20100185469 | Insurance Policy Renewal Chain - A system and method for the automatic linking of expired, current, and future insurance policies is provided. Within each insurance policy is a plurality of conditions frequently used in the determination of an insurance policy premium or rate quote. Such terms are calculated based upon information either associated with or obtained from a particular policyholder. By automatically linking policy information and policy terms from prior insurance policies, information previously submitted by a policyholder or calculated in regards to activity on a particular policy is used in automatic calculation and generation of a future policy term. Thus, straight-thru processing is achieved via organizing of prior policies for assistance in renewals, loss ratio calculations, shifts in payroll numbers (i.e., the number of employees insured under a single policy), and previous claim activity under the same type of policy. | 07-22-2010 |

The locked notes are output as part of a judicial proceeding associated with the employer liability claim initiated by said employee, wherein the employer liability claim is resolved, protected against and/or defended based on the locked notes. | 06-03-2010 |
20100131511 | Computer-Implemented Electronic Diary to Enter Locked Legal Notes for Historical Archival - A system for the entry of legal notes, wherein the legal notes, after submission, are stored is non-editable form and are locked in a database for historical archival. In one scenario, the entered legal notes are editable and can be deleted for a pre-set time period, wherein, after the expiration of the pre-set time period, the entered legal notes are stored is non-editable form and are locked in a database for historical archival. Filters can be used to categorize and render the stored legal notes based on a set of categories. | 05-27-2010 |
20100049854 | Network device and interceptor module system and method for controlling remote communications - A remote communication system and method are disclosed. An environment in an electronic device, such as a computer based device, is identified defining a plurality of parameters communicated between the electronic device and a remote computer as part of a remote session (i.e., the electronic device remotely controlling the remote computer via the remote session), with each parameter defining an action associated with the remote session. A first application, via a unidirectional communication with the environment, modifies at least one parameter associated with the environment (e.g., modifying keyboard scan codes, cursor position, mouse position, clipboard data, screen resolution, or channel administration). A network device (e.g., a router, a switch, a hub, a repeater, a multilayer switch, etc.) monitors communication between the electronic device and the remote computer and extracts the modified parameter and, based on a look-up, executes a pre-defined action affecting the remote session, wherein the pre-defined action is different than the modified parameter's associated action. | 02-25-2010 |
20100049853 | Electronic device and remote computer system and method for controlling remote communications - A remote communication system and method are disclosed. An environment is identified defining a plurality of parameters communicated between an electronic device (or a computer-based device) and a remote computer as part of a remote session (i.e., the electronic device remotely controlling the remote computer via the remote session), with each parameter defining an action associated with the remote session. A first application (associated with the electronic device), via a unidirectional communication with the environment, modifies at least one parameter associated with the environment (e.g., modifying keyboard scan codes, cursor position, mouse position, clipboard data, screen resolution, or channel administration), wherein the modified parameter is extracted by an interceptor associated with the remote computer and, the interceptor, based on a look-up, executes a pre-defined action affecting the remote session, wherein the pre-defined action being different than the modified parameter's associated action. | 02-25-2010 |
20100049820 | Simplex communications parameters of remote sessions system and method for controlling remote communications - A first and second environment define parameters communicated between a first computer remotely controlling a second computer (a first remote session) and between the second computer remotely controlling the first computer (a second remote session), with each parameter defining an action associated with the first or second remote session. A first application, via a unidirectional communication with the first environment, modifies a first parameter, wherein the first parameter is extracted by a first interceptor (associated with the second computer) that, based on a look-up, executes a pre-defined action (different than the first parameter's associated action) affecting the first remote session. A second application, via a unidirectional communication with the second environment, modifies a second parameter, wherein the second parameter is extracted by a second interceptor (associated with the first computer) that, based on a look-up, executes a pre-defined action (different than the second parameter's associated action) affecting the second remote session. | 02-25-2010 |
