Appl. No.:

09/611165

Inventors:

Mark P. McCormick - Washington Crossing PA, US
Michael D. Abbott - Northwood NH, US
Paul J. Grous - Concord MA, US

Assignee:

Perot Systems Corporation - Plano TX

International Classification:

G06Q 10/00

US Classification:

705 2, 705 4, 705 30, 705 35, 705 36, 707104

Abstract:

A web-based system for collecting and managing administrative details of a member in a managed care organization. The system collects and makes available over the Internet to all concerned parties digital information that can be selectively retrieved, viewed and managed by all authorized participants. This information, for example, includes the personal demographic details concerning the member and their eligible dependents, their plan elections and preferences, and their benefits usage history. The aggregated information is stored in a central database, using a “member account” paradigm. The member supplies the base information for the member account at initial enrollment in a health plan, either directly through the Internet or through an interface to their employer's human resources data system. Such information is then available to be shared via the Internet with a health provider, new employer or health insurance plan, or for the member themselves. Historical information about expenditures, usage, payments, and the like, can then be added to the record as experienced, allowing a greater ability to derive value from the contained information.

International Classification:

A63H 3304

US Classification:

446111

Abstract:

A panel, formed of molded plastic material in a variety of polygonal geometric configurations, for incorporation into structures built with K'NEX construction toy sets. The panels include elements, typically formed at corners thereof, corresponding in size and shape to rod elements of the construction set and adapted for lateral snap-in assembly with connector elements of the toy set. At least one pair of corner elements is aligned along a common axis and the end-to-end distance between the elements of such pair corresponds with the length of a standard rod element in the construction set so as to be capable of substitution for a rod element in a structure of K'NEX components. The panels serve both aesthetic and structural functions in the assembly.

Appl. No.:

9/666109

Inventors:

Mark McCormick - Sellersville PA
Michael D. DiLabio - Pottstown PA

Assignee:

Connector Set Limited Partnership - Hatfield PA

International Classification:

A63H 3308

US Classification:

446 85

Abstract:

A structure-forming construction element for a toy log building set, such as those sold under the well known "Lincoln Logs". The construction element, typically a molding of plastic material, is formed with a plurality of adjacent sockets for the reception and gripping of log elements in parallel, side-by-side relation. In a typical form, the construction element is positioned on a support, and the log elements are oriented vertically in the sockets provided. A second, similar construction element may be placed on top of the upper ends of the logs. Side walls of the sockets can be notched to provide a castellated appearance, such that a structure with vertically spaced construction elements and vertical log elements has the appearance of a castle tower.

Appl. No.:

8/980476

Inventors:

Louis T. Barry - Skillman NJ
Mark B. McCormick - Weston CT

International Classification:

F23N 518
F23G 504

US Classification:

110188

Abstract:

A multiple hearth furnace having a drying zone, a combustion zone and a cooling zone includes a recirculation loop that recycles exhaust gas from the drying zone to the cooling zone. In some embodiments, a first control loop including a temperature measurement device that measures temperature in the combustion zone controls fan speed of a recirculation fan that drives the recirculation loop. A second control loop monitors recirculation fan temperature and overrides the first control loop if the recirculation fan temperature exceeds a predetermined maximum. A third control loop controls air flow into the furnace.
