  • Patent number: 11966972
    Abstract: The disclosure describes embodiments of systems, methods, and non-transitory computer readable storage media that utilize a machine learning model and a credit value model to generate user interface elements that present credit values and credit value conditions in real time for user accounts. For instance, the disclosed systems can generate an activity score using an activity machine learning model with internal user activity data of a user account. Then, utilizing a credit value model with the activity score and a user activity condition, the disclosed systems can determine a dynamic credit value range for the user account. Indeed, the disclosed systems can display user interface elements with selectable credit values from the dynamic credit value range. Additionally, the disclosed systems can utilize the credit value model to determine and display one or more dynamic credit value conditions for a selected credit value received from the selectable credit values.

  • Publication number: 20150210409
    Abstract: A system and method for stacking two bulk bags one on top of the other on a pallet, the method comprising controlling a pallet feeder into providing a pallet; filling a first bag with a first amount of product on the pallet and sealing the first bag; filling a second bag with a second amount of product, and depositing the second bag filled with the second amount of product on top of the first bag on the pallet; and straightening the bags on the pallet; wherein these steps of controlling, filling the first and second bags, and straightening are controlled by a programmable controller, the programmable controller selecting the first amount to be fed to the first bag supported by the pallet and, selecting the second amount to be fed to the second bag.

  • Patent number: 4672438
    Abstract: A simulator is used with an optical locking device such as a cinetheodolite to provide inexpensive, convenient operator training. The simulator has a video monitor mounted on the viewer of the theodolite to display simulation images to an operator. A television camera mounted on the main telescope of the theodolite feeds a background image to the monitor. A graphics generator superimposes a target image on the background image. The movement of the telescope is coordinated with the movement of the target image on the monitor to provide a realistic simulation.

  • Patent number: 4611408
    Abstract: A mechanical averaging gauge for averaging displacements at a plurality of locations along the surface of an object. The gauge includes a measuring unit which is urged into contact with the surface of the object. Several probes extend from the measuring unit and rest on the surface of the object. The probes are interconnected by means of cylindrical sliding members in contact with the rear of each of the probes. Trapezoidal sliding members are disposed between the cylindrical members so that the displacement of the measuring unit from a reference surface is the average of the various displacements of the individual probes. The arrangement also results in each probe contacting the surface of the object with substantially equal force. Therefore, the arrangement has application as a clamping device.

  • Patent number: 4327495
    Abstract: A staging fixture for holding a single vane nozzle assembly in a predetermined position enables characterization of the effective throat area of the nozzle assembly. The fixture has a holding element for supporting the assembly in a central position, mechanical structure for locating the assembly in the holding element, a first reference surface structure having a first reference surface in opposed juxtaposition to the central position, and a second reference surface structure having a second reference surface in opposed juxtaposition to the central position and on a side opposite to that of the first reference surface. Open area measurements made with a standard reference vane element provide alignment or calibration measurements whereby leading and trailing "half areas" of a single vane airfoil assembly can be determined.

  • Patent number: 4326338
    Abstract: A gage for directly measuring the deviation in cross sectional area of a passage from a nominal value employs a hydraulic system having pistons operatively engaged therewith. The pistons move in response to movement of passage contacting finger elements and the hydraulic system responds to piston movement to generate a measure of the passage area. At least one set of the finger elements has rotatable passage contacting members, each member having an elongated passage contacting surface. Each member rotates about a respective axis positioned to keep the center of each contact surface in a fixed position relative to the finger. Stop means are provided by fixed outboard finger elements, juxtaposed opposite movable finger elements, for providing improved stability for positioning the comparison gage.

  • Patent number: 4238116
    Abstract: This invention consists of a front and rear lift mechanism or jack for lifting bogged down wheels of a skidder from ruts in the ground. It consists of a front and rear bracket each of which is equipped with a plurality of horizontal and vertical rollers which guide a cable from a winch on the skidder, away from the frame-work and body of the skidder when the cable is tied to a tree in the process of raising the bogged down skidder from the ruts in which it is stuck.
