Patent number: 7627490Abstract: The present invention involves a ministry and religious institution insurance transaction system and method which allows for quoting, rate determination, policy creation and saving quote and policy application information through a web based interface linking a remote insurance agent or potential customer to an insurance company office. The business method of this invention provides for the sign on and authentication of a remote agent or potential customer who is then allowed to request, gather and submit information for quoting an insurance policy. A copy of the quote information is transferred to the insurance company office system where the quote information is supplemented with rate data. The completed quote is then available for display and editing. The rated quote can be used as a basis for generating a proposal referencing coverage descriptions for the client and as the basis for preparation of a policy application.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 2000Date of Patent: December 1, 2009Assignee: Brotherhood Mutual Insurance CompanyInventors: Donald L.

Patent number: 6769764Abstract: A rejuvenation station has a housing with a first area adapted to hold a fluid supply, and a second area adapted to hold a printer cartridge. In the first area is a first fluidic interconnect that is adapted to couple with the fluid supply. In the second area is a second fluidic interconnect that is adapted to couple with the printer cartridge. A fluid path in the housing couples the fluidic interconnects. An actuator extracts fluid from at least one of the fluid supply and the printer cartridge, and inserts fluid into the printer cartridge through the fluid path.Type: GrantFiled: September 9, 2002Date of Patent: August 3, 2004Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: Louis C Barinaga, Gregory W Blythe, Ashley E Childs, Michael J Allison

Patent number: 6598625Abstract: An implementation of a printer ink delivery system and method for increasing the efficiency of space utilization within a printer includes at least one available-space-conforming internal ink tank adapted to fit within difficult to access areas within a printer's enclosure. A fill port allows the temporary attachment of an externally located, ergonomically shaped ink refill canister. By utilizing space which otherwise might go unused for placement of the internal ink tank, a smaller printer enclosure may be designed. By providing a fill port adapted for attachment of ergonomic ink refill canister, the user is easily able to refill the internal ink tank.Type: GrantFiled: October 29, 2001Date of Patent: July 29, 2003Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventor: Michael J. Allison
