  • Patent number: 11038302
    Abstract: Disclosed are pluggable cable channels having internal cavities and passageway conduits to provide removable holding devices for data and or power cables in electrical and electronic encasements. Holding a data and or power cable in the pluggable cable channel allows different cables to be used in the same channel-way by changing the plug, thus assisting in the preservation of the enclosure investment and use for different applications. Some embodiments include a cavity to hold the end of the cable, a keyway to pass a length of the cable into the body conduit, and a routing channel in the body to exit the cable to a specific location in relationship to the plug, a set screw or clamp to secure the cable to a location in the plug body, and a body flange to attach the plug to the encasement. The flange may be angled to mate flush with perpendicular and non-perpendicular to the channel-way.

  • Patent number: 8639536
    Abstract: A computer system for administering applications for life insurance has a processor and a memory storage device in communication with the processor. The processor is configured to receive data indicative of application data and data indicative of a health of a proposed insured; based on the received data, determine whether the proposed insured is eligible, and generate an output signal to cause a policy to be generated and comprehensive underwriting to commence. Upon completion of comprehensive underwriting, additional policy documents may be determined. Calculations of commissions and reinsurance premiums may be made upon issue of a policy and recalculated upon completion of comprehensive underwriting.
