  • Patent number: 11935129
    Abstract: A method for automatically determining injury treatment relation to a motor vehicle accident comprises obtaining a plurality of images of a damaged motor vehicle, vehicle data describing the motor vehicle, occupant data describing an occupant who occupied the motor vehicle during the motor vehicle accident, and injury data from an electronic insurance claim associated with the motor vehicle accident, the injury data specifying an injury to the occupant; determining a delta velocity value for the damaged motor vehicle by applying a first machine learning model to the set of images of the damaged motor vehicle and the vehicle data; determining an injury severity score by applying a second machine learning model to the delta velocity value for the damaged motor vehicle, the vehicle data, and the occupant data; and automatically adjudicating the electronic insurance claim.

  • Patent number: 6028757
    Abstract: In a the method for adjusting thermal overload cutouts, after a synchronization of bimetallic strips and optionally a preadjustment of a cutout mechanism, the bimetallic strips are acted upon by current for a specific time, at the end of which the actual adjustment procedure takes place. In this, a residual cutout distance still remaining between the bimetallic strips and a mechanical shutoff point is reduced by zero by an apparatus. This adjustment method eliminates repeat testing with time-consuming cooldowns.

  • Patent number: 5436794
    Abstract: A rack for an industrial controller has a metallic top and bottom plate with grooves to receive circuit cards of functional modules. A heat sink on the functional modules has flanges forming parts of the edge of the circuit cards that engage the grooves of the rack to provide a direct path of conduction from the heat sinks to the rack augmenting the cooling of the heat sink normally provided by heat sink fins. The heat sink stands away from the circuit card and has cantilevered flanges returning to the circuit card surface that provide flexure ensuring good contact between the heat sink and the grooves on the rack.
