Abstract: An approach is provided for improving a workflow by using cognitive computing. Inputs about a claim of a claimant are received. The inputs include a history of claims by the claimant, an expected cost of processing the claim, a length of time the claimant has had insurance coverage, governmental requirements associated with the claim, a fraud score associated with the claim, and a ranking and a clustering of previously processed claims. Based on the inputs and using a cognitive computing system, a set of digital workers is selected. The set of digital workers complete step(s) in a current context of a processing of the claim in a workflow. Responsive to completing the step(s), a total number of steps required in the workflow is reduced.

Abstract: A reciprocating engine has at least one cylinder forming an inner chamber, at least one piston reciprocatingly movable in the inner chamber of the at least one cylinder, a unit for converting a reciprocating movement of the piston to move an outside object, a unit for reciprocatingly moving the at least one piston in the at least one cylinder the reciprocatingly moving unit including magnet elements with at least one electromagnet connected with the cylinder and at least another electromagnet connected with the piston, so that when a polarity of the magnet elements is changed, a magnetic interaction of the electromagnets with one another causes the reciprocating movement of the piston.

Abstract: A high-capacity low-blocking time-division switching system including a space-division switching network is disclosed for switching serial digital data words synchronously received on time multiplexed lines in a first code format wherein each data word occupies substantially an entire time multiplexed channel time period. In order to achieve high capacity and low blocking, the space-division switching network is physically large resulting in delays of the digital data words transmitted therethrough, which delays are significant when compared with the time duration of a time-division multiplex channel and which vary in accordance with the path selected. The communication paths through the stages of the space-division network are reconfigured each time-division multiplex channel time duration, but due to the transmission delays, the effective transmission period is less than the time duration of a channel.
