Abstract: The present disclosure relates to item identification and weighing devices for use with point of sale (POS) systems. In some embodiments, devices disclosed herein are configured to determine a presence or a lack of an off-platter condition during weighing operations and provide the POS system with a total price for the item being weight only in certain conditions. Namely, when an off-platter condition is present, the item identification and weighing device does not transmit the total weight of the item to the POS system, and when an off-platter condition is absent, the item identification and weighing device does transmit the total weight of the item to the POS system.

Abstract: Systems, devices, and methods are provided for generating machine code for a second execution environment based on bytecode generated for a first execution environment. A method may comprise steps to obtain a set of bytecode instructions executable in a first execution environment, parse the set of bytecode instructions to determine at least one stack-based class object, determine an intermediate representation (IR) of the set of bytecode instructions, wherein the intermediate representation comprising at least one single static assignment (SSA)-based representation that corresponds to the at least one stack-based class object, and translate the intermediate representation into machine code that is executable in the second execution environment. For example, Java bytecode generated to run on a Java Virtual Machine (JVM) may be translated to machine code that runs in an execution environment that lacks or otherwise restricts the use of a JVM.

Abstract: An exhaust gas recirculation system including an exhaust gas passageway which routes a flow of exhaust gas from an exhaust gas source to an intake manifold; an exhaust gas passageway valve which controls flow to the intake manifold; a cooling system coupled with the exhaust gas passageway positioned at a location upstream of the exhaust gas source and downstream of the intake manifold and operable to transfer heat from the flow of exhaust gas to a coolant in flow communication with the cooling system; a bypass passageway coupled with the exhaust gas passageway and bypassing the cooling system; a bypass valve operable to control flow through the bypass passageway; at least one valve operation sensor; and a controller operable to control the bypass valve to direct the flow of exhaust gas to the bypass passageway during exhaust gas recirculation based on a signal from the valve operation sensor.

Abstract: Precedent claims that match a pending claim are identified. A general damages amount is determined based on the likelihood value for at least one of the matching precedent claims. A general damages amount is derived from the likelihood value for at least one of the matching precedent claims. Pending claim adjustments are calculated based on amounts associated with the pending claim. Pending claim adjustments are applied to the general damages amount to determine a recommended settlement amount.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for determining and displaying amounts for use in settling insurance claims are disclosed. Closed claims that match an open claim are identified based on one or more characteristics of the open claim. A likelihood value associated with at least one of the matching closed claims is determined. An amount for use by an adjuster in settling the open claim is determined based on the likelihood value for at least one of the matching claims. A most likely amount and most likely range associated with the open claim may be determined based on the likelihood values.

Abstract: Likelihood values are determined for one or more closed claims that match an open claim. The likelihood values are displayed as a function of an amount (e.g., general damages amount). The graph may be an x-y graph in which the x-axis is amount and the y-axis is likelihood value. The graph may include a likelihood curve. A band to corresponding a most likely range of amounts is indicated on the graph.

Abstract: Compounds, compositions and methods are provided for modulating the expression of HIF1-beta. The compositions comprise oligonucleotides, targeted to nucleic acid encoding HIF1-beta. Methods of using these compounds for modulation of HIF1-beta expression and for diagnosis and treatment of diseases and conditions associated with expression of HIF1-beta are provided.

Abstract: A selection is made from a defined list of one or more equalization criteria. Based on the selected equalization criteria, equalization values are derived from a set of closed claim data. During processing of open claims, bodily injury data for the open claims are entered into the system. For one or more of the open claims, precedent claims that match the open claim are identified based on characteristics of the open claim. A value for one or more of the matching precedent claims is adjusted using the previously determined equalization values. An amount for use in settling the open claim is determined based on the adjusted value.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for evaluating processes for insurance claim estimation and settlement. Data may be provided for closed claims that have been previously settled using an estimation and settlement process. Each closed claim in the data is treated as a candidate claim. For each candidate closed claim, a set of closed claims similar to the candidate closed claim is identified based on characteristics of the candidate closed claim. For each set of similar claims so identified, a representative value for the set of similar claims, such as an arithmetic mean, is determined. The settlement values for the candidate closed claims are compared to the representative values for the sets of similar closed claims.

In particular, this invention provides antisense oligonucleotide compounds optimized for targeting nucleic acid molecules expressed in the kidney. Such compounds are shown herein to efficiently modulate the expression of target genes PTEN, SGLT2 and connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) in the kidney.
