Abstract:
Computer machine, manufacture, methods of making and using the same, and product produced thereby, as well as necessary intermediates, each pertaining to a system of the kind adapted to transform insurance risk for a transaction, in cooperation with different entities with respective computing systems. Embodiments transforming insurance risks into credit risks to accomplish one or more financial guarantees are preferably carried out in multiple jurisdictions.
Abstract:
Machine and related manufacturer controlling multi-jurisdictional investment; a computer system arranged to receive information and locate said information into a memory, the information including investment specifications and pricing data for the financial product, the computer system further including: an input device for receiving the information and converting the information into signals; a program control to compute, from said signals, for calculating respective valuations of parts of investment in respective jurisdictions and a program control to trigger printing documentation, including said valuations, to carry out the implementation of the parts in the respective jurisdictions. In variations thereof, such as optimizing, separating, valuation, and execution are supported.
Abstract:
An apparatus used for maintaining a wind tower structure wherein the wind tower structure may have a plurality of legs and may be configured to support a wind turbine above the ground in a better position to interface with winds. The lift structure may be configured for carrying objects and have a guide system and drive system for mechanically communicating with a primary cable, rail or other first elongate member attached to the wind tower structure. The drive system and guide system may transmit forces that move the lift relative to the cable and thereby relative to the wind tower structure. A control interface may be included for controlling the amount and direction of the power into the guide system and drive system thereby causing the guide system and drive system to move the lift relative to said first elongate member such that said lift moves relative to said wind tower structure.
Abstract:
A method implemented with a machine, the machine, and the method for using the machine, and products produced thereby, the method including using a digital electronic computer having a processor programmed for electronically processing input data into output data, the computer electronically connected to an input device and to output devices, for calculating expected and projected results of assumptions related to specific contractual exposures (either underlying plans of insurance or reinsurance, or contractual insurable risk exposure to individuals, or corporate contractual benefit payment exposures to individuals), maintaining and storing such calculations, periodically comparing the expected and projected results to actual occurrences results as inputted into the computer, calculating the differences between actual and projected results and preparing reports of the results of the calculations.
Abstract:
A hanger with an integral U shaped clamping device for attachment to a metal support of a screened enclosure. The clamping device includes one resilient lined sidewall of which is movable by means of a hand-operated screw in order to clamp the hanger to the support. The resilient interior walls of the clamp provide a solid yet non-damaging surface area to hold the hanger securely to a vertical support structure of a screen enclosure.
Abstract:
A method and system for installing a drive pin in an interference hole created by joining a first structural member and second structural member of a wind turbine structural tower is disclosed.

Abstract:
Apparatus (method implemented with a machine, the machine, and the method for making the machine, and products produced thereby) for controlling a system of managing cash flows for a transaction, the apparatus including: data processing means arranged for receiving information into memory, said information including respective descriptions of risks, statistical assumptions for said risks, and financial assumptions for said risks, the data processing means further including: calculating means, responsive to said descriptions and said assumptions, for calculating expected cash flows corresponding to said risks for time periods; accounting means for determining, responsive to actual cash flow information from occurrence of events corresponding to said risks, for a first party to the transaction owing the expected cash flows to a second party to the transaction, and for determining, for the second party owing the actual cash flows to the first party, a net settlement, for each of said time periods, between the parties in the transaction, to manage the actual cash flows and the expected cash flows.
Abstract:
Apparatus (method implemented with a machine, the machine, and the method for making the machine, and products produced thereby). The computer system can, for example, be structured (e.g., including programmed) to carry out the steps of: calculating an insurance reserve requirement from data; segmenting, for the reserve requirement, an insured contingency risk from a corresponding capital requirement to produce components; and carrying out the reinsurance transaction by steps including: allocating the components to different parties, one of the parties from a group including an insurance risk carrier and a source of an asset for said capital requirement; and assigning assets for the reserve requirement to a reinsurance asset trust to receive reinsurance credit for said reserve requirement.
