Abstract: An apparatus includes a platform having a first end and a second end and a handle. The apparatus includes a first leg assembly rotatably attached to the platform in proximity to the first end. The apparatus includes a second leg assembly attentively attached to the platform in proximity to the second end. When the first and second leg assemblies are essentially perpendicular to the platform, the apparatus is in a use state and the user is able to stand on the platform and be supported by the first and second leg assemblies. When the apparatus is in the use state, the user is able to pick up the apparatus by the handle with only one of the hands without tipping the apparatus. A method for a user with hands to stand on an apparatus. A work platform having legs which are coplanar with the platform when the legs are in a closed position. The work platform having a hinge bracket with a tab against which a leg contacts and is stopped when the leg is in an open position.

Abstract: A policy management system can manage a set of insurance policies, for example by performing automated operations to renew policies for subsequent terms. Some insurance policies may be associated with the same household, company, or other insured party, but may be associated with different cars or other insured elements. The policy management system can have a policy consolidator that identifies database records for a target policy and a related source policy, and can consolidate data from the source policy into the record of the target policy. Thereafter, the policy management system can perform policy renewal operations and other policy management operations together based on the consolidated data in the record for the target policy.

Abstract: A method for evaluating hydraulic fracturing places distinctive tracers in each of the fractured regions around a number of production wellbores. For example, these tracers can by carried in the fracking fluid. Preferably, the tracers are embedded in the proppant material carried by the fracking fluid to more accurately reflect the extent of the resulting fractures. An observation wellbore is then drilled to transect these fractured regions in series. As drilling progresses into each fractured region, the distinctive tracer for that fractured region can be recovered in the observation wellbore. This information can be used to determine the location and extent of the fractured regions. Gaps or regions of overlap between adjacent fractured regions can also be identified. In addition, the observation wellbore allows other types of evaluation of the fractured regions, such as visual inspection of fractures by camera.
