  • Patent number: 8583408
    Abstract: An enhanced modeling tool associated with an entity may facilitate end-to-end modeling of problems in any application space. The enhanced modeling tool may collect modeling data from a variety of sources, check the collected data, find the best predictor variables for a given target variable, estimate the model, implement the model, and validate the model. The output of each of these steps may be in a standardized format to allow other steps to directly incorporate the output. An additional feature of the system may include a reporting capability that generates supporting documents related to model governance and risk compliance.

  • Patent number: 8573903
    Abstract: A round cutting insert with an anti-rotation feature. The round cutting insert includes a plurality of projections formed on a first surface and another plurality of projections formed on an opposing surface. The round cutting insert is reversible and indexable. The round cutting insert is removably received in an insert receiving pocket in a tool body wherein the insert receiving pocket includes a plurality of dimples for receiving one of the plurality of first projections or the plurality of second projections. This arrangement prevents rotation of the round cutting insert while mounted in the insert receiving pocket.

  • Publication number: 20130279994
    Abstract: An indexable, invertable cutting insert has radially-oriented positioning segments on a front face of the insert and radially-oriented positioning segments on the back face of the insert. The radially-oriented positioning segments are shifted on the front face relative to those on the back face such that, when the cutting insert is engaged within the toolholder, the cutting segment utilized on the front face will never be directly opposite the cutting segment utilized on the back face. A toolholder system is made up of the cutting insert and a toolholder capable of securing and indexing the cutting insert.

  • Publication number: 20130046678
    Abstract: The minimum payment requirement for a customer may be a higher amount than conventional or industry-standard credit cards. In one exemplary embodiment, at least one memory storing computer executable instructions that, when executed, cause the apparatus at least to: provide a minimum payment requirement towards a balance associated with a revolving account, wherein the minimum payment requirement is approximately 15-25% of the balance, provide an interest rate for the revolving account that is a function of the minimum payment requirement, and initiate the execution of an assessment if the minimum payment requirement is not met.

  • Publication number: 20120251250
    Abstract: A round cutting insert with a reverse anti-rotation feature that can be manufactured easily and inexpensively is disclosed. The round cutting insert includes a plurality of dimples formed on a first surface and another plurality of dimples formed on a second, opposing surface. The round insert is reversible and indexable. The round cutting insert is removable received in an insert receiving pocket in a tool body. The insert receiving pocket includes a single projection that is capable of being received in one of the plurality of dimples. The cooperation between the projection and one of the plurality of dimples prevents rotation of the round cutting insert when mounted in the insert receiving pocket. The plurality of dimples and the projection can be any desirable complimentary shape, such as a slot, a V-shape, a wagon wheel, a sports wheel, a pyramid, and the like.

  • Publication number: 20100129167
    Abstract: An indexable cutting insert having a body with a central axis extending therethrough and including two opposing surfaces interconnected by at least three sides. First and second sides intersect with one of the opposing surfaces at a primary corner to form a primary cutting edge having a corner radius. First and third sides intersect at a secondary corner. An intersection between an intermediate portion of the first side and the opposing surface forms a secondary cutting edge having an arcuate shape with a radius extending away from the central axis beyond a line between the primary corner and the secondary corner. An end of the secondary cutting edge is spaced from the end of the corner radius on the first side at a distance at least approximately one-eighth of a length of the line between the end of the corner radius on the first side and the secondary corner.

  • Patent number: 7607853
    Abstract: A binding mechanism system including a first support portion including a first ring portion located thereon and a second support portion including a second ring portion located thereon. At least one of the first and second support portions is movable relative to the other between a closed position wherein the first and second ring portions contact to form a generally closed ring, and an open position wherein the first and second ring portions are spaced apart from each other. The binding mechanism further includes an indicator that is generally visible when the ring portions are in one of the open or closed position and that is generally not visible when the ring portions are in the other one of the open or closed positions.

  • Patent number: 7311108
    Abstract: A motorized flosser comprising an elongated body and a flossing head secured to an end portion of the elongated body. The flossing head oscillates in an arcuate manner. A battery powered motor drives a drive mechanism which reciprocates an output drive shaft, which drive shaft is in turn connected through a flexible drive rod to a drive disc. The drive disc oscillates in a rotary arcuate motion to impart either pure rotary arcuate oscillatory motion or a combined rotary arcuate motion and translatory motion to flossing material carried by a yoke of the flossing head. The flossing head may incorporate a toothpaste holder mounted upon the flossing head or toothbrush bristles mounted upon tines of the yoke of the flossing head.
