Patent number: 11961047Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems, non-transitory computer-readable media, and methods for collecting, organizing, and managing third-party content from multiple sources associated with a user account to present as synthesized tasks in a consolidated graphical user interface and minimize the distraction provided by multiple interfaces. In particular, in one or more embodiments, the disclosed systems analyze content from various web-based data sources, collect relevant content, create synthesized tasks associated with the relevant content, and present the relevant content to the user grouped into synthesized tasks in a single graphical user interface. Additionally, the disclosed systems can prioritize the generated synthesized tasks within the graphical user interface and provide productivity metrics based on the degree to which an associated user interacts with the synthesized tasks.Type: GrantFiled: March 27, 2023Date of Patent: April 16, 2024Assignee: Dropbox, Inc.Inventors: Joseph Grillo, Angelique Rachel Little, Antonia-Celestina Divan, Elijah Clay Johnson, Jacqueline Alexis Deprey, Robert B.

Patent number: 11779242Abstract: Systems and methods use a three-dimensional snapshot of an infant, child, adolescent, or adult where the subject may have bent legs and an unaligned head position, to provide an estimate of human length. The system identifies anatomical features from the digital information and generates a virtual skeleton. The cumulative distances between pseudo-joints of the virtual skeleton provide an estimate of human length. Comparing length estimates from multiple three-dimensional snapshots of the same individual acquired over time provide an indication of growth of the infant, child, or adolescent. Daily estimates of length can detect growth faltering sooner than less frequent estimates of length, which can lead to timely intervention.Type: GrantFiled: June 2, 2022Date of Patent: October 10, 2023Assignee: PIXA4 LLCInventors: James Martin Swanson, Robert Clay Isenhart

Patent number: 11053770Abstract: An electrical submersible pump (“ESP”) has a seal member that carries a packer. A retainer initially retains the packer in a fixed axial position with the seal member as the ESP is lowered into a well conduit. The retainer is releasable after the packer has been set in the conduit in response to a thermal growth axial force on the seal member, enabling relative axial movement between the seal member and the packer. The seal member has annular seal rings that extend over an axial length on the tubular member that is greater than an axial length of the bore of the packer.Type: GrantFiled: January 5, 2017Date of Patent: July 6, 2021Assignee: BAKER HUGHES, A GE COMPANY, LLCInventors: John J. Mack, Robert Clay Patterson

Patent number: 10125759Abstract: A well pump assembly includes a pump and a motor that contains a dielectric motor lubricant and a pressure equalizer containing a bellows. The bellows has an interior in fluid communication with the motor lubricant and an exterior immersed in well fluid. The bellows is axially extendable and contractible in response to a pressure differential between the well fluid and the motor lubricant. A tube has a lower end secured to a tube port in the pressure equalizer housing and an upper end secured to a lower end of the bellows. The tube has a center line that makes at least one curved flexible bend between the tube upper end and the tube lower end to enable the tube to flex as the bellows extends and contracts.Type: GrantFiled: April 11, 2016Date of Patent: November 13, 2018Assignee: BAKER HIGHES, A GE COMPANY, LLCInventors: Steven W.

Patent number: 9790079Abstract: A dispenser is provided to receive and hold a bag-in-box container on top of a conventional type water cooler and to control the flow of water from the bag-in-box container into a water reservoir of the water cooler to maintain a desired level of water in the water reservoir. Level control of water in the reservoir is provided by controlling the venting of the sealed reservoir to the atmosphere and/or by controlling the flow of water into the reservoir from the water supply line. Venting control can be through use of a hydrophobic membrane or through use of float valves in the vent, and control of flow of liquid into the reservoir from the water supply line can be by a special float valve that allows high flow capacity at low pressures or through discharge of water from the reservoir. The reservoir can be formed as a flow through passage through a mass of temperature adjusting material.Type: GrantFiled: September 19, 2014Date of Patent: October 17, 2017Inventor: Robert Clay Groesbeck

Patent number: 9738506Abstract: An adapter to convert a conventional water cooler designed for use with substantially rigid water bottles as the source of water to use of bag-in-box liquid containers as the source of water includes a holder for removably holding a bag-in-box liquid container in place of the water bottle at the top of the water cooler and a liquid supply line connectable to a bag dispensing fitting of a bag-in-box liquid container positioned in the holder and a water bottle opening cap engaging pin above a water reservoir in the water cooler. Water from the bag-in-box liquid container can flow by gravity from the bag-in-box liquid container through the liquid supply line and the water bottle opening cap engaging pin into the reservoir. A water level controller to control the flow of water from the bag-in-box container into the water reservoir to control the level of water in the reservoir can also be included.Type: GrantFiled: March 24, 2016Date of Patent: August 22, 2017Inventor: Robert Clay Groesbeck
