  • Publication number: 20240095840
    Abstract: A computer-assisted method for providing re-quotations for insurance coverage may include receiving a list of insurance leads corresponding to individuals who received a previous quotation for insurance coverage but did not purchase the insurance coverage and identifying a difference between the previous quotation and a new quotation. This difference may include an increase in offered insurance coverage and/or a reduction in cost. A computing device may calculate a probability for each of the individuals on the list using a regression model based, at least in part, on the identified difference. In some cases, the regression model may be associated with individual states. In other cases, the regression model may correspond to a plurality of states. The regression model may output a probability that a resident of a particular state will purchase insurance in response to a re-quotation for insurance coverage, where individuals may then be ranked based on the probability.

  • Patent number: 11932381
    Abstract: According to an aspect, a method of assembling a mandrel includes assembling a plurality of members via interlocking features arranged at opposing edges of each member of the plurality of members to form a compartment, the assembled members having a collective outer surface that conforms to an inner surface of the spar. A support member is inserted into the compartment formed radially inward from the assembled members, the support member making contact with a portion of each member of the plurality of members.

  • Patent number: 11860898
    Abstract: One or more techniques and/or computing devices are provided for non-disruptively establishing a synchronous replication relationship between a primary volume and a secondary volume and/or for resynchronizing the primary volume and the secondary volume. For example, a baseline snapshot and one or more incremental snapshots of the primary volume are used to construct and incrementally update the secondary volume with data from the primary volume. A dirty region log is used to track modifications to the primary volume. A splitter object is used to split client write requests to the primary volume and to the secondary volume. A synchronous transfer engine session is initiated to processing incoming client write requests using the dirty region log. A cutover scanner is used to transfer dirty data from the primary volume to the secondary volume. In this way, a synchronous replication relationship is established between the primary volume and the secondary volume.

  • Publication number: 20230289069
    Abstract: One or more techniques and/or computing devices are provided for resynchronization. For example, a request may be received to create pseudo snapshots of a first consistency group, hosted by a first storage controller, and a second consistency group, hosted by a second storage controller, having a synchronous replication relationship with the first consistency group. Incoming client write requests are logged within an intercept tracking log at the first storage controller. After a first drain without hold of incoming write requests is performed, a first pseudo common snapshot of the second consistency group is created. After a second drain without hold of incoming write operations is performed, a second pseudo common snapshot of the first consistency group and the intercept tracking log is created. The pseudo snapshots and the intercept tracking log (e.g., indicating a delta between the pseudo snapshots) are used to resynchronize the first and second consistency groups.

  • Patent number: 11433996
    Abstract: A pitch beam movable by a pitch change shaft to adjust a pitch of at least one rotor blade of a rotor system via a pitch linkage includes a first surface having a generally planar configuration, a smooth second surface disposed opposite the first surface, and a sidewall extending between the first surface and the second surface. A pitch linkage connection point is disposed at the sidewall to which the pitch linkage is attachable. An interior is defined between the first surface and the second surface and an opening extends through the first and second surface at a rotational axis of the rotor system to which the pitch change shaft is attached. Movement of the pitch change shaft moves the pitch beam and adjusts the pitch of the at least one rotor blade via the pitch linkage attached at the pitch linkage connection point.

  • Patent number: 10906639
    Abstract: A bushing assembly for receiving a fastener includes a first bushing portion and a second bushing portion arranged coaxially with the first bushing portion. The second bushing portion defines at least part of an opening for receiving the fastener. The second bushing portion is rotatable relative to the first bushing portion about an axis of rotation to adjust a position of the opening about a first axis and a second axis independently relative to the first bushing portion and the second bushing portion. The first axis is coplanar with and perpendicular to the second axis.
