Publication number: 20240037671Abstract: Systems and methods provide for an automated system for analyzing damage to process claims and pre-claim consultations associated with an insured item, such as a vehicle. An enhanced claims processing server may analyze damage associated with the insured item using photos/video transmitted to the server from a user device (e.g., a mobile device). The mobile device may receive feedback from the server regarding the acceptability of submitted photos/video, and if the server determines that any of the submitted photos/video is unacceptable, the mobile device may capture additional photos/video until all of the data are deemed acceptable. In addition, the server may interface with third party entities such as repair shops and may generate a payment for compensating a claimant for repair of the insured item.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 9, 2023Publication date: February 1, 2024Applicant: Allstate Insurance CompanyInventors: Suchandra Banerjee, Jennifer A.

Patent number: 6974398Abstract: The Magnum Bullet Dart is a throwing dart which includes a body made from a firearm bullet cartridge of any automatic, semi-automatic, small or large caliber, magnum or regular types. In a first embodiment, a steel point extends from the front of the bullet casing, and a flight shaft of fixed length is attached to the rear of the bullet casing. A user can remove the shaft, and insert or remove weighting material, such as lead shot, into or out of the cartridge through the hole, to adjust the weight of the dart. In a second embodiment, a steel point extends from the front of the bullet casing, and a flight shaft is slidably mounted through a hole in the rear of the casing; the length of the shaft extending rearward of the casing may be adjusted according to the preference of the user. This adjustability does not require the dart owner to purchase different lengths of shafts, thus adding convenience and saving money.Type: GrantFiled: June 2, 2003Date of Patent: December 13, 2005Inventor: Steven Curtis Murphy
