Medical practice information (e.g., insurance claim information) is received from a plurality of medical practices (e.g., 80% of the medical practices in Massachusetts). The medical practice information is combined together so that inter-practice statistics can be determined based on the aggregated practice information. The aggregated practice information is analyzed to remove all individual medical practice identifying information (e.g., the Winston Cardiologist Group address which associated with its patients). The inter-practice statistics includes, for example, payment time for a particular procedure for a particular medical specialty in a geographic region (e.g., cardiologists in Massachusetts urban areas receive insurance payments for an angioplasty in 14.5 days) and/or any other type of statistic associated with a medical practice (e.g., insurance claim hold time). The inter-practice statistics can be utilized to allow a medical practice to improve its insurance claim submissions based on successful submissions of other medical practices (e.g., emulating the submissions of successful medical practices).

Many computer aided design (CAD) models include components that are supplied via third party vendors, also know as suppliers. These suppliers create CAD models of their components, place them in a library organized by logical categories, and then place the library in a cloud enable database infrastructure, which allows access to the supplier's library by other CAD users. As other users create new CAD designs, they will access specific supplier libraries in the cloud and add references to various supplier components within their own CAD design. All the references to any supplier components by any end user is stored in the cloud database infrastructure, allowing the suppliers to query who and how their components are being used in any end users CAD design.

A method, device and computer program for detecting point correspondences in sets of points and in particular for fingerprint verification. Points of note on fingerprint lines in a scanned fingerprint are compared with corresponding points of note on fingerprint lines in a reference fingerprint and matching pairs are formed from possible corresponding points of note in the scanned fingerprint and the reference fingerprint. A maximum number of such matching pairs is found. This allows an efficient method to be specified, for fingerprint verification for example, that requires only a small amount of working memory and computing power.

A method and system provide the ability to determine matching subjects for features provided in a stimulus. Subject information is pre-processed by receiving input (a feature type definition and a subject set) and building BitSets across all subjects in the subject set. The stimulus is received and includes stimulus features. For each feature type in the stimulus features, all feature type BitSets from the subject set that match are assembled. An evaluation BitSet is built by combining the assembled feature type BitSets. Matching subjects that match the stimulus are determined based on the evaluation BitSet.
