  • Patent number: 11980786
    Abstract: A proportioner having a body portion that defines a foam passage and a fluid passage. The proportioner also includes a restrictor assembly having a restrictor disk and an orifice plate having an opening for receiving the restrictor disk. The proportioner can further include a rod member connected to the restrictor disk and a clapper assembly connected to the rod member via a sliding interface. The clapper assembly can be configured to control a flow of the foam concentrate through the foam passage in proportion to a flow of the fire protection fluid through the fluid passage by moving the rod member to vary the distance between the restrictor disk and the orifice plate. The sliding interface can be disposed between a first guide and a second guide, and at least a portion of the restrictor disk is disposed in the opening.

  • Publication number: 20240142229
    Abstract: A method of communicating information to a measurement probe mounted on a coordinate positioning machine includes encoding the information as one or more of a plurality of characteristic movements of the probe, controlling the machine to impart the movement(s) to the probe, detecting the movement(s) at the probe, and decoding the information at the probe from the detected movement(s). A measurement probe for use in such a method is mountable to the machine and includes at least one movement sensor for sensing movement imparted to the measurement probe by the machine, and a controller for determining whether the sensed movement includes one or more of the plurality of characteristic movements of the probe and for performing an operation at or controlling operation of the probe in dependence on the determination.

  • Publication number: 20240086502
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method of operating a device is provided. The method comprises operating a sensor to capture a data input, individuating an element of the data input, tagging an individuated element with metadata, matching the metadata with an associated permission set, and applying a restricting function defined in the associated permission set to the individuated element during a process flow to produce augmented reality output data restricted as required by the associated permission set. A device is also provided, comprising a sensor, an individuating component to individuate an element of sensor data from the sensor, a tagging component to tag the individuated element, a matching component to match a tag of the individuated element with a permission of a permission set, and a restricting function component to restrict an application's interaction with the individuated element.

  • Patent number: 11919757
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a scissor jack comprising four arms hingedly arranged to provide two opposite elbows between a base and a load support. A pair of trunnions are provided with an outer trunnion at one outer elbow and a threaded trunnion at another outer elbow opposite to the one outer elbow connected through a threaded shaft. The inner third trunnion is connected to two rods to form a yoke. The yoke is configured to slideably pass through the outer trunnion of the one outer elbow to extend beyond the one outer elbow. A pair of levers are provided which are configured to be secured to the inner third trunnion. The scissor jack further comprises springs or any other retaining mechanism attached to a pair of levers, to ensure that the pair of levers return to their original location or position when the scissor jack is lowered.

  • Patent number: 11880377
    Abstract: Systems and methods are described for identifying a target entity that a user intends to refer to based on input that may include only a partial name of the entity. A system may receive a user's entity search query, which may include a partial entity name, then may determine initial candidate matching entities and associated name match scores for each of the initial candidate matching entities relative to the input string, such as using string matching or fuzzy matching techniques. The system may apply a probability match model to generate an overall match score for individual ones of the initial candidate matching entities, then may generate a response to the entity search query that includes information regarding one or more of the initial candidate matching entities with an overall match score exceeding a threshold.
