Abstract: Embodiments of various systems, methods, and devices are disclosed for generating artificial intelligence or machine learning models for predicting denials of medical claims, predicting approvals of resubmitted medical claims, as well as automatic workflow clustering processes for automatically assigning medical claims to workflow queues using predictive segmentation and smart resource allocation.

Abstract: Lightweight blast mitigating composite panels (10) include a first glass composite shell (14; 152), an intermediate, preferably honeycomb layer (56; 156), a reinforcing layer (60; 160), an ultra high molecular weight polyethylene fiber (UHMWPE) layer (64; 164) and a second glass composite shell (15; 168) adhered together with fire resistant adhesive layers (54; 58, 63, 66; 154, 158, 163, 166). The UHMWPE layer (64; 164) includes top and bottom coatings (70, 71) of fire resistant thermoset plastic preferably in the form of a paste. The panels (10) have use in a wide range of applications including in a blast mitigating overhead storage bin (100). The storage bin (100) includes a main body portion (133) defining a storage area formed from composite unarmored and armored panel segments (137, 138; 128-132).

Abstract: An apparatus for thermally and pneumatically treating granular solids to remove organic and inorganic chemical additives which are bonded to the granular solids or in admixture with them, to provide a purified granular solid product which is suitable for reuse, for example foundry sand for use in high strength molded cores, or for other productive uses, such as landfill. Granular solid feed material is preheated in a dilute phase zone of a fluidized bed, organic chemical additives are thermally oxidized in a dense phase zone of the fluidized bed, and remaining inorganic chemical additives are separated and removed from the granular solids in a contiguous pneumatic impaction zone. The purified granular solids are removed from the pneumatic impaction zone and organic and inorganic materials are elutriated from the fluidized bed and removed from the head space.

Abstract: A combination spray drying and electron beam treatment for effluent gases provides air pollution control for even high sulfur coals.Liquid and a reagent are injected into the effluent gas in the spray dryer, thereby cleansing the effluent gas, decreasing its temperature, and increasing its moisture content. The spray drying decreases the temperature at least to below 100.degree. C. and, most preferably, to between 60.degree. C. and 70.degree. C. The decreased temperature, increased moisture content effluent gas including both reacted compounds and unreacted reagent is conveyed into an irradiation chamber, whereat radiation causes the gaseous sulfur oxides and/or nitrogen oxides to convert into mist and/or solid particles. The unreacted reagent may then react with the acid mist. The effluent gases are then subjected to dry particular collection.

Abstract: An improved tire building method is provided whereby the nonwicking finishing strip is placed on the building drum first before the remaining components are applied to the drum. Once the carcass plies and the bead core are positioned on the drum, the finishing strip is turned up around the bead core to effectively seal off the inflation chamber of the tire. The method of this invention is especially useful for tires built on flat cylindrical drums.
