| 20080261165 | Systems for haptic design of dental restorations - The invention provides systems for integrated haptic design and fabrication of dental restorations that provide significant advantages over traditional practice and existing computer-based systems. The systems feature technical advances that result in significantly more streamlined, versatile, and efficient design and fabrication of dental restorations. Among these technical advances are the introduction of voxel-based models; the use of a combination of geometric representations such as voxels and NURBS representations; the automatic identification of an initial preparation (prep) line and an initial path of insertion; the ability of a user to intuitively, haptically adjust the initial prep line and/or the initial path of insertion; the automatic identification of occlusions and draft angle conflicts (e.g., undercuts); the haptic simulation and/or marking of occlusions and draft angle conflicts; and coordination between design output and rapid prototyping/milling and/or investment casting. | 10-23-2008 |

| 20090090311 | SOOTBLOWING OPTIMIZATION FOR IMPROVED BOILER PERFORMANCE - A sootblowing control system that uses predictive models to bridge the gap between sootblower operation and boiler performance goals. The system uses predictive modeling and heuristics (rules) associated with different zones in a boiler to determine an optimal sequence of sootblower operations and achieve boiler performance targets. The system performs the sootblower optimization while observing any operational constraints placed on the sootblowers. | 04-09-2009 |

| 20090076858 | Business process automation in a health plan organization - The computer implemented method and system disclosed herein automates business processes of a health plan organization using a plurality of portals. The portals comprise a sales portal, a member portal, an employer portal, an administration portal, and a provider portal. Health plans are listed using the sales portal. A sales agent proposes at least one of the health plans to a consumer using the sales portal. The administration portal generates insurance quotes for the proposed health plans. The consumer enrolls for the proposed health plans using one of the member portal and the employer portal. The consumer is billed for the enrolled health plans based on the insurance quotes using the administration portal. The consumer pays a premium amount online for the enrolled health plans using the member portal or the employer portal. The administration portal then generates commissions for the sales agent for the enrolled health plans. | 03-19-2009 |

| 20090099865 | Healthcare provider performance and utilization analytics - Disclosed herein is a computer implemented method and system that addresses the need for utilization analysis and performance evaluation of providers in a health care organization. The health care data comprising health plan information of consumers, providers, claims, and hospitals is collected, translated, and organized in a structured relational format and stored in standard tables. The organized health care data is analyzed by calculating consumer statistics for a health plan using the health plan information of the consumers. The claims of the consumers are processed to classify the claims based on age, gender, disease, and comorbid conditions of the consumers. A plurality of costs of the health care organization is determined using one or more of the health plan information. The performance of the providers is assessed using the determined plurality of costs. The providers comprising primary care physicians are analyzed based on entire population of the associated consumers. | 04-16-2009 |
| 20090150182 | Disease and case management system - Disclosed herein is a computer implemented method and system that addresses the need for an online disease based and case based management of medical care. An online disease and case management system is provided. The information of the patients is retrieved from multiple information sources. The patient information is used to identify one of a disease condition in a patient population and a patient with a disease condition. Further, the patients are enrolled. The enrolled patients are educated about the disease condition for self monitoring of the disease condition. The status of the self monitored disease condition is recorded in a disease log. Visits to a provider are scheduled for medical treatment of the enrolled patients. The enrolled patients are monitored for medical progress based on the medical treatment provided. Further, the disease and case management of medical care are evaluated and reported based on clinical and financial outcomes. | 06-11-2009 |
| 20090281826 | Process, Knowledge, And Intelligence Management Through Integrated Medical Management System For Better Health Outcomes, Utilization Cost Reduction and Provider Reward Programs - Disclosed herein is a computer implemented method and system for rewarding health care providers using an integrated medical management system. A web application analyzes performance of the health care providers. The web application acquires information from integrated medical management system. The acquired information includes information of health care quality improvement analysis, disease and case based management, utilization analytics, physician profiling, authorizations management, lab and imaging information, and health risk assessment information. The web application determines performance indices for the health care providers based on the acquired information. The performance indices include a quality index, an economic index, and a relative value unit index of the health care providers. The web application analyzes the performance of the health care providers based on the performance indices. The analysis includes identifying health care providers eligible for a reward. The health care providers are then rewarded based on the analyzed performance. | 11-12-2009 |

| 20090130167 | Drug Delivery Device and Method for Use with Prosthetic Device Implantation - Implantable drug delivery devices are provided which are adapted to be installed adjacent to at least a portion of an orthopedic prosthetic device implanted on a surgically prepared bone section of a patient. For example, the prosthetic device may be a hip joint replacement or knee joint replacement. The drug delivery device may include a body having a core formed from a non-biodegradable material formed in the shape of a sleeve and having an inner surface and an outwardly directed outer surface, wherein the outer surface has a drug formulation for release thereof into the body of the animal following implantation of the prosthetic device within the body of the animal. The outer surface may define one or more pockets for holding the drug formulation. | 05-21-2009 |

| 20110106575 | INTEGRATED TECHNOLOGY (IT) ESTIMATION MODELING - In general, the present invention provides a technique for IT estimation modeling of any organization. Although this estimation model is applied to SOA herein, it is not limited to solely estimating SOA activities; the maturity-based estimation modeling can be applied to other areas and disciplines, even beyond the IT industry. The maturity-based model of the present invention also offers executives and project managers a very effective estimating tool to analyze the impact of project variances. Resources do not need to be taken off projects and assigned to perform estimations, as this model acquires knowledge over time and delivers ever more precise estimates with each successive project. Executives and project managers may analyze the effects of additional staff, function changes, or other events to an overall project. Additionally, new projects may be estimated without utilizing current personnel with this adaptive learning model. | 05-05-2011 |
