Inventor: KELLY MARTIN
IPC: G06Q40/00
Filed: 2006-05-26
Abstract: The method and system enable risk assessment and presentment. The assessment includes estimation of a loss probability distribution of possible losses arising from the failure of business processes. The loss probability distributions of processes can be aggregated according to respective attribute hierarchies. The risk implications of changes within an organization can be assessed due to the linking of process change and operational risk. Control effectiveness, process value at risk, and a comparison of self-assessment against independent assessment can also be measured. The presentment includes an integrated, hierarchical process view of business operations and associated operational and compliance risks and controls, including the relationship between summary level process maps and the underlying detailed level process maps. The hierarchy contains risk and control attributes associated with any particular process. Process attributes in the hierarchy link bottom level processes to the individual business line, department, product, customer segment, or any other aspects of a business operation.

Title: Electromechanical dynamic force profile articulating mechanism
Inventor: SELBREDE MARTIN G
IPC: G02B26/02
Filed: 2006-08-30
Abstract: An electromechanical dynamic force profile articulating mechanism for recovering or emulating true parallel plate capacitor actuation behaviors from deformable membranes used in MEMS systems. The curved deformation of flexible membranes causes their MEMS behavior to deviate from known interactions between rigid plates that maintain geometric parallelism during ponderomotive actuation. The present invention teaches three methods for reacquiring parallel plate behavior: superaddition or in situ integration of a rigid region within or upon the deformable MEMS membrane; creation of isodyne regions to secure parallelism by altering the force profile upon the membrane by introducing tuned and shaped voids within the conductive region associated with the membrane; and a hybrid composite approach wherein the conductive region is deposited after deposition of a raised rigid zone, thereby emulating isodyne behavior due to the increased inter-conductor distance in the vicinity of the rigid zone, in conjunction with rigidity benefits stemming directly from said zone.

Title: A device for removing acrochordons
Inventor: SUNDSTROM STAFFAN
IPC: A61B17/08
Filed: 2005-12-20
Abstract: The invention relates to a device for removal of bothersome acrochordons or skin tags from the skin. The device has an adhesive surface which allows manipulation and locking of the skin tag in such a way that acrochordon ectomic strangulation can occur without anesthetic or risk for bleeding or infections. The device consists of three parts with one or several surfaces, the edges of which can be pivoted, folded, rotated or bent in relation to each other, whereby a more or less elastic strangulation of the skin tag causes an occlusion of the blood flow. The skin tag is simultaneously sealed to the skin surface and concealed by the device which makes the painless ectomic process cosmetically acceptable.
