Abstract: The Use Determination Risk Coverage Datastructure for On-Demand and Increased Efficiency Coverage Detection and Rebalancing Apparatuses, Processes and Systems (“UDRCD”) transforms coverage enrollment request, event signal, ACGG request, search request, props ratios calculation request, encounters build request, episodes build request, price calculation request, price range generation request, price range lookup request inputs via UDRCD components into coverage enrollment response, add-in recommendation, ACGG response, search response, props ratios calculation response, encounters build response, episodes build response, price calculation response, price range generation resp., price range lookup resp. outputs. An episodes build request datastructure identifying an encounter type is obtained. An anchor encounter datastructure is selected. A set of other encounter datastructures for the anchor encounter datastructure is determined.

Abstract: The Use Determination Risk Coverage Datastructure for On-Demand and Increased Efficiency Coverage Detection and Rebalancing Apparatuses, Methods and Systems (“UDRCD”) transforms coverage enrollment request, event signal inputs via UDRCD components into coverage enrollment response, add-in recommendation outputs. A coverage enrollment request from a user is obtained. Available options for an enrollment user interface are configured based on the plan sponsor settings. Copay setting selections for individual core coverage services, atomized condition add-in selections, and atomized procedure add-in selections are obtained via the enrollment user interface. A core coverage cost and add-in coverage costs are calculated using the associated modeling data. A user cost for the user is calculated based on the core coverage cost, the subsidization settings for the core coverage cost, the add-in coverage costs, and the subsidization settings for the add-in coverage costs.

Abstract: High-lift systems and related methods are described. An example apparatus includes a fixed wing and a Krueger flap movably coupled to the fixed wing between a stowed position and a deployed position. The Krueger flap includes a first flap portion movably coupled to the fixed wing and a second flap portion movable coupled to the first flap portion. The first flap portion moves relative to the second flap portion between a retracted position and an extended position. The first flap is to move to the retracted position in response to the Krueger flap moving to the stowed position. The first flap is to move to the extended position to define an aerodynamic surface in response to the Krueger flap moving to the deployed position.

Abstract: A leading edge high-lift device, that may be deployable from a wing of an aircraft, may include a leading edge and a trailing edge. A lower surface and an upper surface may both extend between the leading edge and the trailing edge. A trailing edge region may be defined by the trailing edge and an adjacent region thereto. A shaping device may be disposed at the trailing edge region and may be movable between a non-activated position and an activated position.

Abstract: An end seal device for a high-lift device on an airfoil leading edge of an airfoil includes an end seal body configured to be coupled to the airfoil and having a seal body spanwise portion and a seal end. The end seal body is configured to be in a seal extended position when the high-lift device is in a device extended position. The seal body spanwise portion is disposed adjacent to the aircraft body or the airfoil leading edge and the seal end is disposed adjacent to a device end of the high-lift device when the end seal body is in the seal extended position and the high-lift device is in the device extended position. The end seal body in the seal extended position fills a discontinuity otherwise occurring between the device end and the aircraft body or airfoil leading edge if the end seal body were omitted.

Abstract: Described herein are systems and methods for coupling environmental hazard detection and actuation of a wearable chemical sensor at a molecular level. The chemical sensor may be a wearable chemical sensor implemented as a powder, cream, lacquer or other wearable construct. The wearable chemical sensor may detect exposure to various environmental hazards and provide an analog means (e.g., a range of color changes) of indicating the level of environmental hazard exposure.
