Publication number: 20240169441Abstract: Document creation systems and methods are provided for a potential risk relationship between an enterprise and an entity. A back-end application computer server may include a data collection engine to exchange information with a remote entity device associated with the entity. A bundle creation engine may receive the information about the entity and automatically and dynamically create a potential bundle of optional risk relationship components (each associated with an electronic file representing an optional risk relationship component document). A presentation engine may present information about the potential bundle and receive an indication of a selected subset of the potential bundle of optional risk relationship components. A final document construction engine may automatically construct, based on the selected subset and associated electronic files representing component documents, an electronic file representing a risk relationship package document to be transmitted to the remote entity device.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 8, 2024Publication date: May 23, 2024Inventors: Kristin Elizabeth Atherton, Bruce D. Betancourt, Lauren Charlotte Elliott, Laura O'Connor Hanson, Barkely Scott Harris, M. Gary Letscher, Diana Reihl, Catherine M. Sommer

Patent number: 5690953Abstract: An ophthalmic lens, particularly a soft hydrogel contact lens, is disclosed. The lens can be derived from a crosslinked polymer made by reacting a hydrophilic monomer with a crosslinking amount of a polyfunctional compound containing a saccharide residue. The preferred hydrophilic monomer is actually a mixture of the following individual hydrophilic monomers: a) the reaction product of a free radical reactive monoisocyanate and a monoalkoxy polyalkylether, b) N,N-dimethylacrylamide, and optionally c)hydroxyethyl methacrylate. The preferred polyfunctional compound is a prepolymer derived from an alkoxylated glucose or sucrose. This prepolymer can be made by reacting glucose or sucrose, which has been ethoxylated or propoxylated, with a free radical reactive isocyanate which has been capped. The free radical reactive isocyanate can be capped by reacting it with a polyalkylether, such as polyethylene glycol, and then reacting this intermediate with a diisocyanate.Type: GrantFiled: September 13, 1996Date of Patent: November 25, 1997Assignee: Johnson & Johnson Vision Products, Inc.Inventors: Frank F. Molock, Ivan M. Nunez, James D. Ford, Laura D. Elliott

Patent number: 5648402Abstract: The present invention provides soft contact lenses adopted for placement over the cornea or in the eye which have a high oxygen permeability, a low water content and excellent mechanical properties. Moreover, the lenses of the instant invention have excellent protein and lipid deposition resistance relative to conventional contact lenses. Such lenses having the properties mentioned above comprises a prepolymer which contains an alkoxylate glucoside that is derivatized with at least one polysiloxane compound. The prepolymer is then placed in a suitable mold and polymerized by exposure to ultraviolet light.Type: GrantFiled: June 1, 1995Date of Patent: July 15, 1997Inventors: Ivan M. Nunez, Frank F. Molock, Laura D. Elliott, Michele L. Neil, James D. Ford
