  • Patent number: 9842370
    Abstract: A system having an insurance database, a products database, and a benefit utilization processing system is implemented by a system server coupled to the insurance and products databases. The benefit utilization processing system may be configured to retrieve and display eyewear product and pricing information, receive and extract benefit details from a benefits table, and provide specification options compatible with a selected product. The system may then apply the extracted benefit details, associated with the user, to the eyewear product price to determine individual benefit amounts for the selected product and for each selected option or accessory to determine a final benefit amount based on the user's benefit amounts.

  • Patent number: 7437660
    Abstract: A method and system for downloading an editable web page having corresponding dynamic content. Dynamically rendered web pages are provided with a special script therein. In response to a client request for a dynamically rendered web page, the server sends the editable page with the script embedded therein. When the script is executed at the client, it creates a frame in the browser, and provides a reference to a DLL that is located on the server and the address for the same requested web page. The DLL is executed at the server and, in response, opens the dynamically rendered web page, retrieves dynamic content for the web page from a database, loads the dynamic content into the document, and returns the web page with the dynamic content to the browser as the content for the newly created frame.

  • Patent number: 6712328
    Abstract: An apparatus for the display and presentation of materials, such as an artist's painting or other presentation material, has a first planar member that is pivotally attached to a second planar member and adapted to rotate at least ninety degrees about an axis passing therethrough from a first, landscape orientation into a second, portrait orientation. A lip is attached to the second planar member for supporting the material. A third planar member is hingedly attached to the second planar member and is adapted to pivot about a hinge in an arc. A cord and retainer limits the maximum amount of pivot of the third planar member away from the second planar member.

The first planar member also includes a lip adapted to hold the painting adjacent to and in parallel planar alignment with respect to the first planar member. A second planar member that preferably includes a smaller length and width than the first planar member is disposed behind the first planar member and is hingedly attached thereto about an axis with a membrane type of an elastomeric hinge that is attached to both the first and second planar members. A first end of a cord passes through a first aperture in the first planar member and the lip where it is secured in position.
