Patent number: 7725329Abstract: A system and method that generates a hierarchical tree network and uses linear-plus-nonlinear learning algorithms to form a consensus view on a member's future health status. Each leaf in the hierarchical tree network is homogeneous in clinical characteristics, experience period, and available data assets. Optimization is performed on each leaf so that features and learning algorithms can be tailored to local characteristics specific to each leaf.Type: GrantFiled: April 26, 2005Date of Patent: May 25, 2010Assignee: Humana Inc.Inventors: David H.

Patent number: 7610992Abstract: Provided is a method of assembly for a noise suppressor using specific welding and assembly procedures. By welding the inner portion of a noise suppressor to form a semi complete core an outer tube can then be placed over said core to reinforce the noise suppressor as a whole. The described process allows for an overall reduction of tube wall thickness and provides for a reduction of weight. By affixing each baffle, spacer, end cap and mount together as a whole the strength of the entire unit is multiplied. My method is not restricted to any particular baffle technology but may in fact be incorporated into any design where circumferential fusion welds may be used.Type: GrantFiled: December 1, 2007Date of Patent: November 3, 2009Inventor: Kevin Tyson Brittingham

Patent number: 7552559Abstract: Shown is a system for power adjustment of an adjustable parameter of a telescopic site. The system includes a power supply, a reversible motor, a reduction drive, and a wireless receiver in a housing. A wireless controller/transmitter is in operable communication with the wireless receiver and is operable by a user to provide at least two commands to the wireless receiver. The controller/transmitter includes first and secondary momentary contact push button switches for controlling the commands and is adapted to the secured to one or more of the users fingers in preselected positions such that the switches stay in place on the users hand regardless of the users hand position. This may include an at least partial glove that carries the switches and the wireless controller/transmitter.Type: GrantFiled: July 31, 2006Date of Patent: June 30, 2009Inventor: Fred Day

Patent number: 6510778Abstract: The present invention relates to an automatic bolt hold-open rotating assembly to convert a manual bolt hold-open function to an automatic bolt hold-open function in automatic and semi-automatic pistols and rifles, such as the Ruger 10/22 semi-automatic .22 caliber rifle. The components of the assembly readily replace standard factory components in the trigger assembly and replace the standard magazine. The assembly comprises a magazine with channel cutout, a bolt stop, a bolt stop handle for manual manipulation of the assembly, a bolt stop spring to apply clockwise pressure on assembly, a cartridge detecting lever which also serves as a cartridge ejector pivotably mounted on bolt stop with an extension which interfaces with channel cutout of magazine, a tab protruding from the ejector lever which rides in a slot on the bolt stop to limit pivoting of the cartridge detecting lever, and a lever spring allowing counter-clockwise pivoting of cartridge detecting lever to facilitate insertion of recharged magazine.Type: GrantFiled: December 28, 2000Date of Patent: January 28, 2003Assignee: Custom Shooting Technologies, Inc.Inventor: Michael B. Irwin

Patent number: 6024277Abstract: A pocket card, including a planar blank having first and second planar surfaces, and first and second fold lines dividing the planar blank into a back wall portion, a protective flap and a pocket-forming flap. The protective flap is foldable over the back wall portion to define a pocket therebetween. The protective flap is foldable over the folded pocket-forming flap to provide a mailable enclosure. An opening is provided in the back wall portion of the planar blank and a magnet is positioned over the magnet such that the magnet is contained within the mailable enclosure. The pocket card is affixable from a magnetic surface, such as a refrigerator, office desk, filing cabinet or the like, to expose the pocket and a plurality of inserts held therein.Type: GrantFiled: October 6, 1998Date of Patent: February 15, 2000Assignee: Crane Productions, Inc.Inventor: John J.

Patent number: 6024278Abstract: A mailable advertising article includes a planar blank having first and second planar surfaces, and first and second fold lines dividing the planar blank into a back wall portion, a protective flap adjacent the back wall portion along the first fold line, and a pocket-forming flap adjacent the back wall portion along the second fold line. A magnetic sheet is affixed to the second planar surface of the back wall portion. The pocket-forming flap is foldable about the second fold line over the back wall portion and is affixable thereto at at least one preselected location thereon, thereby forming a pocket between the back wall portion and the pocket-forming flap. The protective flap is foldable about the first fold line over the pocket-forming flap and is affixable thereto at at least one preselected location thereon. The second planar surface of the magnetic sheet includes mailing information printed thereon.Type: GrantFiled: December 22, 1998Date of Patent: February 15, 2000Assignee: Crane Productions, Inc.Inventor: John J.
