Publication number: 20230022476Abstract: A method performed by at least one computing system and including performing a document identifying operation on a corpus of documents. The documents are associated one each with a plurality of numeric tier scores. The operation identifies results including one or more of the documents. The method includes calculating each tier score in a portion of the numeric tier scores and organizing the documents into tiers based at least in part on the numeric tier scores. The portion of the numeric tier scores is identified based on the results. The tiers are ranked from most to least relevant and include relevant and non-relevant portions. The method includes sending any of the tiers in the relevant portion one at a time to one or more reviewer computing devices in an order determined by the ranking. Any of the tiers in the non-relevant portion are not sent to reviewer computing device(s).Type: ApplicationFiled: September 28, 2022Publication date: January 26, 2023Inventor: Benjamin David Sexton

Patent number: 8943745Abstract: A handheld, vibrating pollen sifter device is disclosed having a handle portion, a vibrating motor, an enclosure for storing pollen generating plants and a screen for dispensing the liberated pollen therefrom onto a target plant. The vibrating motor disturbs the pollen grains from the stamen of flowers placed within the enclosure. The pollen is then liberated into the air through the screen at the base of the enclosure, providing a means to fertilize a plant abiotically. The motor is electrically driven by a power means, preferably a battery pack to allow improved mobility outdoors. An embodiment of the device utilizes a vibratory wand attached to a fine-mesh sifter bowl at its distal end that supports the flower stamen.Type: GrantFiled: March 1, 2012Date of Patent: February 3, 2015Inventors: David Sexton, Jason Bruce
