20090295124 | Ground Level Loading Trailor - A trailer has a deck frame arranged to carry a load thereon for being towed by a towing vehicle in a transport position spaced above the ground. The deck frame is further arranged to be lowered from the transport position to a loading position at ground level. Side rails supporting wheels thereon are hinged at a rear of the deck frame and are pivotally coupled to a hitch arm at a front end. A lift mechanism lifts the front end of the deck frame in the loading position relative to the front of the side rails to simultaneously raise the rear end of the deck frame by lowering the front of the side rails relative to the ground. The hitch arm may remain coupled to the towing vehicle as the deck frame is displaced between the loading and transport positions. | 12-03-2009 |

20140278494 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR HEALTH CARE ACCOUNT PROCESSING - Systems and methods are described herein to provide a health care account processing solution that can (1) provide financial security when a participant experiences unexpected major medical expenses the participant may not otherwise be able to afford, (2) provide control of health care decisions to participants and providers, (3) reduce overhead and structural costs required to administer traditional health insurance plans, (4) reduce over-utilization and under-utilization of health care through a participant-controlled health care spending account that can be coupled with a health and wellness program (e.g., a rewards-based wellness program), and (5) encourage provider competition through the use of cash based, point-of-sale payments and transparent pricing. The systems and methods discussed herein describe, among other things, computer-implemented, rules-based systems for managing the health care accounting solution introduced above. In some examples, the rules-based systems are applicable for processing other types of transactions than health care-related transactions. | 09-18-2014 |

In an example, the account processing systems and methods are used to process health care expenses for groups or individuals.
