Patent number: 11819466Abstract: A bathroom facility transfer system, including a mobile base, a stationary base, and a removable bridge is disclosed. A user seated in a chair, is positioned adjacent to a bathroom facility with the mobile base. The removable bridge connects the mobile base to the stationary base, which is removably affixed to the bathroom facility, to allow the chair carrying the user to be moved between the mobile base and the stationary base. A chair blocking member on the removable base is movable between a) a chair blocking position, and b) a chair unblocking position. At least one opposed end of the chair blocking member interferes with movement of the chair onto the removable bridge from the mobile base or the stationary base, when the chair blocking member is in the chair blocking position. A method of assisting a user with accessing a bathroom facility is also disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 2021Date of Patent: November 21, 2023Assignee: RAZ DESIGN INC.Inventors: Nelson W. H. Pang, Ethan David Maiolo, David James Harding, Lukas Jeroen ten Kortenaar, Steven Yi

Publication number: 20230126733Abstract: A broker system infrastructure includes a database warehouse configured to store and provide insurance data for one or more clients, and a data analytics server in communication with the database warehouse. The broker system infrastructure analyzes policy data and member data to define a model configured to identify a relationship therebetween, receives query data including first member data, uses the policy data to generate a quote based on the query data, and applies the query data and the quote to the model to determine whether the quote is inaccurate. If the quote is inaccurate, the broker system infrastructure modifies the policy data and member data to incorporate to the quote and first member data, and analyzes at least the modified policy data and member data to modify the model such that the model is configured to identify a relationship therebetween.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 22, 2021Publication date: April 27, 2023Inventors: Edward Laslett, James Harding, Andrew S. Yee, Pranjivan Pillay, Garret Fontes, Warren Burns
