Abstract: The present embodiments relate to enhancing the online customer experience and handling of auto, home, and/or other insurance claims. A website and/or graphical user interface may offer customers clear instruction on what is needed from them to process their claim. An online self-service channel may allow an insurance customer to access claim status information. The online self-service channel may provide “My Action Items” list functionality for customers, such that they become aware of pending items on their claim(s) which require action on their part to expedite the claim process, such as uploading photos, forms, or receipts. The actions items may be automatically created, such as by a server or electronic claim system tracking the progress of an insurance claim. The self-service channel may include an indication that the customer has completed the action item, and an indication that the insurance provider has confirmed the completion of the customer's action item.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to pharmaceutical combination products comprising a muscarinic acetylcholine receptor antagonist, fluticasone propionate and salmeterol xinafoate, and to their use in the treatment of inflammatory or respiratory tract diseases.

Abstract: Systems and methods for protecting a network including providing a mapping between internal addresses as seen by devices of the protected network and external addresses; providing devices with a mapped address for a destination in response to a lookup request; rewriting, at a gateway, destination addresses of packets exiting the protected network based on the mapping; and rewriting, at the destination-network gateway, source addresses of packets entering the protected network based on the mapping. Embodiments include a gateway coupled to a protected network, an external network, and a name server. The name server, in response to a hostname lookup request, configured to provide a network device with the internal address; and the gateway with a mapping including the internal address, the addresses of the device, and the hostname. The gateway configured to rewrite destination addresses of outbound packets, and source addresses of inbound packets, based on the mapping.

Abstract: A doll system is provided and comprises a plurality of dolls. The form and likeness of each doll is based on a plurality of developmental stages of a specific female or male child. Each doll is constructed to directly correspond to images of actual models at different ages.

Abstract: Systems and methods for protecting a network including preventing data traffic from exiting the network unless a domain name request has been performed by a device attempting to transmit the data traffic. In an embodiment, a device within the protected network attempting to send data outside the protected network requests an address for a destination outside the protected network from a domain name server (DNS). In response, the DNS provides an address of the destination to the device and a gateway. In response to receiving the address, the gateway temporarily allows access to the address. In an embodiment, a DNS is coupled to a protected network and the gateway, the DNS provides an external address to a device in response to a request; and a mapping to the gateway; the gateway, coupled to a protected network and an external network, allows traffic according to the mapping.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to pharmaceutical combination products comprising a muscarinic acetylcholine receptor antagonist, fluticasone propionate and salmeterol xinafoate, and to their use in the treatment of inflammatory or respiratory tract diseases.

Abstract: An electricity storage system comprising a reversible fuel cell having a first electrode and a second electrode separated by an ionically conducting electrolyte, and at least two chambers adapted to hold fuel and/or a reaction product, wherein the system is substantially closed and at least one reactant for discharge is hydrogen or oxygen.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to methods and systems for queuing traffic in packet-switched networks. In one of many possible embodiments, a queue management system includes a plurality of queues and a priority module configured to assign incoming packets to the queues based on priorities associated with the incoming packets. The priority module is further configured to drop at least one of the packets already contained in the queues. The priority module is configured to operate across multiple queues when determining which of the packets contained in the queues to drop. Some embodiments provide for hybrid queue management that considers both classes and priorities of packets.

Abstract: The systems and methods described herein include adaptive routing processes for packet-based wireless communication networks. This routing approach works both in MANETs (when a contemporaneous end-to-end path is available) and in DTNs (when a contemporaneous end to end path is not available, but one of formed over space and time). In particular, the methods include adaptively selecting a routing process for transmitting a packet through a node in the network based on available information on the network topology and/or the contents of the packet.

Abstract: A method of determining correlated flows in a network may include obtaining times of arrival and corresponding flows for data units in the network (1020) and assigning weights to a set of data units based on respective times between the set of data units and one data unit (1030). A probability matrix representing interflow connections in the network may be updated based on the assigned weights (1040).

Abstract: A method and system is provided for detecting correlated connections in an extended connection. A plurality of stepping stone detection algorithms are executed in parallel (400), each of the plurality of stepping stone detection algorithms generating a result. The results are scored for each of the plurality of stepping stone detection algorithms (402). A consensus attack path is generated based upon the scored results (404).

Abstract: A system and method for determining the point of entry of a malicious packet into a network is disclosed. An intrusion detection system detects entry of the malicious packet into the network (500). A stepping stone detection system identifies stepping stones in extended connections within the network (524). A traceback engine isolates the malicious packet in response to operation of the intrusion detection system (528), wherein the traceback engine utilizes the identified stepping stones to determine the point of entry of the malicious packet.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention are directed to methods, systems and computer program products for developing a client relationship program. The method for developing a client relationship program includes determining information desired to be included in a client relationship profile, inputting client identification information into an interface and querying a plurality of operation's areas systems with the client identification information.

Abstract: A solid electrolyte fuel cell component is formed by tape casting an electrolyte layer and electrode layers to form a green tape which can be manipulated. The green tape is coiled into a form having an S-shaped central portion having oppositely-directed loops, so as to provide a first longitudinal channel presenting an anode surface and a second longitudinal channel presenting a cathode surface. After coiling, the assembly is fired to produce a solid, sintered product.
