Patent number: 10181159Abstract: A computer device and method for processing loss related data to detect and initiate insurance claim events. Data is received from one or more sensor devices relating to insured property. Analysis is performed on the received data to determine one or more claim events regarding the insured property. An insurance policy, other product, or service contract associated with the insured property is received and analyzed to determine coverage for the insured property as prescribed by the insurance policy, other product, or service contract. Predefined business rules are applied using the determined one or more claim events and the determined coverage to determine if the insurance policy, other product, or service contract supports a claim regarding the one or more claim events. Notification of the claim is provided if it is determined supported by the insurance policy, other product, or service contract.Type: GrantFiled: May 15, 2014Date of Patent: January 15, 2019Assignee: United Services Automobile Association (USAA)Inventors: Michael J.

Patent number: 9062629Abstract: A purge and prime assembly for a carburetor includes a purge and prime pump that alternately takes in and discharges fluid, and a plurality of passages through which fluid is routed. The passages may include a purge passage through which fluid is drawn by the purge and prime pump, a return passage through which fluid is discharged from the purge and prime pump and discharged from the carburetor, and a priming passage through which a portion of the fluid discharged from the purge and prime pump is routed to a main bore of the carburetor. The assembly may also include a purge valve that prevents fluid from being discharged from the purge prime pump through the purge passage, and a return valve that prevents fluid in the return passage from being drawn into the purge and prime pump.Type: GrantFiled: November 15, 2012Date of Patent: June 23, 2015Assignee: Walbro Engine Management, L.

Patent number: 8799336Abstract: Based on received data descriptive of an event, a hierarchical data structure is constructed comprising structural elements associated with components of an event. A file folder hierarchy corresponding to the hierarchical data structure is created. User interfaces facilitate user access to files and folders in the hierarchies. Certain documents may be designated as documents of record and access to those documents is limited to processes that will not modify the original electronic document, thereby preserving it. Facilities for creating working copies of documents of records and associating them within the hierarchies are provided. A scanning information sheet that may have an electronically readable data imprint containing information about a document to be scanned is described for facilitating the migration of paper documents into an electronic file management system.Type: GrantFiled: February 11, 2013Date of Patent: August 5, 2014Assignee: United Services Automobile AssociationInventors: Cleburne R.

Publication number: 20130249120Abstract: An on-board fuel filter for a carburetor includes a filter element made from a non-metallic material. The material can be a polymeric material and may be a woven or a non-woven material. The fuel filter may be adapted to have an interference fit with a fuel passage of the carburetor and constructed so that the fuel filter is substantially not plastically deformed by the interference fit. Filter elements may be cut from a sheet of polymeric material and aligned with a fuel passage opening in a body of the carburetor while being cut.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 23, 2012Publication date: September 26, 2013Applicant: WALBRO ENGINE MANAGEMENT, L.L.C.Inventor: Michael P.
