  • Patent number: 11961598
    Abstract: A method for predicting errors in prescription claim data is performed by a claim analysis device. The method includes extracting historical claim features from successfully processed historical claims received from the data warehouse system. The method includes extracting pending claim features from a pending claim. The method includes applying a binarization process on the extracted historical claim features to obtain a binarized training feature set. The method includes applying the binarization process on the extracted pending claim features to obtain a binarized pending feature set. The method includes calculating an aggregate distance between the binarized pending feature set and the binarized training feature set. The method includes identifying the historical claim associated with the least aggregate distance as a predictive historical claim.

  • Patent number: 10351568
    Abstract: Proteinopathies result from the proteasome not acting efficiently enough to eliminate harmful proteins and prevent the formation of the pathogenic aggregates. As described herein, inhibition of proteasome-associated deubiquitinase Usp14 results in increased proteasome efficiency. The present invention therefore provides novel compositions and methods for inhibition of Usp14, enhancement of proteasome activity and treatment of proteinopathies.

  • Patent number: 9849135
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods of treating or preventing a viral infection resulting from infection by a flavivirus, comprising administering to a subject a small molecule inhibitor of USP14, represented by Formula (I) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, solvate, hydrate, prodrug, chemically-protected form, enantiomer or stereoisomer thereof, and pharmaceutical compositions comprising an effective amount of a compound of Formula (I) for use in the method.

  • Patent number: 9201073
    Abstract: This invention relates to methods and compositions for enhancing proteasome activity in a cell. The methods and compositions for enhancing the activity of the proteasome in cells modulate the activity of Ubp6 (yeast) or Usp14 (human), an endogenous inhibitor of the proteasome. The methods and compositions partially or completely reduce the inhibitory activity of Usp14 on a proteasome, thereby specifically enhancing the protein-degradation activity of the proteasome. The invention also provides methods of screening to identify inhibitors of Ubp6, Usp14, and/or both Ubp6 and Usp14.

  • Patent number: 7853498
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method, system, and computer program product for the on-demand creation and distribution of customized dynamic contracts. At least one business opportunity is extracted from an opportunity database. For each extracted business opportunity, a credit score for a customer associated with the extracted business opportunity is obtained and a dynamically modifiable contract for the extracted business opportunity is generated. The dynamically modifiable contract is distributed to a contact associated with the extracted business opportunity, who presents the dynamically modifiable contract to the customer associated with the extracted business opportunity. The contact can modify the dynamically modifiable contract, if necessary, during negotiations with the customer, to provide a contract that is acceptable to the contact and the customer.
