The CRM information may include name, address, phone number, alternate phone number, facsimile number, email address, relationships, activities, insurance policies, insurance certificates, vehicles owned or leased, associated drivers of said vehicles, equipment owned or leased, property owned, watercraft owned or leased, other insurance schedules, endorsements, risk analysis and/or policy declaration pages.

Abstract: A system and method for remotely displaying screen files and for trapping a customized set of operator input is disclosed. A server generates and deploys a plurality of screen files to a remote client. The screen files each include a plurality of display control elements and a list of events to be trapped and forwarded to the server. The list of events may be optimized for each particular screen file. The remote client displays the plurality of display control elements and stores the list of events. For any event that occurs which is included in the list of events, such as a submit data event, the remote client sends data indicative of the event to the server. The server interprets the data indicative of the occurrence of the event, processes the event, and, if appropriate, generates and sends a command to update the displayed representation of the screen file.

Abstract: A system and method for remotely displaying a plurality of data items is disclosed. The system determines a total quantity of displayable data items and optionally receives an indication of a display control size from a remote client. The server stores a threshold value indicating a relationship between a quantity of data items and a size of a display control. The server compares the quantity of data items and the received indication of the display control size. If the comparison exceeds the threshold value, the server sends a subset of the items to the remote client for display, and sends additional items as requested by the remote client. If the comparison is less than the threshold value, the server sends each of the items to the remote client for display. The server repeats this comparison for changes in the quantity of data items or the size of the display control.

Abstract: The system, method, and apparatus provides a device for scanning documents and importing and forwarding scanned documents based on document identifiers. Documents are received and reviewed for entry into the document management system. An identifier is associated with each document based on the level of available information about the document. An identifier is assigned to each document. Each document with its assigned identifier is scanned. Documents are then imported into the document management system or forwarded to a recipient for additional review. Separator identifiers may be used to increase efficiency. Further, the system may allow certain users to use reporting functions to access information about the document management system and the recipients of documents.

Abstract: A system and method for displaying a set of hierarchical menu items is disclosed. Each menu item may be associated with at least one sub-item and/or with content data. Each sub-item may be associated with content data for display upon selection of the sub-item. The system simultaneously displays each menu item in a list format. Upon selection of one of the menu items, the system displays each sub-item associated with the selected menu item. For any selected sub-item, the system displays the display data associated with the selected sub-item and stores data indicating that the selected sub-item is the most recently-selected sub-item associated with the selected menu item. When any menu item is selected, the system determines the most recently-selected sub-item (if any) associated with the selected menu item and displays the display data associated with the most recently-selected sub-item.

Abstract: A system, method, and apparatus for secure data editing is disclosed. A data field receives focus to accept a data entry from a user. The user inputs a data entry into the data field via a user interface. A determination is made of whether a manual lock event, a change focus event, or a time out event has triggered based on the user's action or inaction with the user interface. Upon the triggering of a manual lock event, a change focus event, or a time out event, the data entry in the data field is obscured. The user interface may display a data entry with a validation character which provides a reference point within the data entry while the data entry is displayed and while the data entry is obscured. The system may allow a user to have a specified function set based on his user access level.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides methods and apparatus for delivering documents. A web based application server transmits a document to a distribution management system. The distribution management system then translates the document if necessary (e.g., from a spreadsheet to a PDF and a fax) and sends the translated document to one or more destinations such as email inboxes, printers, and fax machines. For fax deliveries, the distribution management system sends the document to a particular client device that is associated with the fax destination. For example, the client device that actually transmits the fax may reside at a company, and the fax machine may be at a customer of that company. In this manner, fax transmissions appear to come from the correct source (not the distribution management system), and transmission charges associated with the fax are incurred by the appropriate company (not the company associated with the distribution management system).

Abstract: Electrical current driven through one or the other of two coils (20 and 22) draws a ferromagnetic bob (28) along a chamber (26) containing a liquid whose viscosity is to be measured. The current that flows through the coil includes an AC component, and the resultant magnetic field causes in the other coil an AC voltage whose magnitude depends on the bob's position. A position detector (38, 40) monitors the electromotive force thus induced and concludes that the ferromagnetic bob has reached a predetermined end-of-travel position when the magnitude of the electromotive force has fallen to a predetermined fraction the maximum value that it had attained during the stroke, and a coil driver (36, 38) switches current drive from one coil to the other so as to begin driving the bob in the opposite direction.

Abstract: A method for forming a structural panel such as for a bridge deck includes providing a first and a second sheet formed by fibers and settable resin and laminating the sheets with a plurality of parallel side by side connection members. The connection members are formed by filament winding around a core using primarily a large wind angle followed by a final shallow angle of wrap. The connection members are triangular in cross section and each is inverted relative to the next so that the sides are in contact. The connection members are connected together while the resin is uncured so that during lamination they cure together to allow integration of the resin, close matching of the shapes so that the resin at the junction remains thin and intermingling of the filaments. The connection members are dry wound on a core and the resin is applied by infusion. The core carries reinforcing members to tailor strength as required along the length of the member.

Abstract: A system for continuously monitoring fills of liquid such as fuel oil in a tank, and the condition of the liquid. A dual in-line air bell structure senses fluid pressure at upper and lower locations inside the tank, the locations being spaced a known distance apart from one another in a normal direction relative to the tank. Processing circuitry responsive to the fluid pressures obtained via the air bell structure, determines quantities of liquid contained in the tank at certain times and produces corresponding outputs such as gallons of liquid delivered to the tank at each of a number of delivery times, and total gallons of liquid in the tank as the liquid is consumed. The air bell structure is formed with upper and lower air bell sections joined end-to-end along a common axis. Each of the air bell sections includes at least one aperture in its wall to define a cross-section through the air bell section.

Abstract: A densitometer (10) provides a chamber (24) within which a ferromagnetic bob (27) is shuttled back and forth by alternate driving of two coils (32 and 34). Measurement circuitry (FIG. 2) determines the density of the fluid inside the chamber (24) by comparing the stroke times in opposite directions.

Abstract: A viscometer (10) includes a chamber-defining cylinder (22) within which a bob (26), including a ferromagnetic collar (30), is shuttled back and forth by alternate driving of two coils (32 and 34). Measurement circuitry (FIG. 2) determines the viscosity of fluid inside the chamber (24) by measuring the time required for the bob (26) to make a round trip consisting of one stroke in each direction. By employing round-trip time rather than single-stroke time, the viscometer (10) reduces the sensitivity of the viscosity measurement to orientation with respect to gravity.

Abstract: A viscometer (10) employs a tube (12) with a check valve (30) at one end and a ferromagnetic bobbin (16) disposed inside and freely movable with respect to it. A pair of coils (38 and 40) are alternately energized, causing the bobbin (16) to move against fluid in the tube in one direction, in which the check valve (30) prevents fluid flow, and in the other direction, in which the check valve (30) permits fluid flow within the tube. When the bobbin (16) moves in the direction in which the check valve (30) permits flow, it draws a new sample of fluid into the tube, and the time required for the bobbin (16) to move in the other direction, in which fluid flow is prevented by the check valve (30), is measured as an indication of the viscosity of the fluid. The position of the bobbin is sensed by measuring the mutual inductance between the coils (38 and 40).
