Abstract: Mediums, apparatus, computer program code, and means may be provided to customize electronic records associated with a distributed communication network via an automated back-end application computer server. According to some embodiments, a relational database management system database and a plurality of database tables linked to the relational database management system database may be accessed. The back-end application computer server may retrieve electronic record layout information and utilize pre-determined logic associated with the plurality of linked tables, including logic that matches multiple pointers within a single pair of linked tables, to automatically insert accessed data into a customized electronic record in accordance with the electronic record layout information. The customized electronic record may then be transmitted to be rendered via an interactive user interface display.

Abstract: A computer system includes an input device. The input device is configured to receive input data for initiating a variable annuity account issued by an insurance company. The input data includes identifying information for the account holder and the amount to be invested in the account. The variable annuity includes a guarantee feature. The computer system also includes a processor, a program memory and a storage device. The processor is operative with program instructions stored in the program memory to allocate the amount invested between two different investment funds. One of the funds includes an equity asset or an equity index asset. The other fund includes a hedging component that is selected to be negatively correlated in terms of asset value changes with the equity asset or equity index asset.

Abstract: A spherical enclosure for a camera, has in some examples, an optically transmitting wall, a highly-reflective external surface, a coated internal surface, a collapsible internal lining, and a support tube. The wall may have a region of varying wall thickness providing a lens. The collapsible internal liner is made of a material that obscures the camera's silhouette, and is inserted through an opening in the wall while folded, and then expands into position. The inner surface of the enclosure may be coated with a material that reduces internal reflections. The camera, when mounted in the enclosure has the optical center of the camera coincident with the geometric center of the spherical enclosure, so that distortion of the camera image is minimized.

Abstract: ICEY WRAP can be used primarily during many outdoor activities in hot climates to help keep cool. Ice is used as the primary cooling medium. As ice melts in the internal compartment, water is absorbed by polymer crystals in the lower chamber of the wrap, is needed to continue keeping the wrap cool. Ice is more accessible, quicker to use and can be transported in any size ice chest during outside activities. Ice is also readily available at convenience stores, fast food restaurants and other establishments where outdoor activities take place. Adding ice to the ICEY WRAP is more sanitary than putting an entire traditional neck cool into an ice chest or water container that may have other items inside. Current forms of neck ties need to be periodically soaked in cold water for 10-20 minutes or placed in a refrigerator for up to 10 to 20 minutes to keep them cold. Most outdoor activities do not allow for quick access to a refrigerator and the longer delay of cooling can hinder one's activity.

Abstract: A fuser component useful in electrostatographic machines is provided, having a substrate, and thereover a coating composition comprising a haloelastomer, such as, for example, a fluoroelastomer, and a deflocculating agent. A fuser component comprising a deflocculating agent exhibits improved properties including, but not limited to, increased gloss and a smoother coating surface with a relatively high adhesive strength. The use of a deflocculating agent also reduces or eliminates the barium sulfate defect.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention describe an insulation system comprising: a primary shell; a secondary shell positioned to cover at least a portion of the primary shell; a cryogenic fluid contained by the primary shell and at least one load-bearing primary insulation component disposed between the secondary shell and the primary shell. Optionally an intermediary shell is placed between the primary shell and the secondary shell along with a secondary insulation component resulting in a shell/insulation/shell/insulation/shell arrangement. In either arrangement, the primary, secondary or both insulation components comprise a material with a nanoporous aerogel optionally reinforced with a fibrous element.
