Abstract: A method and system addresses the circumstance where a lack of confidence in the impairment rating has arrested the impairment rating process and additional data collection is no longer possible. One or more incomplete data sets are compared to and corrected with a high accuracy database containing reviewed historical impairment data. An analysis of the data outputs a temporary impairment rating and a recovery score index, which yields a corrected and substantially accurate impairment rating report which can be used within the managed impairment repair process as the worker's compensation claim moves toward claim closure.

Abstract: Embodiments of this invention comprise a series of method steps for the specific purpose of searching and comparing different Building Codes. The steps are highly specific to the structure of Codes and terminology and organization of terms of art, such as “occupancy groups,” “construction types,” “building stories,” “capacity factors,” and the like. Input building codes are existing published codes, identified as “backbone codes.” Multiple backbone codes are compared using Levenshtein distances of text groups and matching code section titles and occupancy groups, using optional filters and search methods. Comparisons and comparison figures are output, with explanations.

Abstract: Certain embodiments of the present disclosure enable a charging authentication method and system configured to authenticate a power transfer interface between a power source and at least one device to facilitate a wired and/or wireless charging subscription associated with a user, user device, server device, vehicle, mobility device, and/or charging source, a flow of power and/or a stream of data. The charging subscription may enable a device to receive a charge or power from another device and/or power source if the device or a user thereof has a valid subscription associated with the other device and/or power source. A charging device or power source may provide a charge or power to a device if the device and/or user has a validated subscription associated with the charging device or power source and may not provide the charge or power to the device if the subscription is not validated.

Abstract: A high-density power distribution system incorporates smart tap-off boxes (TOB) connected to an overhead busway and receiving therefrom a three-phase input power supply. The smart TOB resolves the three-phase input power into 3N single-phase output power circuits (where N is a positive integer) each connected to an overcurrent protection (OCP) device associated with an amperage level. A set of 3N conductors connected to the smart TOB carries the single-phase output power circuits to a rack power distribution unit (PDU, rPDU) in a server cabinet (e.g., via rack connection devices connecting the conductors to the rPDU), the rPDU including a linear array of output power sockets corresponding to the single-phase output power circuits.
