  • Publication number: 20200037720
    Abstract: A divider assembly including a divider having a divider wall, a first divider attachment structure coupled to a first end of the divider wall, and a second divider attachment structure coupled to a second, opposite end of the divider wall. Each of the first and second divider attachment structures has one of a protrusion configured to be slidably received in a correspondingly-shaped channel, or a channel configured to slidably receive therein a correspondingly-shaped protrusion, to thereby retain the divider in place. The first and second divider attachment structures each have a pair of parallel flanges that closely receive the divider wall therebetween.

  • Publication number: 20200004945
    Abstract: The present disclosure describes a computer-implemented platform for managing electronic endorsable instruments and electronic endorser verification information in order to validate endorser identity. A computer system receives an endorsable electronic instrument and a mobile phone number associated with a targeted potential endorser. The endorsable electronic instrument and a verification information request are sent to the mobile phone number by sending a link to an endorsement application via a message to the mobile phone number. The endorsed electronic instrument and corresponding verification information are received and are associated to validate the endorsed instrument.

  • Publication number: 20190075072
    Abstract: The present disclosure describes integrating SMS/MMS messaging with a collaboration platform, and filtering SMS/MMS messages within a collaboration platform. One embodiment includes associating a phone number with a project within a collaboration platform; receiving an SMS/MMS message at the phone number from a mobile telephone device; and based on receiving the SMS/MMS message at the phone number, adding the content of the message to an activity feed of the project. In another embodiment, a phone number can be associated with a plurality of projects. Attributes of SMS/MMS messages received at this phone number is compared to project data of the plurality of projects to route the message content to an activity feed of a project of the plurality of projects, or to a mailroom.

  • Patent number: 10191090
    Abstract: Systems and methods according to these exemplary embodiments provide for methods and systems related to optical current sensors used to monitor standby power transformers, specifically fiber optical current and voltage sensors and, more particularly, to applications involving filters for use in such sensors, such as frequency tracking comb filters. According to one embodiment, a method for monitoring a connection condition of a stand by power transformer includes the steps of measuring a current flowing through a high voltage side of the standby power transformer using at least one optical current sensor disposed proximate to a current flow path of the high voltage side, using a comb filter to filter the measured current, determining whether the filtered, measured current is less than a predetermined threshold value; and generating an alarm indication that the high voltage side of the standby power transformer is unconnected.

  • Publication number: 20180356568
    Abstract: Embodiments generally relate to methods for preventing the formation of an emulsion in a liquid lens. In one embodiment, the method comprises fabricating a top substrate, a bottom s substrate, and a central substrate including a cavity configured to be filled by first and second liquids. The liquid lens comprising the top substrate, the bottom substrate and the central substrate is assembled, with at least one of the top substrate and the bottom substrate in the assembled liquid lens being characterized by a stabilizing feature determining that in response to an impact load on the assembled liquid lens that would cause localized pressure drops of 10 maximum magnitude X in the absence of the stabilizing feature, the maximum magnitude of localized pressure drops within the liquid lens is smaller than X.

  • Patent number: 10129200
    Abstract: The present disclosure describes integrating SMS/MMS messaging with an electronic communications collaboration platform, and filtering SMS/MMS messages within a collaboration platform environment. One method includes associating a phone number with a particular project within a collaboration platform to form a project phone number, receiving a message at the project phone number, based on receiving the message at the project phone number, adding the content of the message to an activity feed of the particular project, and sending the message content added to the activity feed to one or more phone numbers from the project phone number. A project phone number can be associated with a plurality of projects, and the phone number from which a message is received at the project plurality phone number is compared to project data of the plurality of projects to route the message content to an activity feed of a project of the plurality of projects.
