Publication number: 20150356685Abstract: According to some embodiments, information about an insurance claim associated with a base insurance policy and a weather event may be received. Based on the received information, it may be determined if the insurance claim is associated with an amount of loss that exceeds limits of the base insurance policy and stretch endorsement. It may also be determined if the insurance claim is associated with a type of loss covered by an extreme weather endorsement of the base insurance policy and associated stretch endorsement. Further, it may be determined if the extreme weather endorsement is associated with the insurance policy and if the weather event satisfies an extreme weather trigger condition. If the limits are exceeded, the type of loss is covered, the extreme weather endorsement is associated with the insurance policy, and the weather event satisfies the extreme weather trigger condition, payment in connection with the insurance claim may be facilitated.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 5, 2014Publication date: December 10, 2015Inventors: Charles Gregory Lindberg, Theresa W. Milone, Jeffrey G. Olmstead, Clifton L. Roberson, Mark Daren Shuffler, Christine Williams

Patent number: 8417015Abstract: A method and system for automatically evaluating quality of a slide-mounted tissue sample includes receiving a digital image of a magnified portion of the slide-mounted tissue sample. At least one quantitative quality indicator is automatically determined for at least one of the samples, and the digital image of the magnified portion of the sample. Each of the quantitative quality indicators is automatically compared to a respective minimum acceptable quality threshold. The quantitative quality indicators and associated quality thresholds are selected for suitability with an automated quantitative immunoassay. Failure of one or more of the quantitative quality indicators to meet its respective minimum acceptable quality threshold suggests that the sample is unsuitable for subsequent automated pathological evaluation.Type: GrantFiled: March 21, 2012Date of Patent: April 9, 2013Assignee: HistoRx, Inc.Inventors: Robert Pinard, Gregory R. Tedeschi, Christine Williams, Dongxiao Wang
