20110208783 | Integration of User Identifiers - User identifiers associated with a plurality of enterprises may be integrated. A request is received to link a plurality of user identifiers associated with a plurality of enterprises. A first user identifier associated with a first enterprise is received, and a second user identifier associated with a second enterprise is received. The first user identifier and a first enterprise identifier are stored in a first data structure of a memory. The second user identifier and a second enterprise identifier are stored in a second data structure of the memory. A first account identifier associated with the first user identifier is determined by a processor. A second account identifier associated with the second user identifier is determined by the processor. The first user identifier, the second user identifier, the first account identifier, and the second account identifier are stored in a virtual profile to link the first and second user identifiers and facilitate retrieval of information associated with the first and the second user identifiers from a selected one of the first enterprise and the second enterprise. | 08-25-2011 |

20150088556 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PROCESSING PROPERTY INSURANCE - Methods and systems for processing property insurance are provided. According to embodiments, an insurer can process an insurance application for a property by determining a property rating score that reflects a need to conduct a manual inspection of the property. The insurer can apply a set of business rules or metrics to additional property data to further refine the decision of whether to conduct a manual inspection of the property as well as the decision of whether to issue a property insurance policy for the property. By not requiring a manual inspection, both the insurer and the insured may realize reduced costs. | 03-26-2015 |

20090087666 | CURABLE HIGH REFRACTIVE INDEX RESINS FOR OPTOELECTRONIC APPLICATIONS - Novel compositions and methods of using those compositions to form high refractive index coatings are provided. The compositions preferably comprise both a reactive solvent and a high refractive index compound. Preferred reactive solvents include aromatic resins that are functionalized with one or more reactive groups (e.g., epoxides, vinyl ethers, oxetane), while preferred high refractive index compounds include aromatic epoxides, vinyl ethers, oxetanes, phenols, and thiols. An acid or crosslinking catalyst is preferably also included. The inventive compositions are stable under ambient conditions and can be applied to a substrate to form a layer and cured via light and/or heat application. The cured layers have high refractive indices and light transmissions. | 04-02-2009 |
