Publication number: 20200302351Abstract: System and methods may facilitate user guidance to risk relationship documents for an enterprise. A risk relationship document data store may contain a set of electronic data records, each electronic data record being associated with a risk relationship document and including a document identifier and a set of document metadata values. A document navigation computer may receive information from a user associated with the enterprise, and, based on the information received from the user and document metadata values, dynamically create a sub-set of the documents in the risk relationship data document data store. An interactive user interface display computer may provide indications associated with the documents in the dynamically created sub-set to the user via an interactive user interface and receive a selected document of the dynamically created sub-set. The user interface display computer may then, responsive to the selection, deliver the selected document to a remote user device.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 21, 2019Publication date: September 24, 2020Inventors: Keith Thomas Clark, James A. Madison, Moon Nagar, Scott Mitchell Mackenthun

Patent number: 10710430Abstract: A system for controlling a temperature a within an interior volume of a cargo trailer adapted to transport perishable goods is described herein. The system includes a fluid distribution assembly and a monitoring system. The fluid distribution assembly is configured to selectively channel a flow of cryogenic cooling fluid into the cargo trailer interior volume to facilitate adjusting a temperature within the interior volume. The monitoring system includes at least one sensor for sensing an environmental parameter of the cargo trailer, and a controller coupled to the sensor and to the fluid distribution assembly. The controller is configured to receive a monitoring signal indicative of the sensed environmental parameter, determine an environmental condition of the cargo trailer as a function of the environmental parameter, and provide a notification signal if the determined environmental condition is different than a predefined environmental condition.Type: GrantFiled: March 8, 2018Date of Patent: July 14, 2020Assignee: RSC Industries Inc.Inventors: Eric William Bryant, Edward John Bratkowski, Andrew D. Frost, Fred Jackson Norvell, III, James Madison Reid, Robert C. Rabine, Paul M. Walling, Thomas Zagotta, Robert S. Rau

Patent number: 10650329Abstract: According to some embodiments, an analytics computing environment data store may contain a set of electronic data records, each electronic data record being associated with a predictive analytic algorithm and including an algorithm identifier and a set of algorithm characteristic values. An analytics environment computer may receive an adjustment from a user associated with an enterprise, the adjustment changing at least one of the set of algorithm characteristic values for a predictive analytic algorithm. Deployment of the predictive analytic algorithm may then be initiated in an enterprise operations workflow and at least one result may be generated. The deployed predictive analytic algorithm may then monitor the result and generate an alert signal when the result exceeds a boundary condition.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 2016Date of Patent: May 12, 2020Assignee: Hartford Fire Insurance CompanyInventors: James A. Madison, Shane Eric Barnes, Tyler L. Kapushinski, Mohan Subramaniam, Ludwig Steven Wasik

Publication number: 20190188797Abstract: According to some embodiments, a risk monitoring data store may contain a set of electronic data records, with each electronic data record being associated with a stream of sensor data received via a communication network from a remote set of sensor systems located at a risk monitoring site. A risk analytics platform computer may receive information associated with the sensor data in substantially real-time and analyze the received sensor data, using at least one risk analytics algorithm, to detect an abnormal pattern associated with a predicted elevated level of risk at the risk monitoring site. The risk analytics platform computer may also automatically transmit a result of the analysis to a risk operations platform. The risk operations platform may then implement an active risk mitigation adjustment at the risk monitoring site responsive to the result of the analysis.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 18, 2017Publication date: June 20, 2019Inventors: Joseph M. Przechocki, Evan Van Dam, James A. Madison

Publication number: 20190188294Abstract: The present system and method is directed to a process to facilitate trusted sources of information in an enterprise. The present system and method positions data governance to move away from the element level and focus on the data asset (i.e. repository, interface, subject) level. When data persons are having any issue with their data asset, whether it is a conflicting data asset, interface issues, competing data asset, new data asset build, data subject issue, or the like, a certifier may operate to assess the asset based on our well defined metrics, determine the health through the data asset scoring process, recommend asset services, and provide those services to the data owner who is ultimately responsible for implementing them to improve the data and the data processes.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 20, 2017Publication date: June 20, 2019Applicant: HARTFORD FIRE INSURANCE COMPANYInventors: Scott Mitchell Mackenthun, James A.
