    Abstract: A system for providing an insurance product for at least one insured customer, including a communication device for receiving at least one application, each application associated with an applicant and including information about the applicant, a processor configured to determine for each application if the applicant qualifies as an insured customer, and a memory configured for storing an account record associated with each insured customer having at least one insured event associated with that insured customer, a benefit amount payable in association with the at least one insured event, an insurance cost, and a cash value based on predetermined account record factors, wherein the processor may define a reserve fund, determine an investment performance associated with the reserve fund during at least one period of time, and calculate a performance credit amount based on the investment performance of the reserve fund and the cash value.

    Abstract: Measuring transit time across an asynchronous first-in-first-out (FIFO) memory can include sampling an indication of a value of a read pointer of the FIFO memory at a sampling frequency that exceeds a frequency of a read clock and a write clock of the FIFO memory. An indication of a value of a write pointer of the FIFO memory can be sampled at the sampling frequency. For each sampling period, a measure of occupancy of the FIFO memory can be calculated according to a sampled pair including the indication of the value of the read pointer and the indication of the value of the write pointer. The measure of occupancy can be averaged over a predetermined number of cycles of the sampling frequency. The averaged measure of occupancy can be output as an indication of transit time across the FIFO memory.

    Abstract: Methods and devices to determine rate of particle production and the size range for the particles produced for an individual are described herein. The device (10) contains a mouthpiece (12), a filter (14), a low resistance one-way valve (16), a particle counter (20) and a computer (30). Optionally, the device also contains a gas flow meter (22). The data obtained using the device can be used to determine if a formulation for reducing particle exhalation should be administered to an individual. This device is particularly useful prior to and/or following entry in a cleanroom to ensure that the cleanroom standards are maintained. The device can also be used to identify animals and humans who have an enhanced propensity to exhale aerosols (referred to herein as “over producers”, “super-producers”, or “superspreaders”). Formulations to reduce particle production are also described herein. The formulation is administered in an amount sufficient to alter biophysical properties in the mucosal linings of the body. When applied to mucosal lining fluids, the formulation alters the physical properties such as the gel characteristics at the air/liquid interface, surface elasticity, surface viscosity, surface tension and bulk viscoelasticity of the mucosal lining. The formulation is administered in an effective amount to minimize ambient contamination due to particle formation during breathing, coughing, sneezing, or talking, which is particularly important in cleanroom applications. In one embodiment, the formulation for administration is a non-surfactant solution. In one embodiment, the formulations are conductive formulations containing conductive agents, such as salts, ionic surfactants, or other substances that are in an ionized state or easily ionized in an aqueous or organic solvent environment. Preferably the formulation is administered in the form of an aerosol.
