  • Publication number: 20260094217
    Abstract: Machine learning systems and methods for automated claims data and workflow processing are provided. The system includes a property claims processing platform which monitors for one or more automation trigger events in connection with an insurance claims property file. When the one or more automation trigger events is detected, the system identifies and executes one or more automated claims processing workflows in response to the detected trigger events. The workflows can be pre-defined and/or user-defined workflows that are selected in response to pre-defined logic or heuristic rules, and/or they could be selected by one or more machine learning algorithms.

  • Publication number: 20250285190
    Abstract: Artificial intelligence systems and methods are provided for automatic property damage estimate generation and contents pricing from textual and image data. The system generates an initial prompt for submission to an AI model and modifies the prompt to include additional information relating to historical claims data, property data, and/or other data. The system then submits the modified prompt to one or more AI models along with one or more of textual data and photo data. Output of the AI model(s) is then processed by the system to generate a damage estimate, which could be delivered in the form of natural language output, lists, and/or category and selector codes operable with a software-based insurance claims processing system. Additionally, the system can process textual and/or video (e.g., photo) information in order to automatically generate a list of contents and associated prices, using one or more custom-trained AI models.

  • Publication number: 20250169735
    Abstract: Apparatus and associated methods relate to assisting gait impaired patients. In an illustrative example, a gait assisting apparatus may be wearable by a user including a sensor module and an actuator. The sensor module may be configured to generate a sensor measurement from measured data associated with the user. For example, a controller operably coupled to the sensor module may include a local classification model configured to classify a gait situation based on a classification input received from the sensor module. In some implementations, an activation module of the controller may generate an activation level to control the actuator. In operation, the activation module may apply the local classification model to the classification input to determine the activation level of the actuator to generate a vibration gait assistance and/or illumination guidance. Various embodiments may advantageously provide a gait assistant function to prevent gait impairment injuries.

  • Publication number: 20160162322
    Abstract: Debugging capabilities for software running in a cloud-computing environment are disclosed. A controller identifies which machines in the cloud are running instances of software to be debugged. An agent is deployed onto the machines in the cloud to facilitate communication with the developer's machine. When the developer wants to debug software on the agent's machine, the agent downloads and installs a monitor onto the machine. The agent configures the machine for remote debugging via the monitor. A security mechanism ensures that only authenticated developers can access the monitor and the remote machine for debugging. A controller automatically determines which machines can be debugged, updates a list of processes available for debugging on the machines, and identifies how to connect a developer's debugging client to the machines. The controller permits remote debugging only upon request from an authenticated developer and only for those processes that the developer is permitted to debug.

  • Patent number: 8352851
    Abstract: Briefly, in accordance with one embodiment of the invention, a form author may declaratively state a condition under which a break event may occur to insert a break between data items in a list of data items. Optionally, formatting, a leader subform, and/or a trailer subform may be inserted between the data items in the event the condition is satisfied. Such a declarative condition may be introduced into an XFA template specification. A condition that may be evaluated may include mathematical operation, a Boolean expression, an integer expression, a floating point expression, a string expression, and/or a data item evaluation. A new layout of the list of data items may be implemented without transformation of the original layout of the list of data items wherein the list of data items may revert to the original layout of the list of data items, for example after performing an operation on the new layout of the list of data items.

  • Patent number: 8336043
    Abstract: A method and system for dynamically downloading custom code for execution within a host application is provided. A deployment system augments the manifest used for deploying managed applications to include information describing how the host application is to use the custom code, referred to as host manifest information. The deployment system reports the progress of the downloading of the manifest and the custom code to the host application. The host application can then perform appropriate host-specific processing. The host application may provide to the deployment system an interface for verifying the trust of the custom code. The deployment system also allows the host application to control the uninstalling of the custom code.
