Patent number: 7752063Abstract: Methods and apparatus, including computer systems, are provided for securitizing a mortality risk. A premium is received by an issuer from a counterparty, and the issuer provides coverage of a mortality risk to the counterparty. An investment is received by the issuer from an investor, and the issuer provides a risk instrument to the investor. The risk instrument provides a contingent return of the investment to the investor, where if a first condition is satisfied then the entire investment is returned, if a second condition is satisfied then none of the investment is returned, and if neither the first nor the second conditions are satisfied then a portion of the investment is returned. The first and second conditions are related to the mortality risk.Type: GrantFiled: July 29, 2004Date of Patent: July 6, 2010Assignee: Swiss Reinsurance CompanyInventors: Ronald Klein, Brian Lo

Patent number: 7515389Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a device for safely disconnecting electric drives, wherein disturbances of the electric drive which are independent from the driving and lifting speed are recognized in a delay-free manner by retaining the safety function and are used for disconnecting the electric drive. The signals of the sensors (7.1, 7.2, 8.1, 8.2) are detected in a redundant manner and are redundantly compared to preselected threshold values in evaluation devices (2.1, 2.2) such that the electric drive (12) is safely disconnected in a redundant manner without using mechanical position devices if the preselected threshold value of the electric drive (12) is exceeded.Type: GrantFiled: February 26, 2004Date of Patent: April 7, 2009Assignee: Gottwald Port Technology GmbHInventors: Ronald Kleine, Andreas Kruschinski, Frank Demelius

Publication number: 20060081486Abstract: A product dispensing system and a method of queuing usage of products. A plurality of layers of products, each having multiple items in separate packages, each layer having a carrier with the separate packages being secured to and extending from the carrier.
