Patent number: 11017052Abstract: A computer-implemented method may facilitate user interaction with an interactive form. In one aspect, the method may detect a selection of the form by a user of a client device. The method may then automatically provide instructions that cause a web browser application of the client device to (1) display a submit control inside a form interaction framework area of a form interaction page, the form interaction framework area being outside a form container area of the form interaction page, (2) use a viewer software component to display the interactive form inside the form container area while the submit control is displayed in the form interaction framework area, and (3) in response to detecting a user activation of the submit control, communicate the user activation to the interactive form using a programmatic interface of the viewer software component such that the interactive form executes the form submission function.Type: GrantFiled: October 11, 2019Date of Patent: May 25, 2021Assignee: STATE FARM MUTUAL AUTOMOBILE INSURANCE COMPANYInventors: Frederick L.

Publication number: 20200315106Abstract: An irrigation system having a pipeline supported by one or more towers includes an improved truss connection system having a means for readily adjusting a crown height of the pipeline. A pair of cooperating members define a joint which selectively couples headed ends of adjacent truss rods together to form a truss rail of a truss system that supports the pipeline. A single fastener may fasten the cooperating members, a strut, and a cross-member together at the joint. A length of the truss rail may be decreased by holding the truss rods closer together. In an aspect, the headed ends of the adjacent truss rods are held closer together by inserting a shim in one of the joints. Decreasing the length of the truss rail increases the deflection of the pipeline and raises the crown height.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 8, 2019Publication date: October 8, 2020Inventors: Russell Scott Reinke, Jon Patrick Henry, Bradley George Weatherl, Mark Randall Virus, Darin Joseph Neff

Publication number: 20200315107Abstract: A greaseless pivot center swivel and bearing device is provided. The device includes an outer housing having a sidewall with top and bottom portions, a top plate coupled with the top portion that includes an opening therein, and a bottom plate coupled with the bottom portion that includes an opening therein. The sidewall cooperates with the top and bottom plates to define an interior volume. A single, unitary bushing member formed of a low-friction material is positioned within the interior volume and includes a surface cylindrically curved about an axis extending between the top and bottom plates of the housing. The cylindrically curved surface cooperates with the openings in the top and bottom plates to define a cylindrical passage through the interior volume sized and shaped for receiving a cylindrical tube that rotates therein, e.g., a tube configured to connect with a water supply column of a mechanized irrigation system.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 31, 2019Publication date: October 8, 2020Inventors: Darin Joseph Neff, Bradley George Weatherl, Mark Randall Virus, Russell Scott Reinke, Jon Patrick Henry

Patent number: 10621390Abstract: Summarization of an input story can be accomplished through identification of causal relationships, both explicit and implicit. The input story is transformed into an interpretation sequence, using syntactic cues, and common sense knowledge of an average reader. The interpretation sequence is a time ordered semantic representation of the input story, comprised of story elements. The common sense knowledge includes inference rules, which, from story elements already present, can add additional story elements to the interpretation sequence. Application of inference rules, based on type, can be prioritized. Summarization of the interpretation sequence can be accomplished by the selection of explicit story elements, according to a connection-based strategy, or a concept-based strategy. Regarding a concept-based strategy, metrics can be applied, to select the concepts for contra-causal searching of the interpretation sequence.Type: GrantFiled: August 9, 2015Date of Patent: April 14, 2020Assignee: Massachusetts Institute of TechnologyInventor: Patrick Henry Winston

METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR TRACKING SINUSOIDAL WAVE PARAMETERS FROM A RECEIVED SIGNAL THAT INCLUDES NOISE
Publication number: 20190294649Abstract: A system for tracking selected wave parameters from a received sinusoidal wave with noise and methods for making and using the same. The method includes performing a multi-track double integral analysis of the sinusoidal wave with noise and creating time dependent outputs. These time dependent outputs may be analyzed mathematically to determine the amplitude, frequency and/or phase of the wave with reduced noise. In one embodiment, the method may employ multiple passes through double integral analysis. The method advantageously can measure output sinusoidal wave parameters with reduced noise, measurements that are close to theoretical noise reduction limits.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 10, 2017Publication date: September 26, 2019Inventor: Manus Patrick HENRY -
