Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20120072361METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR CAREER MANAGEMENT ASSESSMENT MATCHING - A method for system for career matching assessment matching. One or more electronic questionnaires that are designed to reflect models of working environments, problem solving, communication and inter-personal skills are presented via a communications network. Each candidate and/or employer fills in a separate questionnaire. The job seeker answers questions as if the job seeker was the employer and the employer answers questions as if the employer were the job seeker. The particular pattern of their answers provides a profile for both the job seeker and the employer. A matching process then assesses the amount of overlap between the profiles of different candidates and employers. Greater candidate-employer overlap yields superior job performance, higher levels of job satisfaction and longer retention.03-22-2012

20100073631DEVICE AND METHOD FOR REDUCING VISUAL ABERRATION - A modified lens and a method of modifying a lens for alleviating visual aberrations such as glare, halos and starbursts from light sources are disclosed. The modified lens comprises an opaque patch containing a transparent area incorporated into a substantially transparent lens. The method of modifying the lens comprises determining the optimum shape, size and placement of the opaque patch and transparent area within the lens for each specific patient and incorporating the opaque patch into the lens.03-25-2010

20100228570COMPUTER SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR GENERATING HEALTHCARE RISK INDICES USING MEDICATION COMPLIANCE INFORMATION - A healthcare risk index is generated using a patient or individual's pharmacy claims. The index may be used to explain and predict variation in pharmacy-related costs and variation in total healthcare costs or utilization. In particular, the index is generated by first examining the individual's pharmacy claims to identify any chronic conditions possessed by the individual. Similarly, the individual's pharmacy claims are examined to identify any compliance medications prescribed to the individual. The chronic condition information is used to generate a chronic condition score by summing regression coefficients for each chronic condition possessed by the individual. Likewise, the compliance medication information is used to generate a compliance medication score by summing products of regression coefficients for each compliance medication prescribed to the individual with associated medication supply weights. From there, a modified chronic condition score is generated by multiplying the chronic condition score by an overall chronic condition regression coefficient. The modified chronic condition score may then be further modified by subtracting a no-claims weight from the chronic condition score in cases where the individual has no pharmacy claims. Finally, the risk index may be determined by summing the modified chronic condition score and the compliance medication score.09-09-2010

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090043812INFORMATION ASSESSMENT ASSOCIATE FOR CHECKPOINT OPERATIONS - In accordance with an embodiment, a method includes receiving, by a computing environment, one or more answers to one or more questions from an assessing agent at a security checkpoint. The agent interrogates a party attempting to pass through the security checkpoint with questions. The questions are provided to the agent in real time by the computing environment. The party being interrogated providing the answers. Subsequent answers are dynamically correlated in real time with previously received answers, and with either or both of real time and/or stored security data until a security status is established. A security status for the party is determined in real time based on the results of the correlating. The security status of the party is communicated to the assessing agent in real time.02-12-2009
20090192962INTELLIGENT THREAT ASSESSMENT MODULE, METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR SPACE SITUATIONAL AWARENESS SYSTEM - Threat assessment modules are disclosed that intelligently review evidence of potential threats posed by detected objects within a region of exo-atmospheric space and generate a most probable threat scenario to facilitate administration of counterspace operations.07-30-2009
