  • Patent number: 11901080
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for determining a risk assessment corresponding to a level of risk that a user of a service organization has or will develop a condition. The techniques include receiving user data associated with a user record of a user. The techniques further include inputting the user data into a trained prediction model of a user condition prediction system. The user data may include a plurality of data points, weighted relative to each other, that respectively correspond to one of a plurality of categories. The techniques further include determining, by the trained prediction model, a risk assessment of a user condition based on the user data. The risk assessment may then be provided to a user device of a user service agent for use coordinating user service.

  • Patent number: 9695050
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for processing metal sulfate compounds and sequestering CO2. These systems and processes involve one or more electrochemical cells for producing an alkali-containing catholyte and involve a CO2 absorption reactor operatively connected to the electrochemical cell and to a CO2 source. The CO2 absorption reactor receives the alkali-containing catholyte and CO2 gas for forming an alkaline carbonate solution. The alkaline carbonate solution is directed to a vessel where it reacts with an acidic sulfate solution comprising metal ions resulting in precipitation of solid metal carbonate compounds. The acidic sulfate solution may comprise sulfide leachates from acid mine drainage, sulfide mine tailings and/or reacted pyrite concentrate. The acidic sulfate solution may be circulated through an optional SO2 reduction reactor prior to reaction in the vessel. The SO2 reduction reactor reduces trivalent metal compounds present in the acidic sulfate solution to divalent metal compounds.

  • Patent number: 6158881
    Abstract: The seat post includes a hollow support tube 1 which is partly inserted into a cycle frame 24 and carries a bracket 2 for supporting a seat. A series of light-emitting diodes 12 mounted on a printed circuit board 8 emit light through windows 13 in the support member. The circuit board also carries a flush-mounted or recessed on/off switch 9 which is accessible to control the supply of power to the diodes 12. Power may be supplied by one or more cells 16 inserted in the support member via a removable bottom end cap 21. The support member can also contain rechargeable cells which can be recharged via a power connector 32 at the bottom end of the support member.
