| 20090094064 | Healthcare Insurance Claim Fraud and Error Detection Using Co-Occurrence - A healthcare insurance claim that includes variables characterizing aspects of a healthcare service for which reimbursement is sought is analyzed in order to determine whether there are any aspects that are indicative of fraud or error. This analysis includes generating score variables from the variables of the healthcare insurance claim and determining whether a presence of one or more of the pairs of variables is indicative of fraud or error based on levels of co-occurrence of the one or more pairs in historical healthcare insurance claims. If a positive determination occurs, then the healthcare insurance claim can be flagged or elevated for review by a user. Related techniques, apparatus, systems, and articles are also described. | 04-09-2009 |

| 20080249820 | CONSISTENCY MODELING OF HEALTHCARE CLAIMS TO DETECT FRAUD AND ABUSE - Transaction-based behavioral profiling, whereby the entity to be profiled is represented by a stream of transactions, is required in a variety of data mining and predictive modeling applications. An approach is described for assessing inconsistency in the activity of an entity, as a way of detecting fraud and abuse, using service-code information available on each transaction. Inconsistency is based on the concept that certain service-codes naturally co-occur more than do others. An assessment is made of activity consistency looking at the overall activity of an individual entity, as well as looking at the interaction of entities. Several approaches for measuring consistency are provided, including one inspired by latent semantic analysis as used in text analysis. While the description is in the context of fraud detection in healthcare, the techniques are relevant to application in other industries and for purposes other than fraud detection. | 10-09-2008 |

| 20090272095 | ICE SHED REDUCTION FOR LEADING EDGE STRUCTURES - A leading edge structure for use in an aerospace vehicle includes a body having a flowpath surface which defines a leading edge adapted to face an air flow during operation; and a metallic icephobic plating comprising nickel applied to at least a portion of the flowpath surface. | 11-05-2009 |
| 20090272850 | ICE SHED REDUCTION FOR LEADING EDGE STRUCTURES - A leading edge structure for use in an aerospace vehicle includes a body having a flowpath surface which defines a leading edge adapted to face an air flow during operation, and an opposed inner surface. The body is segmented into a plurality of portions having varying thermal properties and/or mechanical discontinuities, so as to promote stress concentrations in ice attached to the flowpath surface. | 11-05-2009 |

| 20110095340 | Soft error reduction circuit and method - In some embodiments, complementary charge-collecting diffusions (transistor diffusions, e.g., drain or source areas) are disposed close to each other. In some embodiments, dummy (“off”) transistors are incorporated to bring complementary diffusions (diffusions of the same charge type and having complementary digital logic levels) closer to each other than otherwise might be possible and thus, to enhance common-mode charge collection for the complementary diffusion areas. | 04-28-2011 |

| 20080224038 | METHOD OF DETERMINING THE POWER TRANSFER OF NUCLEAR COMPONENT WITH A LAYER OF MATERIAL PLACED UPON A HEATING SURFACE OF THE COMPONENT - A method to characterize the power transfer of a nuclear component is provided including the steps of obtaining a sample of a deposit layer on a side of a nuclear component, obtaining a scanning electron microscope image of an outside surface of the sample, obtaining a scanning electron microscope image of an inside surface of the sample, analyzing the scanning electron microscope images of the outside and inside surfaces of the sample for a presence of capillaries and steam chimneys, and calculating the power transfer of the component based on a number of steam chimneys in the deposit layer. | 09-18-2008 |
