20150302419 | APPRAISAL ADJUSTMENTS SCORING SYSTEM AND METHOD - A system and method for appraisal adjustments scoring rates the quality of adjustments made by appraisers in their appraisals of real property. This is done by accessing a model adjustment database that is based on an automated valuation model and a peer adjustment database that is based on an aggregate of appraiser peers in the same geographic location as the subject property. A comparison is conducted for adjustments made by the appraiser to both model adjustments and peer adjustments to determine discrepancies. When a discrepancy is larger than a threshold, a message or warning may be generated. A sales pool composition database is also accessed to determine a valuation impact of the flagged adjustments given the particular set of comparable sales selected by the appraiser. After data evaluation, a rating score is calculated for the property appraisal based on the number and severity of messages and the valuation impact. | 10-22-2015 |

20160000191 | Pull and Release Latch - A pull and release latch including a releasable lock featuring stress preventers and a limit stop. The limit stop prevents the releasable lock from cantilevering too much to the point of breaking or stressing the releasable lock. A unique design allows a male component and a female component to be easily engaged while at the same time the pulling force to release the lock gives the same motion to separate the two components in a direction perpendicular to a cantilever axis. | 01-07-2016 |

20110289035 | Clinical Decision Model - An embodiment of the invention provides a method for determining a patient-specific probability of disease. The method collects clinical parameters from a plurality of patients to create a training database. A fully unsupervised Bayesian Belief Network model is created using data from the training database; and, the fully unsupervised Bayesian Belief Network is validated. Clinical parameters are collected from an individual patient; and, such clinical parameters are input into the fully unsupervised Bayesian Belief Network model via a graphical user interface. The patient-specific probability of the healing rate of an acute traumatic wound is output from the fully unsupervised Bayesian Belief Network model and sent to the graphical user interface for use by a clinician in pre-operative planning. The fully unsupervised Bayesian Belief Network model is updated using the clinical parameters from the individual patient and the patient-specific probability of the healing rate of an acute traumatic wound. | 11-24-2011 |

20140029735 | DEVICE AND METHOD FOR DETERMINING A VOICEMAIL, RING OR ALERT BEHAVIOR OF A TELEPHONE BASED ON DAY AND TIME - A method and apparatus can be used to determine a voicemail, ring and/or alert behavior of a telephone based on day, time and date. By matching the current day and time against a default set or a user input set of ring/alert behaviors, a telephone can be instructed to ring, not ring, refuse a call, flash a light, vibrate or go directly to one of several voicemail messages upon the event of an incoming call. This allows users to program the phone to not disturb them during inconvenient times, such as a baby's nap time, meal time, or the like. In can also prevent early morning and late evening calls while potentially informing the caller that they should call at a more reasonable hour in the future. | 01-30-2014 |
