Abstract: A system according to certain aspects of the disclosure provides drug pricing information from multiple PBMs to users. For example, the system may obtain, calculate, and/or estimate drug prices that are available under contracts or agreements between PBMs and various pharmacies. These prices may be prices of drugs for purchase at the various pharmacies. In response to requests for prices of particular drugs, the system can display relevant prices. For example, the system displays a price for each pharmacy chain and/or displays prices for a particular geographical area. The users can compare the prices for a particular drug and determine which pharmacy they would like to purchase the drug from. The system can provide a discount coupon that allows the users to purchase the drug at the price listed by the system at the selected pharmacy.

Abstract: A drug pricing system receives a request for drug pricing from a pharmacy comprised in part of a unique set of identifiers that routes the drug pricing request to the drug pricing system, obtains drug prices from a user's insurance company based on the user's insurance information, obtains drug prices from multiple pharmacy benefit managers, and determines a lowest drug price. The drug pricing system sends a digital alert to a user interface when the user prefers to use the insurance price and the insurance price is more than the lower PBM price. In response to the digital alert, the drug pricing system receives a response from the user interface that includes an updated user preference, which the drug pricing system stores in a user profile. The drug pricing system returns to the pharmacy the drug price according to the updated user preference.

Abstract: For a body rotating on an axis and having a moment of inertia relative to the axis, an apparatus for dynamically suppressing unwanted rotational phenomena occurring relative to the axis of rotation, i.e., phenomena which exhibit themselves in a body only when the body is rotating about the axis, such as, dynamic imbalance and resonance at critical rotational speeds. One or more inertial masses are movably affixed to the body such that they can be selectively moved radially and circumferentially with respect to the axis. Appropriately placed sensors, such as strain gauges, accelerometers, vibration transducers, and the like detect the phenomena and pass pertinent parameters of the phenomena to a controller, preferably a computer, which analyzes the parameters to determine, among other things, the magnitudes of the phenomena.

Abstract: A torque control system designed to economize on consumed fuel includes a source of motive power, a load and a transmission coupling the motive power to the load. A torque measuring device is attached to the output of the transmission and senses a torque applied to the load. The output of the torque sensor is compared with electrical analogs of optimized torque situations. The comparison results in the development of a control voltage which is applied to the source of motive power and the transmission to effect optimization of torque control.
