillips

Patent number: 4039485Abstract: Metals can be removed from aqueous solutions by contacting such solutions with a composition formed by reacting polyisocyanurate salts with synthetic resins. The resulting composition contains polyisocyanurate salt groups which act as exchange sites for removing the metals from solution. Regeneration by treatment with suitable inorganic metal salts and use of chloromethylated synthetic resins in the forming of the polymer are utilized in preferred embodiments.Type: GrantFiled: July 7, 1975Date of Patent: August 2, 1977Assignee: Marathon Oil CompanyInventors: Perry A. Argabright, Larry M. Echelberger, Brian L. Phillips
