Publication number: 20240095840Abstract: A computer-assisted method for providing re-quotations for insurance coverage may include receiving a list of insurance leads corresponding to individuals who received a previous quotation for insurance coverage but did not purchase the insurance coverage and identifying a difference between the previous quotation and a new quotation. This difference may include an increase in offered insurance coverage and/or a reduction in cost. A computing device may calculate a probability for each of the individuals on the list using a regression model based, at least in part, on the identified difference. In some cases, the regression model may be associated with individual states. In other cases, the regression model may correspond to a plurality of states. The regression model may output a probability that a resident of a particular state will purchase insurance in response to a re-quotation for insurance coverage, where individuals may then be ranked based on the probability.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 22, 2023Publication date: March 21, 2024Inventors: Alexander Doyle, Ryan Dunn, Cristina I.

Patent number: 11847237Abstract: A system for secure data protection and encryption for computing devices. The present invention includes a fast encryption technique for quickly ensuring that the correct binding parameters are used for an encrypted data file. The encrypted file is used in two ways. Because unsecure data could pass through a peripheral device to gain access to a secure computing environment, a dongle housing encryption and decryption subsystems is placed in between the unsecure sources and the peripheral that can encrypt and decrypt data intended for the secure computing environment. The firmware of the computing device can be updated by dividing the update file into encrypted segments that are verified on the device and placed into non-volatile memory. When all parts have been received, decrypted, and written into memory, the device reboots using the updated firmware.Type: GrantFiled: July 27, 2021Date of Patent: December 19, 2023Assignee: Sequitur Labs, Inc.Inventors: Philip Attfield, Michael Doyle, Vincent Ting
