Abstract: A portable system for carrying a monitor and a computing device inside a case. The case can be made from two shells attached together by a hinge. A monitor can be housed in each shell, the monitors operatively connected to each other. The monitor and any other components in the first shell can be connected to the monitor and any other components in the second shell via cables fed through a conduit connecting the first shell to the second shell. The conduit is on the inside of the case to protect the cables when the case is in the closed configuration. One or both shells can further have an auxiliary door through which a thin component, such as a keyboard, tablet, laptop, and the like can be inserted into the case. One or both shells can be equipped with ports for power, and communicating and networking with other devices.

Abstract: Disclosed are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable storage media for copying content from a rendered document into another document. The disclosed technology addresses the need in the art to maintain a version of a collection of content items that includes changes and/or comments from a first group of users, and provide a second version of the collection of content items to an external user that does not include internal comments and/or visible changes. The solution may provide a work product that appears complete and/or professional to the second group of users, while the first group of users continue to update and/or collaborate on the first version of the collection of content items.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to systems and methods for real-time rating, underwriting and policy issuance for the insurance industry. A process according to the present invention, as may be implemented via an appropriate computer environment, will include several steps in providing real-time rating, underwriting and policy issuance. Accordingly, identification information associated with a particular applicant is received. A connection is established with one or more information sources that may have data related to the applicant that may be relevant to the real-time rating and underwriting of an insurance policy for the applicant. A request for relevant data is transmitted over the respective connections. The relevant data is received from the information sources. Based upon the received relevant data, an offer of insurance is generated for the particular applicant. In some embodiments, a dynamic pricing factor may be used in generating the offer.

Abstract: A process for the preparation of a compound or polymer having at least one functional group selected from hydroxyl, thiol, amino and carboxylic acid groups is characterized in that a compound or polymer (A) containing a group of formula (I), ##STR1## where Q represents O or S and X represents --O--, --S--, --NH-- or a direct bond, the group being linked to the remainder of the compound or polymer through a carbon atom, is reacted with a compound (B) containing at least two functional groups selected from hydroxyl, thiol, amino and carboxylic acid groups, one of which functional groups (II) reacts with the group of formula (I) and one of which functional groups (III) is substantially unreactive with the group of formula (I) under the conditions of reaction, so that the compound (B) becomes bonded to (A) through the reaction of groups (I) and (II) forming a compound or polymer containing unreacted functional groups (III).
