Patent number: 11798091Abstract: A computer system for processing data for verification of vehicle repair estimates in connection with insurance claims includes an insurance claims database having data relating to insurance claims. One or more computer processors are configured to receive claim identifying data from a repair facility computer system; determine, based on the claim identifying data, an insurance claim associated with the claim identifying data; establish secure communication with the repair facility computer system; receive data indicative of a repair estimate associated with the insurance claim from the repair facility computer system; access an evaluation of the estimate based on a plurality of rules, compare the estimate to one or more thresholds, and forward the estimate to a claim handler system.Type: GrantFiled: September 20, 2019Date of Patent: October 24, 2023Assignee: Hartford Fire Insurance CompanyInventors: Michael John Lawlor, Bethany Siddall

Patent number: 11648373Abstract: A processing system includes methods to promote sleep. The system may include a monitor such as a non-contact motion sensor from which sleep information may be determined. User sleep information, such as sleep stages, hypnograms, sleep scores, mind recharge scores and body scores, may be recorded, evaluated and/or displayed for a user. The system may further monitor ambient and/or environmental conditions corresponding to sleep sessions. Sleep advice may be generated based on the sleep information, user queries and/or environmental conditions from one or more sleep sessions. Communicated sleep advice may include content to promote good sleep habits and/or detect risky sleep conditions. In some versions of the system, any one or more of a bedside unit 3000 sensor module, a smart processing device, such as a smart phone or smart device 3002, and network servers may be implemented to perform the methodologies of the system.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2022Date of Patent: May 16, 2023Inventors: Redmond Shouldice, Colin John Lawlor, Matthew Norton, David Mulligan, Stephen McMahon, Paul Phillips, Damien O'Rourke, Luke Gahan, Marc Lavelle, Conor Heneghan, Alberto Zaffaroni, Gareth McDarby

Patent number: 7851025Abstract: The present invention describes a method for the post-treatment of fully sealed anodized aluminum parts, especially for the automotive industry, characterized in that an aqueous silicate solution is applied to fully sealed anodized aluminum layers, where said fully sealed anodized aluminum layer has a film thickness of at least 5 ?m and a film weight of at least 13 g/m2, respectively. Said solution preferably contains an alkali metal (M) silicate with not more than 2.0 wt.-% of SiO2, in which the ratio of SiO2:M2O is preferably not more than 2. This treatment increases the alkaline stability according to the standardized corrosion tests in the automotive industry without any further treatment or organic coating applied to said treated aluminum surface.Type: GrantFiled: June 27, 2007Date of Patent: December 14, 2010Assignee: Henkel AG & Co.

Publication number: 20050072693Abstract: A storage case (1) for a compact disc (2) comprises an outer shell (4) within which an inner carrier (5) for storing the compact disc (2) is slideable between an open and a closed position. The compact disc (2) is stored in a disc storing area (20) between a lower support plate (15) and an upper retaining member (19) of the inner carrier (5). Guide plates (25, 26) slideably guide the compact disc (2) into and out of the disc storing area (20). Resilient disc engaging clips (30) on a rear end wall (17) of the inner carrier (5) resiliently urges the compact disc (2) against corresponding abutment members (33) on the front end wall (16) for securing the compact disc (2) against sideward sliding from the disc storing area (20). The combination of the disc engaging clips (30) and the guide plates (25, 26) avoid the need for a central locating spigot for engaging a central opening of the compact disc (2).Type: ApplicationFiled: August 21, 2003Publication date: April 7, 2005Inventors: John Lawlor, William Lawlor, Patrick Wright, John McCormack, Owen Laverty

Patent number: 4008678Abstract: A mooring system is proposed for use at docks where tide changes are large. The system requires two vertical mooring posts positioned on the dock at a distance apart so that when the ship is docked one will be at a bow section of the ship and the other at a stern section. The ship is fitted with two post-engaging devices, one in the bow area and one in the stern area, each of which will be in alignment with the appropriate mooring post. The post-engaging devices are mechanically movable so as to engage the adjacent post and the engagement will prevent horizontal movement of the ship, but will permit vertical movement in accord with the tides.Type: GrantFiled: October 20, 1975Date of Patent: February 22, 1977Assignee: Sun Shipbuilding and Dry Dock Co.Inventor: John Lawlor
