International Classification:

G06F017/60
G09G005/00

US Classification:

705/004000, 345/700000

Abstract:

A system used by a underwriter for evaluating life insurance applications. The system provides graphical user interfaces (screens) that are used to select conditions applicable to the insurance applicant, and to select ratings associated with those conditions. The ratings can be manually entered by an underwriter or entered automatically when selected at a screen. Ratings are displayed individually and as a total rating. The ratings may be manually adjusted by the underwriter. The system automatically calculates (using a mortality table) the life expectancy of the applicant based the total rating, and the life expectancy is recalculated when a rating is adjusted by the underwriter. The life expectancy is displayed side-by-side to ratings information on the screens so that the underwriter can visually determine the impact of ratings and adjustments to ratings on the life expectancy of the applicant. Profile screens may be used to prompt the underwriter to enter information concerning complex medical conditions (such as coronary artery disease or diabetes) and to automatically provide a rating from a rating table in response to the entered data.

Abstract:

Disclosed example power supplies, user interfaces, and methods are provided for intuitive or automatic control of welding parameter output ranges. The disclosed systems and methods provide tools for setup of configurable and/or default settings for a welding power source and/or wire feeder. Weld settings include upper and lower limits for an operating range corresponding to one or more welding parameters, such that a welding parameter value is bound by the upper and lower limits during a welding operation. In some examples, the operating range, and the corresponding upper and lower limits, are calculated or determined based on a selected range tolerance.

B65B 5/10

US Classification:

993235, 53474

Abstract:

Popcorn machines having modular construction that permits shipping in a disassembled condition while providing for quick and simple assembly are disclosed. The popcorn machines include an upper unit spaced from and above a base unit, a plurality of columns that extend vertically between and are connected to the upper unit and base unit. At least three side panels extend within the respective spaces located between the upper and base units and the between the spaced apart columns. The use of a wiring harness in a corner column facilitates the modular construction by permitting plug and socket connection of electrical cords when the upper and base units are connected to the plurality of columns. A side panel having slidable connectors at or near at least two opposed edges and a method of preparing to ship a popcorn machine also are disclosed.

US Classification:

3405733, 455 411, 374186

Abstract:

A system includes sensors for transmitting data on a low power and/or short range transmission link, and one or more coordinators in wireless communication with the sensors. The coordinators convert signals received via the low power and/or short range transmission link to a longer range transmission link. A base station is in wireless communication with the coordinators via the longer range transmission link so that data generated by the sensors is transferred to the base station via the coordinators.
