  • Publication number: 20210033618
    Abstract: There is provided a method of classifying a biological status of an individual. The method comprising: obtaining a biological sample from a patient; obtaining health-related information from the patient, said information including patient gender; analysing the sample to identify a quantity of each of 2 or more endogenous analytes in the sample; comparing the analyte quantities to reference data from healthy individuals to classify the patient as healthy, pre-diseased, at risk of disease or diseased for at least one health-related condition. The reference data includes data derived from a group of biological samples of individuals having the same gender as the patient and not having a need for medical treatment for a disease or illness, each biological sample of the group of biological samples having been analysed by the same process as used to analyse the patient sample, the process being monitored to maintain a predetermined level of consistency.

  • Patent number: 8910982
    Abstract: The present invention includes an improved rear bumper assembly which is designed to help prevent exhaust gases from entering a vehicle. The bumper assembly can have a blocking structure sealed to the bumper cover and the rear of the vehicle. This blocking structure helps push the exhaust gases down and away from the rear of the vehicle which can help carry the exhaust gases away from the vehicle as it travels forward.

  • Publication number: 20120330692
    Abstract: A computer system for processing of data associated with insurance coverage includes a data storage device storing data indicative of: an insured; a maximum benefit amount payable under the insurance coverage; a first category of risks; a second category of risks; a first benefit allocation corresponding to the first category of risks; and a second benefit allocation corresponding to the second category of risks; the benefit allocations being fractions of and totaling the maximum benefit amount. A processor of the system is configured to, responsive to the receipt of data indicative of a claim, determine eligibility for a benefit, and responsive to determining that the insured is eligible, provide output data indicative of a benefit amount, the benefit amount for each of the categories of risks having a maximum equal to the corresponding benefit allocation.
