| 20100106661 | ECONOMIC MODEL FOR MEASURING THE COST AND VALUE OF A PARTICULAR HEALTH INSURANCE PLAN - The present invention provides a system and method for measuring the relative economic benefits from services offered by health care plans. The present invention quantifies value of health care quality by indicating an economic return on the investment in health care quality, enabling organizations and businesses to view health care quality in a familiar paradigm that extends health plan differentiation beyond premium and benefits. Businesses may employ the present invention to compare different health care plans or classes of plans, such as accredited versus non-accredited plans. Specifically, a particular plan or class of plans may provide improved monitoring, treatment and control of various medical conditions, and the present invention quantifies the economic benefits to employers from the improved health care for employees. In one embodiment, the present invention looks to a set of specific medical conditions and is based on three key steps. First, the present invention identifies the overall level of employees at the organization affected by these conditions. Second, the present invention uses the reduction in absenteeism and low productivity days made possible by improved monitoring and control of the medical conditions. Third, the present invention calculates a monetary valuation to the firm of the reduction in absenteeism and low productivity days based on the firm's average revenue per employee, average daily wage, and other parameters. | 04-29-2010 |

| 20090150109 | CALIBRATION PROCEDURE FOR RIVET HEIGHT GAGES - A method, apparatus, and computer usable program product for calibrating rivet height gages. In one embodiment, the process calculates a size of sphere required to create a sphere-based ring gage to simulate a contact point between a rivet height gage and a sharp edge of a specified sharp-edged ring gage. The process identifies an expected protrusion height from a top of the rivet height gage to a reference surface formed by tops of a set of spheres of the size of sphere required to simulate the contact point. | 06-11-2009 |
