  • Patent number: 11978001
    Abstract: A system to provide an automated data driven risk relationship review tool via a back-end application computer server of an enterprise. A resource allocation data store may contain electronic records representing requested resource allocations between the enterprise and a plurality of entities. The server may receive an indication of a selected requested resource allocation and retrieve, from the resource allocation data store, the electronic record associated with the selected requested resource allocation. The server may automatically calculate a first and second review date for the selected requested resource allocation and automatically establish, between at least two parties, a communication link based on the calculation of the first review date for the selected requested resource allocation.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 11, 2023
    Date of Patent: May 7, 2024
    Assignee: HARTFORD FIRE INSURANCE COMPANY

  • Patent number: 6925916
    Abstract: A press for forming a workpiece with a tooling set includes an actuator assembly carrying a movable half or punch of the tooling set and having a two phase operation. In the first phase the actuator provides relatively low force in moving the punch to an intermediate position in close proximity to the workpiece. A sensor detects the position of the punch, and when the punch reaches the intermediate position provides a continue signal. The second phase of actuator operation is conditioned on occurrence of the continue signal, and uses normal high force to press the movable tooling half against the workpiece to complete the operation. The low force first phase allows obstructions of any kind to stop movement of the punch during the first phase before high force applied to the actuator may cause damage or injury to the obstruction. In a preferred embodiment the actuator assembly has hydraulic operation.

  • Patent number: 4014560
    Abstract: A symmetrical dolley structure for the local movement along a common latitudinal alignment of one or more traffic barricades comprising a sturdy structural frame capable of receiving either end of a traffic barricade or two abutting ends of adjacent barricades, such that for every n barricades to be moved, n + 1 dolleys would be used, said dolley structure having two transit seats consisting of displaced complementary paired angle members secured at their ends by transverse plate members and secured mediately to a horizontal latitudinal reinforcement plate by vertical plate members, the horizontal latitudinal plate extending beyond the width of the paired angle members to accommodate casters.
