  • Patent number: 10706475
    Abstract: According to some embodiments, data is received indicative of a plurality of insurance claims submitted in connection with insurance policies. A rules driven claim processing engine may then apply a first exclusion filter to the received plurality of claims, wherein the first exclusion filter operates to remove claims from the received plurality of claims to create a first subset of claims. A second exclusion filter may then be applied to the first subset of claims, wherein the second exclusion filter operates to remove claims from the first subset of claims to create a second subset of claims. It may then be automatically arranged for the second subset of claims to be processed via an expedited claim processing workflow.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20110127778
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for extracting useful energy from biomass fuels as part of a hybrid electricity generating thermal power plant, utilising both a primary heat source, such as coal, gas, oil or nuclear power, and a secondary heat source in the form of biomass, whereby the biomass is oxidised in aqueous solution in a supercritical water oxidation (SCWO) process utilising energy from the primary heat source to heat and compress a feed stream of water to a temperature and pressure at or beyond its critical point.

  • Publication number: 20060076118
    Abstract: The invention relates to a starch and fiber mixture, and the application of a starch and fiber mixture in paper manufacturing. The starch and fiber mixture is applied to a paper mat, after the paper mat is formed. The starch and fiber mixture may be obtained by the selective filtering of white water from the papermaking process, particularly by use of a pressure screen.

  • Patent number: 7022895
    Abstract: This invention relates to an isolated nucleic acid fragment encoding a plant enzyme that catalyze steps in the biosynthesis of lysine, threonine, methionine, cysteine and isoleucine from aspartate, the enzyme a member selected from the group consisting of: dihydrodipicolinate reductase, diaminopimelate epimerase, threonine synthase, threonine deaminase and S-adenosylmethionine synthetase. The invention also relates to the construction of a chimeric gene encoding all or a portion of the enzyme, in sense or antisense orientation, wherein expression of the chimeric gene results in production of altered levels of the enzyme in a transformed host cell.
