  • Patent number: 12056773
    Abstract: Systems and methods for computerized loss scenario modeling and data analytics are provided herein. The systems and methods provide customized claim loss analytics to identify questionable insurance claims that require further investigation and include a database for storing claims data related to one or more loss events, a front-end processor configured to generate a user interface with elements configured to allow a user to select one or more business rules and one or more data points for a custom loss scenario rule, and a primary claims analytics processor in communication with the front-end processor that implements the custom loss scenario rule into a production data flow process, thereby impacting the results of data analytics performed by the primary processor.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20150345824
    Abstract: An air diffuser for use with an air feed in a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system, having a rotatable plenum from which project hollow blades. Each blade has an outlet port along the blade trailing edge, such that air received from an HVAC system flows through the air diffuser and is expelled from the outlet ports, causing the blades to rotate.

  • Patent number: 7898657
    Abstract: A probe for a system for determining the chemical signature of a pharmaceutical compound. The probe comprises: a housing; an inlet in the housing adapted to be connected to a transmitting optical fiber; a scanning aperture in the housing; a receiving outlet in the housing adapted to be connected to a receiving optical fiber; at least one transmission reflector positioned in the housing to receive laser light from the transmitting optical fiber and reflect the laser light through the detection outlet to a pharmaceutical vial containing a pharmaceutical compound positioned outside the housing, and at least one receiving reflector positioned in the housing to receive light reflected by the pharmaceutical compound and reflect the light to the receiving outlet. This configuration can enable rapid and accurate scanning of a pharmaceutical contained in a vial positioned adjacent the detection outlet.
