Publication number: 20200236203Abstract: An electronic device includes a first device housing and a second device housing. A hinge couples the first device housing to the second device housing. The first device housing is pivotable about the hinge relative to the second device housing. The hinge separates a first chamber defined by the first device housing and a second chamber defined by the second device housing. A flexible substrate passes through the first chamber and the second chamber. The flexible substrate spans the hinge, either by passing through or around a hinge housing. The flexible substrate deforms to a curvilinear deformed state within one or both of the first chamber or the second chamber when the first device housing and the second device housing pivot about the hinge from a closed position to an axially displaced open position.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 4, 2020Publication date: July 23, 2020Inventors: Christopher Carlson, Steve Emmert

Publication number: 20180109679Abstract: Systems and methods for intelligently routing a member of an organization to a single point-of-contact within an optimized, secure network to address all the member's healthcare needs are described. The disclosed intelligent routing configurations transform and process, in real-time, vast amounts of member data to generate specialized effort scores specific to each member's household. The effort scores, among other things, are used to determine an appropriate tier within the organization to route the member, and its account file containing real-time member and household level data.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 22, 2017Publication date: April 19, 2018Applicant: UnitedHealth Group IncorporatedInventors: Christopher Carlson, Sean McNattin, Jeffery Greely, Michael T.

Publication number: 20170230622Abstract: Improved systems and methods for timing athletic events. A radio-based starter unit and a radio based timer unit communicate wirelessly via radio. Push buttons/switches and lights and a speaker in the units provide an intuitive, easy to use interface. Handshaking occurs between the starter unit and the timer unit, and lights indicate that the event is ready to start. Real time clocks in the units are synchronized. Upon detection of race or other event start, such as from a starter's pistol, information indicative of the race start time is transmitted from the start unit to the timer unit. A camera in communication with the timer unit provides video frames, and the timer unit encodes and inserts elapsed time information in the video frames, which are then output from the timer unit for review and analysis on a computer.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 18, 2014Publication date: August 10, 2017Applicant: FlashTiming LLCInventors: J.
