  • Patent number: 11935127
    Abstract: This technology relates to providing a web-based digital claims platform to provide users with a simple and customized experience when filing insurance claims. The platform is enabled by a plurality of back-end application programming interface (API) resources. These API resources are event-driven (e.g., when an “event” associated with the claim occurs, the status of the claim changes and the API is provided with updated information indicative of the change). The platform includes a customized user interface (UI) that tailors the claim experience to a particular user's needs. The customization can be based off of stated user preferences and/or learned user preferences associated with the user's past behavior. A user can perform/request various services through the customized UI's self-service function (e.g., rent a car, find a hotel room, select a repair shop, etc.). Additionally, the customized UI can enable the user upload documents, track claim status, find relevant help topics, etc.

  • Publication number: 20230419413
    Abstract: A system and method for guiding a user after an accident and gathering relevant data for an insurance claim and/or a coverage determination. The system includes a mobile device having a memory element, processing element, communication element and user interface. The mobile device may also include a sensor and/or global positioning system. The user interface and/or sensor of the mobile device (e.g., microphone, GPS, camera, etc.) may receive information relevant to an insurance claim, including by directing a user to capture images of relevant objects and/or querying the user for verbal description(s) of facts regarding the accident. The information gathered may be saved on the memory element of the mobile device. The information may also be transmitted to a server via a network in the form of a structured incident data report.

  • Patent number: 10356034
    Abstract: Examples of systems and methods for processing email bounceback messages are disclosed. One disclosed method includes the steps of receiving a bounceback email message, determining a classification for the bounceback email message, determining a corrective action for the bounceback email message based on the classification, and executing the corrective action. In another example, program code for performing such a method is encoded on a non-transitory computer-readable media.

  • Publication number: 20060051369
    Abstract: Methods for enhancing the production of viral vaccines in cell culture are described, as are the cell cultures. These methods rely on the suppression of the levels of ADAR1 in interferon-deficient cells. The methods comprise (a) infecting a cell culture with a donor virus, wherein said cell culture is an interferon-deficient cell culture that is deficient in ADAR1 activity; (b) culturing said infected cell culture under conditions sufficient to provide efficient virus growth; and (c) harvesting the virus produced.

  • Patent number: 6629106
    Abstract: The invention is a common event monitoring, fusion and reasoning framework that integrates horizontally into many different application domain areas. The system includes a monitor for detecting occurrences of predetermined events from a monitored system, providing data in response to the occurrence and processing the data as a data relation in a database. Predetermined events are recorded in a database using an event pattern language that defines and compiles events in terms of first order logic over a universe of events. The language provides common patterns that allow event patterns (i.e., event rules and relations) to be specified by the client dynamically. These specified event patterns are then compiled into the database. The compiled code automatically triggers responses when specific event patterns are stored in the database. After compilation, additional event patterns may be recognized dynamically by formulating queries into the database using a standard query language such as SQL.
