  • Patent number: 10997541
    Abstract: A research, analysis, regulatory compliance and media platform that connects customers to finished research and analysis produced by subject matter experts is described. The platform facilitates research, investigations, and analysis by creating a single environment in which a group of distributed analysts conduct research and investigations, store and retrieve documents and other sources, collaborate, and publish findings. Consumers are able to query a published knowledge graph, surface high value relationships, and access insights captured by analyst through a customer web portal or external production environment. The platform allows analysts and customers to research and map the commercial, financial, and facilitation networks of sanctioned or other actors that may be associated with illicit activity. Customers can access visual graphs depicting relationships between sanctioned and non-sanctioned actors in order to evaluate their possible exposure to financial crime or sanctions-related risks.

  • Patent number: 10871443
    Abstract: A gas analyzer includes an oxidation device and a subsequent photometer, wherein the oxidation device has a reaction chamber located in an exhaust gas path and a heating chamber downstream thereof, where an ultraviolet light source generates ozone from residual oxygen content of the exhaust gas within the reaction chamber to convert nitrogen monoxide into nitrogen dioxide in the exhaust gas, nitrogen oxides and excess ozone are broken down into nitrogen dioxide and oxygen in the heating chamber, the photometer outputs the measured nitrogen dioxide concentration as nitrogen oxide concentration of the untreated exhaust gas, and where an additional photometer is located in the exhaust gas path between the reaction chamber and the heating chamber which, via light absorption, measures the ozone concentration in the partially treated exhaust gas and outputs the same as oxygen concentration of the untreated exhaust gas.

  • Publication number: 20200355802
    Abstract: A scanning-system including transmit/receive paths, a transmitter, a receiver and a rotating-scanning-device. The transmitter emits radiation which propagates along an optical-axis on the transmit-path. The radiation from the target-object is detected by the receiver on the receive-path. The rotating-scanning-device includes an optical-system and a rotating-deflection-unit, which deflects the radiation of the transmit/receive paths. The optical-system includes a first-focusing-unit and a rotating-second-focusing-unit. The movements of the rotating-deflection-unit and the rotating-second-focusing-unit occur synchronously to ensure an alignment of the deflected radiation with the second-focusing-unit. The first-focusing-unit reproduces the radiation emitted by the transmitter on the rotating-deflection-unit so that the beam-diameter on the rotating-deflection-unit is reduced.

  • Publication number: 20200164449
    Abstract: A power tool including a rotatable support arrangement for supporting at least one cutting disc. An upper shroud member and a lower shroud member cooperate to define a volume in which the at least one cutting disc can be supported. The rotatable support arrangement can be coupled to the upper shroud member such that movement of the upper shroud member towards the lower shroud member causes the cutting disc to protrude through an opening in the lower shroud member. A biasing member urges the upper shroud member and the lower shroud member away from each other. A limiting mechanism limits the range of movement of the upper shroud member relative to the lower shroud member under action of the biasing member. The limiting mechanism can be disengaged by opening the upper shroud member via at least one hinge coupling.

  • Publication number: 20200164544
    Abstract: A power tool including a rotatable support for supporting at least one cutting disc and being configured to be rotatably driven by an electric motor; a shroud for restricting the path of debris generated and defining a shroud outlet opening through which debris can be sucked by a vacuum device; a sub-volume within the shroud, an outlet from the sub-volume in fluid communication with the shroud outlet opening and an inlet thereto distal to the shroud outlet opening in fluid communication with remaining volume in the shroud. The inlet to the sub-volume and the outlet from the sub-volume extend along first and second axes in different planes. A conduit defining the sub-volume is configured so debris sucked through the sub-volume undergoes a change in direction by riding along a curved wall of the conduit providing that debris exits the sub-volume travelling along a direction substantially parallel with the second axis.
