  • Patent number: 11094008
    Abstract: A device receives a request for information regarding a debt resolution plan available for a delinquent account. The request may include a first input indicating a payment amount, a second input indicating a payment frequency, and a third input indicating a payment start date. The device obtains account data associated with the delinquent account and determines, using a model, a score for the delinquent account based on the first input, the second input, the third input, and/or the account data. The score predicts a likelihood that the delinquent account will charge off within a predetermined time period. The device determines a plurality of plan parameters for an accelerated charge off plan when the score satisfies a threshold. The device transmits the plurality of plan parameters, receives an enrollment request, enrolls the delinquent account in the accelerated charge off plan, and performs one or more actions based on the enrolling.

  • Patent number: 11089996
    Abstract: Various methods and machines have been used in the past to measure electrical characteristics of living tissue for purpose of locating an area of abnormal nervous system activity. However, whereas prior art methodologies merely allow for the detection of pain, the apparatus, system and method of the present invention allow for the objective assessment pain severity that finds utility not only the initial diagnosis but also the on-going treatment of any disease, disorder or injury associated therewith. To that end, the apparatus, system and method of the present invention allows medical practitioners to non-invasively and quantitatively distinguish organic pain from psychosomatic pain and legitimate pain patients from drug seekers and opiod addicts, as well as to directly and objectively compare the efficacy of different drug regimens and therapy protocols.

  • Patent number: 11094715
    Abstract: A three-dimensional memory device includes an alternating stack of insulating layers and electrically conductive layers located over a substrate. The alternating stack includes a first region in which all layers of the alternating stack are present and a second region in which at least a topmost one of the electrically conductive layers is absent. First memory opening fill structures extend through the first region of the alternating stack, and second memory opening fill structures extend through the second region of the alternating stack. The first memory opening fill structures have a greater height than the second memory opening fill structures. Pocket doping regions extending over a respective subset of topmost electrically conductive layers for the memory opening fill structures can be formed to provide higher threshold voltages and to enable selective activation of vertical semiconductor channels connected a same bit line.

  • Patent number: 11094401
    Abstract: Patient identification is transmitted to a health care provider prior to the patient arriving at the health care provider. The patient identification may be a driver's license, health insurance card, or other identification, and may be used to pre-register the patient. The transmission may include other information, such as health status, purpose of visit, intended procedures, symptoms, or other information. The transmission may be made via a device, such as a cellular telephone, where the information may be encrypted and transmitted using a secure mechanism. The system may be used by ambulance personnel, paramedics, or other emergency responders to notify a hospital, for example, of an inbound patient, as well as by patients prior to an appointment. The system may also be used by clinicians or other health care providers to prepare for emergent or non-emergent patients prior to arrival.

  • Patent number: 11092184
    Abstract: A rivet nut (“rivnut”) installation method and a rivnut structural configuration are disclosed that can be implemented separately in conjunction with one another to serve as an anchor in and/or a workpiece at an installation location. The rivnut installation method involves inserting a rivnut onto an externally threaded mandrel, rotating the mandrel while a free end of the mandrel is in contact with the workpiece, and driving the free end of the mandrel and the rivnut through the workpiece while continuing to rotate the mandrel. The method is particularly useful when the workpiece includes one or more substrate layers composed of a low ductility material such as a polymer composite. The rivnut structural configuration includes the incorporation of an external threading onto at least a portion of a hollow shaft of the rivnut.
