  • Patent number: 10217169
    Abstract: Pursuant to some embodiments, computer systems for generating safety scores relating to vehicle travel routes are provided which include a data storage device for storing, updating and providing access to loss risk score data. In some embodiments, a request for information associated with a user's location identified by user location data may be received over a communications network. A computer processing system may then be operated to generate a safety score associated with said use location data, the safety score being based on a plurality of loss risk factors associated with the user location data. A response, including the safety score, may then be transmitted to the user over the communications network.

  • Patent number: 9418382
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed herein for pricing an insurance premium based on a vehicle trip similarity score. The system includes a computer memory and a processor in communication with the computer memory. The computer memory stores telematics data received from a sensor within a vehicle. The telematics data includes at least one of geo-position information of the vehicle and vehicle kinematics data. The processor is configured to compute a similarities score based on the telematics data. The processor is also configured to determine a price, price adjustment, or any other benefit for automobile insurance based on the similarities score.

  • Publication number: 20120290330
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed herein for determining an insurance evaluation based on an industrial classification. The system includes a content processor, a computerized predictive model, and a business logic processor. The content processor retrieves content from a website related to an entity seeking an insurance policy and extracts data from the website content. The computerized predictive model accepts the data extracted from the website content from the content processor, processes the extracted data, and outputs data indicative of at least one industrial classification associated with the entity. The business logic processor determines an insurance evaluation of the entity based on its industrial classification(s).

  • Patent number: 4282936
    Abstract: A quick acting coupler for a cultivator attachment, such as a cultivator fender, shield, or the like, in which the attachment is carried by a mounting frame with the latter being securable to the tool or cultivator bar of a cultivator implement for coupling of the attachment to the cultivator at a desired location on the cultivator. The coupler includes a hitch member for each attachment, each hitch member being securable to the tool bar of the cultivator at a desired position therealong. The mounting frame is connected to the hitch member by inserting one or more headed pins carried by the mounting frame into corresponding elongate vertical slots in the hitch member. The vertical slots each have an enlarged portion at their upper ends so as to receive the head of a respective headed pin and a narrower lower portion so as to receive the shank of the headed pin.
