  • Publication number: 20130132123
    Abstract: Flexible, varying long term care insurance programs are determined. Input variables such as issue age, targeted present value and year-to-year premium relationship are supplied, as are some members of a set of process variables. A non-supplied process variable is calculated based on the input variables and the supplied process variables. An insurance program based on the supplied variables and the calculated process variable is then determined, such that the premium schedule increases (or alternatively, decreases) over time to at least one leveling point, at which premiums become level.

  • Publication number: 20130132121
    Abstract: Flexible, varying critical illness insurance premium schedules are determined. Input variables such as issue age, targeted present value and year-to-year premium relationship are supplied, as are some members of a set of process variables. A non-supplied process variable is calculated based on the input variables and the supplied process variables. A premium schedule based on the supplied variables and the calculated process variable is then determined, such that the premium schedule increases (or alternatively decreases) over time to at least one leveling point, at which premiums become level.

  • Patent number: 8150715
    Abstract: Flexible, varying long term care insurance programs for use as parts of combination long term care products are generated. Input variables such as issue age, targeted present value and year-to-year premium relationship are supplied, as are some members of a set of process variables. A non-supplied process variable is calculated based on the input variables and the supplied process variables. An insurance program based on the supplied variables and the calculated process variable is then generated, such that the premium schedule increases (or alternatively, increases and decreases) over time to at least one leveling point, at which premiums become level. A combination long term care product is produced by coupling the generated insurance program with a life insurance program or annuity.

  • Patent number: 5809457
    Abstract: An inertial pointing and control system and method for pointing to a designated target with known coordinates from a platform, to provide accurate position, steering, and command information. The system continuously receives GPS signals and corrects Inertial Navigation System (INS) dead reckoning or drift errors. An INS is mounted directly on a pointing instrument rather than in a remote location on the platform for monitoring the terrestrial position and instrument attitude, and for pointing the instrument at designated celestial targets or ground based landmarks. As a result, the pointing instrument and the INS move independently in inertial space from the platform since the INS is decoupled from the platform. Another important characteristic of the present system is that selected INS measurements are combined with predefined coordinate transformation equations and control logic algorithms under computer control in order to generate inertial pointing commands to the pointing instrument.

  • Patent number: 4739600
    Abstract: In a window frame assembly having hollow frame members, a joint interconnecting the ends of two adjacent frame members is described. The joint includes a rabbeted miter cut and an anti rack and twist component. These features act synergistically to align and firmly joint adjacent frame members.
