  • Publication number: 20240270299
    Abstract: A pushcart having a foldable L-shaped frame capable of securing different modules thereto. The frame includes a lower horizontal frame member and an upper vertical frame member. Both frame members include uniformly spaced cross bars. One of more cross bars may be utilized to secure different modules thereto. The modules can be changed based on the usage of the cart. The modules may be such that they fold up so that they can stay secured to the frame when the frame is folded for storage.

  • Patent number: 11586431
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods, systems, and processes to perform self-dependent upgrades of Java Runtime Environments (JREs). A request to update a plugin to a new version with a new configuration that includes a location to download a new upgrader-executable is received from a platform computing device at an endpoint computing device. The plugin is uploaded to the new version. The new upgrader-executable that includes an executable with an executable table executed by the plugin is downloaded from the location. The executable is used to halt execution of a JRE application (e.g., a Collector) and download JRE files required for the upgrade. The JRE application (e.g., the Collector) is then re-started with the new configuration, which can be rolled back if the upgrade is unsuccessful.

  • Patent number: 10825095
    Abstract: A system and method for evaluating an insurance applicant as part of an underwriting process to determine one or more appropriate terms of life or other insurance coverage, such as premiums. A processing element employing a neural network is trained to correlate aspects of appearance and/or voice with personal and/or health-related characteristic. A database of images and/or voice recordings of individuals with known personal and/or health-related characteristics is provided for this purpose. The processing element is then provided with an image and/or voice recording of the insurance applicant. The image may be an otherwise non-diagnostic image, such as an ordinary “selfie.

  • Publication number: 20200250757
    Abstract: The present invention concerns methods of providing feedback to a user based on the amount of risk underlying an options contract. The invention uses a display screen, with a selection mechanism, to allow the user to interface directly the with parameters of a potential options, while providing feedback, typically in the form of color changes, vibration, or sounds, to the user while the risk of the options contract increases. Evaluating the underlying risk of an options contract is a difficult process for the individual investor who lacks the advanced mathematical models of institutional investors. The present invention consolidates the factors into a simplified tool that analyzes the factors and communicates risk to the user through the feedback mechanisms.

  • Publication number: 20070214403
    Abstract: A Random Access Error Detection and Correction unit (RAEDAC) that incorporates a bit-wise error detection and correction unit (BEDAC) in a memory system. In one embodiment, a word-wise error detection and correction unit (WEDAC) operates in coordination with a BEDAC that performs a bit-wise parity calculation. In another embodiment, a WEDAC operates in coordination with a full bit-wise BEDAC that calculates bit-wise check bits. The RAEDAC may be applied to create a multi-dimensional EDAC where, for example, the memory is partitioned into a stack of planes, and a stack-wise error detection and correction unit (SEDAC) is implemented.

  • Publication number: 20070136791
    Abstract: A FireNet security system in which trustworthy networks, called BlackNets, each comprising One (1) or more client computers, are protected by FireBreaks against attacks from untrustworthy networks, called RedNets. All incoming transactions from the RedNet are examined by the FireBreak to determine if they violate any of a plurality of protection rules stored in a local protection rules database. Any transaction found to be in violation is discarded. Valid transactions are forwarded to the BlackNet. If an otherwise valid transaction is found to be suspicious, the FireBreak will forward to a FireNet Server relevant information relating to that transaction. If the FireNet Server verifies that the transaction is indeed part of an attack, the FireNet Server will create new protection rules suitable to defend against the newly identified source or strategy of attack. Periodically, all FireBreaks in the FireNet system will transfer, directly or indirectly, all new rules.

  • Publication number: 20070017025
    Abstract: A folding play yard which includes a generally horizontal upper frame comprised of members including end sections pivotally connected to latches for maintaining the end sections in horizontal alignment when the play yard is deployed. A lower frame is comprised of a vertically moveable central release mechanism and diagonal braces extending from said release mechanism to lower ends of vertical members. Lower side members each having end sections connected to a central hinge may also be provided Vertical members join the upper and lower frames. Latch release means such as cables are connected to the latches and extend to anchors in the vertical members, whereby upward movement of the release mechanism and ends of the diagonal braces tightens the latch release means and releases the latches for folding.

  • Publication number: 20070011620
    Abstract: A system, computer program and method for developing a graphical user interface (GUI) in a computer program. The invention allows developers to control the properties of interface components according to the state of a program during execution. According to the invention, a GUI development environment may be configured to provide a GUI builder for creating the GUI, display an interface component with at least one interface component property to be instantiated in the GUI, display a property interface to input at least one value for the interface component property in response to an event detectable by the computer program during GUI program execution, and automatically generate GUI program code effectuating the value for the interface component property in response to the event detectable by the computer program during GUI program execution.
