Abstract: Transformation of disparate data for use in rendering a decision involving a potentially insurable risk. An Extract, Transform, Load (ETL) process extracts the data and converts it from a plurality of formats into a standard format for processing. A heuristic engine inferentially processes the converted data to identify information relevant to the decision to be rendered. A consolidation and presentation engine generates presentable knowledge from the relevant information and then presents the knowledge to a decision-making entity for rendering the decision. And an optimization feedback process monitors one or more actions on the presented knowledge by the decision-making entity and adjusts one or more of the ETL process, the heuristic engine, and the consolidation and presentation engine as a function of the monitored actions.

Title: Systems and methods for applying a novel antimicrobial coating material to a medical device
Inventor: BURKHOLZ JONATHAN KARL
IPC: A01N43/54
Filed: 2013-03-28
Abstract: An antimicrobial composition, generally comprising a biocidal agent, such as chlorhexidine gluconate, a lubricant, such as a modified siloxane, and a solvent, such as an alcohol and/or water.  The biocidal agent acts as a highly effective biocide while the lubricant reduces friction between various components of a medical device during assembly. The antimicrobial composition may be applied to an internal component of the medical device prior to assembly. The process of assembling the medical device results in antimicrobial composition being distributed to various internal structures and geometries of the medical device as the coated, internal component is assembled into the interior of the medical device. Air is then used to further distribute excess antimicrobial agent to the remaining surfaces downstream from the installed, internal component. In some embodiments, additional air is passed through the assembled medical device to assist in removing the carrier solvent from the medical device via evaporation.
