  • Patent number: 9657906
    Abstract: Runway end identifier light system having a housing with an illumination window, a substrate having a mounting surface disposed within the housing, and a first light-emitting diode (“LED”) disposed on the mounting surface of the substrate. The LED may be configured such that light emitted by the LED is visible through the illumination window of the housing. The LED may have a primary illumination axis which is at an angle greater than 0° with respect to a perpendicular axis of the substrate. Systems with multiple mounting surfaces and multiple LEDs having various primary illumination axes are disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20050288971
    Abstract: The present systems and methods enable an insurance underwriter to offer group term specified disease coverage. Such policies can provide lump-sum benefits for occurrences of conditions that are covered under the policy. In particular, coverages can be provided for specified diseases such as: (1) various forms of cancer; (2) heart attack; (3) coronary artery bypass graft; (4) kidney failure; (5) major organ transplant; (6) stroke; and (7) skin cancer. As will be recognized, different types of cancer may also result in varying levels of coverage. For example, there may be benefit differences for cancers termed “full coverage cancers,” those termed “partial benefits cancers,” and those generally called “other cancer.”.
