  • Patent number: 7503121
    Abstract: A preferred embodiment of the present invention comprises a foot assembly for a power hand tool such as a jigsaw that has an angularly adjustable support foot with a generally flat bottom, at least two spaced apart supports connected to the support foot, an elongated rod extends through apertures in the supports in a configuration that permits limited sliding movement and the angular adjusting movement of the support foot relative to the hand tool, a retainer member associated with the hand tool that selectively engages one of the supports to lock the support foot at predetermined angular positions, and a spring biases the retainer member toward engagement with the support. A second embodiment includes a removable transparent plate that attaches to the support foot and has a faux laser line for a cutting aid.

  • Publication number: 20090063200
    Abstract: A system and method by which an insurance company can make a loss estimate resulting from a loss event use a networked central repository, such as an electronic collaboration site, for collecting and sharing information to be used in the loss projection process. The common repository can be provided on a computer network that is accessible by a plurality of computers. Upon identifying an incident as likely causing a major loss, information concerning the event can be stored in the repository and reviewed to identify entities involved in, or affected by, the event. A database of in-force insurance policies can be searched for policies held by the identified entities. These identified policies can be reviewed to identify those that should be included in the loss estimate. The loss estimate for the event is generated based on the identified in-force policies.

  • Publication number: 20080235062
    Abstract: A system and method by which an insurance company can project an initial net projected loss arising from a major loss event quickly after the occurrence of the event. The system uses a networked central repository, such as an electronic collaboration site, for collecting and sharing information to be used in the initial net loss projection process. After the occurrence of a major incident, media reports can be reviewed to identify entities involved in, or affected by, the event. In-force insurance policies and applicable reinsurance information of the identified entities are collected and stored in the repository and reviewed to identify those that should be included in the initial net loss projection. Additional information can be entered into a policy database regarding those policies which allows aggregation of net policy limits and an initial projection of the net loss arising from the major loss event.
