Abstract: A facility for assessing items in a category is described. The facility applies a large language model to textual reviews of items in the category to select portions that each mention a particular one of a list of subjective considerations relevant to the category, and performs automatic sentiment analysis on each selected portion. For each combination of an item with a subjective consideration, the facility generates a value for the subjective consideration for the item based on the sentiment analysis result for portions mentioning the subjective consideration in reviews of the item. The facility then determines for a particular user a suitability score for each item by combining the subjective consideration values for the item in a way that is based on subjective consideration importance weights specific to the user.

Abstract: A system and method include a monitoring control unit configured to compare an initial flight plan, as generated by a flight planner for an aircraft, and an assessed flight plan, as determined by air traffic control. The monitoring control unit is configured to determine one or more differences between the initial flight plan and the assessed flight plan. The monitoring control unit is configured to output a notification signal to the flight planner regarding the one or more differences between the initial flight plan and the assessed flight plan.

Abstract: A lighting system having a tubular, translucent housing including a light source disposed within the a recess of the housing. The light source includes one or more light-emitting elements on one or both sides. The lighting system is sized to fit within a receiving member, which may be a portion of a landscape structure or may be a stand-alone unit. Adjustment of the orientation of the housing relative to the receiving member changes the direction of light emitted by the light-emitting elements.

Abstract: A system and methods to enable a consumer or agent to purchase intangible products, such as life insurance, are disclosed. The system is a workflow implementation system that processes a consumer through the purchase process, updating the consumer at various points with options of intangible products available for purchase. In various embodiments, the system presents cross-sell opportunities in the form of other intangible products that the customer has not specifically indicated an interested in purchasing, but that the consumer qualifies or potentially qualifies for that the system has determined may be of interest.

Abstract: A method comprises analyzing the psychology of a typical consumer and defining first key stages wherein customers drop out and second key stages wherein sales could be maximized.

Abstract: The computerized system disclosed herein implements an improved online marketplace for facilitating sales of insurance products from a plurality of insurance providers to customers of insurance. The system enables the customers to apply for insurance products from each of the carriers in a single step using a single, common application. Thereafter, the system performs an immediate, preliminary underwriting, and if appropriate offers the individual the option for immediate short-term coverage. The system then performs more comprehensive underwriting on behalf of a plurality of carriers, and if the underwriting is successful, provides the customer with an offer for long-term coverage to replace the short-term coverage. The customer can accept any provided offer to receive coverage. The system also enables carriers to define filters so that if customers enter the system with an affiliation with a particular character, they remain affiliated with the carrier until the filter is no longer satisfied.

Abstract: A universal light ball system has a light source with a substantially round housing disposed within a substantially elongated housing so that the light source may be directed by changing the orientation of the substantially round housing relative to the substantially elongated housing. The substantially elongated housing may be inserted into another member such as a the hollow top of landscape edging in order to provide unobtrusive and aesthetically pleasing landscape lighting.

Abstract: A system and methods to enable a plurality of vendors of information to sell that information to a plurality of consumers of information are disclosed. The information may include sales leads, such as sales leads for potential sales of insurance products. The disclosed system may enable a plurality of users to provide standing orders for information, including defining a plurality of parameters or filters. The system applies these parameters to information offered for sale by the vendors, and automatically delivers information that satisfies the parameters. The system may enable the user to define when to purchase information, such that information offered for sale during a time the user cannot use it is not purchased. The disclosed system may therefore provide an online marketplace that enables a plurality of different users to purchase information sold by a plurality of different vendors in an easy and consistent way.
