  • Publication number: 20230139380
    Abstract: A document management system can include an artificial intelligence-based document manager that can perform one or more predictive operations based on characteristics of a user, a document, a user account, or historical document activity. For instance, the document management system can apply a machine-learning model to determine how long an expiring agreement document is likely to take to renegotiate and can prompt a user to begin the renegotiation process in advance. The document management system can detect a change to language in a particular clause type and can prompt a user to update other documents that include the clause type to include the change. The document management system can determine a type of a document being worked on and can identify one or more actions that a corresponding user may want to take using a machine-learning model trained on similar documents and similar users.

  • Patent number: 5748064
    Abstract: A low profile reactor or inductor with a spiral type of winding which conducts a high level of current for its allotted size. The present invention provides a unique two piece bobbin design in order to produce a reactor of this type in a small space with small dimensional tolerances. The two piece bobbin is designed to provide a connection to the interior terminal end of the reactor coil, which is normally difficult to accomplish because of the limited small size and area. A first bobbin piece defines a first bobbin flange, and the second bobbin piece defines a center post, providing a cylindrical winding surface, and a second bobbin flange. The center post is provided with a first recessed groove in the winding area, and the second bobbin flange is provided with a second recessed groove. A start terminal is positioned in the first and second recessed grooves below the surfaces thereof.
