Abstract: In system and methods for loss mitigation, accident data associated with a vehicle accident involving a driver may be collected. The accident data may be analyzed, and a likely severity of the vehicle accident may be determined based upon the analysis of the accident data. A communication related to emergency assistance or an emergency assistance recommendation may be generated based upon the determined likely severity of the vehicle accident, and transmitted, via wireless communication, from one or more remote servers to a mobile device associated with the driver A wireless communication from the driver indicating approval or modification of the emergency assistance or emergency assistance recommendation may be received. A third party may be notified, via a communication sent from the remote server(s), of requested emergency assistance as approved or modified by the driver. An estimated insurance claim may also be generated based upon vehicle accident likely severity.

Abstract: A system is provided for capturing and processing information from a collection item. The system includes: one or more scanners structured to scan and extract information, including image information, from a collection item and/or one or more documents associated with the collection item; a client operable to receive the information from the one or more scanners, associate the collection item and any associated documents together as an image-based unit of work, provide a display interface for a user of the client, accept input from the user, and perform processing of the collection item in accordance with the user's input; a database operable to store the extracted information so as to be retrievable on a unit of work basis; and an application server coupled to the client and the database, the application server being operable to access information stored in the database, make information from the database available to the client, and interface with external systems.

Abstract: In a reciprocating compressor, the separator plate separating the suction and discharge plenums acts as a spring relative to the valve plate assembly. Under liquid slugging conditions the valve plate moves against the biasing force of the separator plate to establish a relief passage between the piston cylinder and the suction plenum.

Abstract: A reciprocating compressor includes a conduit to communicate a first portion operating at compressor suction pressure with a second portion of the compressor operating at compressor discharge pressure. A valve responsive to the temperature of the fluid compressed by the operation of the compressor is provided to control the flow of the fluid through the conduit. The valve is in a normally open position to permit flow of fluid through the conduit when the temperature of the fluid is at a relatively low level. As the compressor continues to operate, the temperature level of the fluid increases whereby the valve is placed in a closed position to terminate the flow of fluid through the conduit.
