  • Patent number: 7896346
    Abstract: A combination euchre score and trump indicating device. The system includes a pair of scoring dials that are mounted to the interior face of a pair of end caps. The end caps removably mate with a body. The body is generally cube-shaped having four flat outer surfaces. Each outer surface prominently bears one of the four trump suits. When the end caps are coupled to the body, the interior faces and scoring dials are hidden by the body, protecting the scoring dials from damage and fully enclosing an internal storage compartment.

  • Patent number: 7403923
    Abstract: A method of optimizing debt collection attitudinally classifies debtors into one of several attitudinal segments. The approach uses an assessment of current attitudes rather than past behaviors as to predict future behavior. Each segment can be addressed with an offer, which is a combination of attributes which together, have an expected, measurable, and predictable response from the debtor. Debt collection requires the expenditure of resources, at least one of which the availability of a relatively small number of debt collectors. The offers that can be extended to debtors are identified on a debtor-by-debtor, offer-by-offer basis to identify the best offer to propose to each debtor by the limited number of debt collectors in order to maximize the economic return from all debtors.

  • Patent number: 7401050
    Abstract: A method of improving debt collection from a debtor acquires pertinent debtor information in real time or near-real-time. Newly acquired debtor information is used in a debt collection decision procedure which determines the appropriate debt collection strategy to use with a debtor based upon the most recently acquired information. A preliminarily used debt collection procedure can be adapted or modified in real time, or on-the-fly, using the most up-to-date information, which is typically best acquired during a debt collection process.

  • Publication number: 20040044604
    Abstract: Debt collection strategies that have been used successfully on certain types of debtors are more likely to yield results than unproven strategies. Non-financial, non-historical behavioral Characteristics of debtors who responded to collection strategies are used to identify future debtors against whom previously-successful strategies should be repeated to provide a rate of payment higher based on historical behavioral/financial attributes.

  • Patent number: 6151186
    Abstract: A circuit (10) and method for providing a drive current to a voice coil (20) to position a head (13) of a disk drive (14) includes driver circuitry (68, 70) for controlling currents flowing in the voice coil (20) and at least one sense current circuit (92), which may include FET devices (112, 114, 116, 118), for sensing and controlling the currents in a current path (26) of the driver circuit (10). Programmable circuitry (170) is connected to adjust at least one of the sense current circuits (112, 114 or 116, 118) to control a current flowing through the voice coil (20) to position the head (13) to a desired location. A trim capability is implemented by providing one or more trim FETs (145-148, 155-158) that are selectively connectable in parallel with current mirroring FETs (120, 126), which may be, for example, FETs connected to mirror a current in one of the current flow paths (26) of the drive circuit (10).

  • Patent number: 6004970
    Abstract: Nicotine dependency is treated by administration of an opioid antagonist. In some embodiments, rapid or ultra rapid detoxification techniques include using a combination of an effective amount of an opioid antagonist such as nalmefene, naloxone or naltrexone or a mixture of any one of these, and either clonidine or related compounds either while awake, or while under sedation or anesthesia, followed by continued administration of an effective amount of an opioid antagonist with or without agents that enhance nicotine dependency treatment.
