  • Publication number: 20240098036
    Abstract: This disclosure describes a payload pipeline system that, as part of an inter-network facilitation system, can facilitate digital payload throughput between network components using a staggered payload relayer. For example, the disclosed systems utilize custom tooling to implement a staggered payload relayer as an intelligent conduit or pipeline that operates as a publisher-subscriber paradigm system (as opposed to a data stream system). In some cases, the disclosed systems can utilize synchronous or asynchronous communication to receive digital payloads for events from publisher network components and to make the digital payloads available within a payload queue maintained by the staggered payload relayer (for access by subscriber network components).

  • Patent number: 11500884
    Abstract: A search system performs a federated search across multiple databases and generates a ranked combined list of found genealogical records. The system receives a user query with one or more specified characteristics. The system may determine expanded characteristics derived from the specified characteristics. The system searches the various databases with the characteristics retrieving records according to the characteristics. The system combines the retrieved records and ranks them using a machine learning model. The machine learning model is configured to assign a weight to the records returned from each of the genealogical databases based on the characteristics specified in the user query. The machine learning model may be trained by any combination of one or more of: a Nelder-Mead method, a coordinate ascent method, and a simulated annealing method. The ranked combined results are provided in response to the user query.

  • Patent number: 11369237
    Abstract: The present invention is a material roll support system operable to hold of a roll of material and a method relating thereto. The material roll support system comprises two independent holder units, each of which can support one side of a roll of material. The independent holder units may be fixedly or non-fixedly attached to a surface, or may be held in a position solely by gravity. The surface upon which an independent holder unit is positioned may be supports, such as posts or other surfaces, such that a roll of material can be held by the independent holder units in an area or environment that contains such supports and between such supports. The independent holder units can further be positioned at varying distances from each other and the material roll support system can thereby can be used to support rolls of materials of varying widths.
