Abstract: This technology relates to providing a web-based digital claims platform to provide users with a simple and customized experience when filing insurance claims. The platform is enabled by a plurality of back-end application programming interface (API) resources. These API resources are event-driven (e.g., when an “event” associated with the claim occurs, the status of the claim changes and the API is provided with updated information indicative of the change). The platform includes a customized user interface (UI) that tailors the claim experience to a particular user's needs. The customization can be based off of stated user preferences and/or learned user preferences associated with the user's past behavior. A user can perform/request various services through the customized UI's self-service function (e.g., rent a car, find a hotel room, select a repair shop, etc.). Additionally, the customized UI can enable the user upload documents, track claim status, find relevant help topics, etc.

Abstract: An apparatus including an interface and a processor. The interface may be configured to receive area data and sensor data from a plurality of vehicle sensors. The processor may be configured to extract road characteristics for a location from the area data, predict expected sensor readings at the location for the plurality of sensors based on the road characteristics, calculate dynamic limits for the sensor data in response to the expected sensor readings and determine a plausibility of the sensor data received from the interface when the vehicle reaches the location. The sensor data may be plausible if the sensor data is within the dynamic limits. A confidence level of the sensor data may be adjusted in response to the plausibility of the sensor data.

Abstract: A multi-vendor risk relationship data store may contain electronic records representing a plurality of risk relationships between multiple vendors and an enterprise and, for each risk relationship, an electronic record identifier and a set of attribute values. An information sharing portal computer server may exchange an information request with a remote vendor platform. The information request may be, for example, associated with an employee of a sponsor associated with the vendor platform. The server may process the information request via a customized vendor-specific information sharing portal interface display and execute an algorithm to adjust, based on at least one attribute value, interactions with the vendor platform via the portal interface display. The server may also aggregate information associated with a plurality of vendor platforms and transmit the aggregated information to a remote administrator device associated with the enterprise.

Abstract: In a projectile launch environment, a fuzing safety device independently generates its own voltage upon setback which then is then used to arm the projectile. The arming is done independently of any on board battery rise time, and setback scenarios are detected free of false impacts such as dropping or jostling. The fuzing safety device includes a piezoelectric sensor for detecting motion in the projectile.

Abstract: A method for electron beam lithography. The method may comprise fabricating a multi-layer mask and interposing the multi-layer mask between an electron beam and an energy-sensitive layer to thereby expose the energy-sensitive layer to the electron beam through the mask. Fabricating the multi-layer mask may comprises providing a first mask layer fabricated from a first mask material (e.g. silicon nitride) which defines one or more feature apertures corresponding to features of interest and coating an electron-energy-reducing material (e.g. gold) onto the first mask layer to thereby provide a second mask layer.
