Patent number: 11972462Abstract: A system includes a computing device comprising a memory storing instructions configured to cause a processor to receive: purchase data associated with products purchased by a user, online activity data performed by the user and other users and associated with information pertaining to the products, and vendor information comprising retail sales data, after-market sales data, and product availability associated with the products. The processor determines one or more values of the products based on the purchase data, the online activity data, and the vendor information and whether the purchased products correspond to specialty products based on the purchase data, the online activity data, and the values of the products. The processor may then send a notification to the user comprising an offer for insurance for the products in response to determining the products correspond to specialty products.Type: GrantFiled: April 15, 2022Date of Patent: April 30, 2024Assignee: United Services Automobile Association (USAA)Inventors: Galo M.

Patent number: 10653269Abstract: In some embodiments, a cooking pot assembly includes a lid with a venting assembly. The venting assembly may include three different selectable modes, including a first mode for whistling venting, a second mode for non-whistling venting, and a third mode for non-venting. In some embodiments, the venting assembly is recessed into the lid. Also, the venting assembly may include a base portion that is secured within a recess portion of the lid to resist rotation, while a rotor of the venting assembly is mated with the base portion, but able to rotate relative to the base portion for use in selecting a venting mode.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2018Date of Patent: May 19, 2020Inventors: Jay H. Jamison, Michael C. Mossman, Bryan S. Cabatic, Blake R. Stancik, Gregory J. Martin, Aaron M. McDaniel, Mark Taylor

Publication number: 20150265218Abstract: Improved methods and apparatus for non-invasively assessing one or more parameters associated with fluidic systems such as the circulatory system of a living organism, when such parameters are potentially affected by other concurrent events. In one exemplary embodiment, apparatus and methods for compensating for occlusive events (e.g., pressure cuff inflation) occurring ipsilateral to the location of parameter measurement are disclosed. Upon passive detection of signal degradation resulting from the event, the apparatus selectively enters a “wait state” wherein further processing of the hemodynamic data is suspended until the degrading event subsides. This behavior mitigates any adverse effects the event might have on the accuracy of the representation of the measured hemodynamic parameter generated by the system. In another exemplary embodiment, the measured data is analyzed in order to classify the type of event (e.g.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 23, 2015Publication date: September 24, 2015Inventors: GREGORY J.

Publication number: 20150201845Abstract: Improved methods and apparatus for non-invasively assessing one or more parameters associated with fluidic systems such as the circulatory system of a living organism. In a first aspect, an improved method of continuously measuring pressure from a compressible vessel is disclosed, wherein a substantially optimal level of compression for the vessel is achieved and maintained using perturbations (e.g., modulation) of the compression level of the vessel. In one exemplary embodiment, the modulation is conducted according to a pseudo-random binary sequence (PBRS). In a second aspect, an improved apparatus for determining the blood pressure of a living subject is disclosed, the apparatus generally comprising a pressure sensor and associated processor with a computer program defining a plurality of operating states related to the sensed pressure data. Methods for pressure waveform correction and reacquisition, as well as treatment using the present invention, are also disclosed.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 2, 2015Publication date: July 23, 2015Inventors: Gregory I.

Patent number: 5204914Abstract: A character recognition method comprising the following steps: (1) acquiring a two dimensional array of pixels, (2) locating an unknown character in the two dimensional array, (3) computing weighted correlation coefficients between the unknown character and a trained set of characters (i.e. a font), (4) recognizing the unknown character as the trained character with the highest weighted correlation coefficient above a threshold. The weights in the correlation calculations are adjusted to place more emphasis on those areas of a trained character that distinguishes it from all other trained characters in the training set. A method for optimally adjusting these weights is described herein.Type: GrantFiled: August 30, 1991Date of Patent: April 20, 1993Assignee: Eastman Kodak CompanyInventors: James A. Mason, Gregory J.

Patent number: 5159644Abstract: A character recognition method comprising the following steps: (1) acquiring a two dimensional array of pixels, (2) locating an unknown character in the two dimensional array, (3) computing statistically weighted correlation coefficients between the unknown character and a trained set of characters (i.e. a font), (4) recognizing the unknown character as the trained character with the highest correlation coefficient above a threshold. The weights in the correlation calculations are adjusted to place more emphasis on those areas of a character that exhibit less noise and less emphasis on those areas of the character that exhibit more noise. A method for determining and using these weights is described herein.Type: GrantFiled: August 30, 1991Date of Patent: October 27, 1992Assignee: Eastman Kodak CompanyInventors: Gregory J.
