Abstract: According to some embodiments, systems and methods for a medical risk underwriting computer system are disclosed. Access to the system is blocked if an invalid password is received. Receipt of a valid password for which a predetermined time period has expired may cause the system to delete some of the components of the medical underwriting computer system. Receipt of a valid password for which a predetermined time period has not expired will provide access to the system. The system is configured to generate graphical interfaces for the input of medical risk factors, to generate suggested values for the risk factors, and to automatically calculate an overall risk level associated with the policy based on the medical risk value associated with each of the plurality of selected medical risk factors. The system then automatically generates a recommended underwriting decision based on the overall risk level, and generates a customized decision document.

Abstract: A system for pushing products for purposes of dispensing the products. Systems can include a base track, a fence tracker, a rear cap, and a rounded front guard that define a product containment channel for containing products in a queue for dispensing. Systems can also include a pusher mechanism for applying a constant and substantially uniform force to a product to push the product towards a rounded front guard where it can be dispensed.

Abstract: According to some embodiments, systems, methods, apparatus, computer program code and means may display information from a medical risk factor computer storage unit. Information associated with an insurance policy, having an insurance policy identifier, may then be received from an underwriter along with a plurality of medical risk factor values for the insurance policy. The plurality of medical risk factor values may be stored into an insurance policy storage unit in association with the insurance policy identifier. An overall risk level associated with the insurance policy may be automatically calculated based on the plurality of medical risk factor values, and at least one file may be locally saved associating overall risk level with the insurance policy identifier and/or medical risk factor values.

Abstract: A method for making the core of a door of autoclaved aerated concrete (AAC). A billet of AAC is provided from which slabs are cut to the approximate dimensions of the door core. A reinforcing band is secured about the perimeter of a slab or a pair of slabs sandwiching a reinforcing panel. The thickness of the slab, or the pair of slabs and reinforcing panel, is then sized for the door core as by sanding. The door is finished by applying skins to the core surfaces and trim to the reinforcing band.

Abstract: The disclosure is directed to an apparatus and method for measuring the presence of a volatile constituent of a sample of ground water or soil mixed with water. In an embodiment of the apparatus, a valve system is provided, and has a plurality of branches. A recloseable and collapsible bag, preferably of the polyethylene freezer bag type, is provided for receiving the sample. The bag has a hole in a wall thereof, preferably near the top ofthe bag. A first of the branches of the valve system is air-tight coupled to the bag via the hole. A detector of the volatile constituent is coupleable to a second of the branches of the valve system. The valve system is operative, in one position thereof, to close off the first branch so as to isolate the bag, and in another position thereof, to couple the first and second branches so that the detector can communicate with the bag.

Abstract: A shipping container for electronic components includes first and second container portions. The second container portion is designed for engagement by the first container portion either as a lid or in nested configuration to minimize the vertical height of the two container portions for empty shipping and storage. The first container portion includes grooved interior side walls and partitions engageable in the grooves to reduce the interior size of the first container portion according to the dictates of the component to be shipped. The interior partitions include layers of resilient foam material which form fit to surface features of the component being shipped. The exterior of the first container portion is grooved to provide handgrips, and one pair of opposed walls of the first container portion extends below the level of the container floor to provide feet for stacking multiple containers, to add shock-absorbing capacity to the container, and to provide a recess within which to engage a hand truck.
