Patent number: 11713123Abstract: The present disclosure provides a swivel stop comprising a rotating member, a first boss coupled to the rotating member and a second boss coupled to the rotating member, and a second plate having a first interference surface and a second interference surface. An interference between the first boss and the first interference surface and the second boss and the second interference surface tends to limit the rotation of the rotating member with respect to the second plate. The swivel stop may further comprise a rail wherein the second plate is configured to translate along the rail.Type: GrantFiled: October 16, 2020Date of Patent: August 1, 2023Assignee: AMI INDUSTRIES, INC.Inventors: Ryan Stuart Porter, Keith M.

Patent number: 10761836Abstract: At least one ALM artifact, indexed by a unified data store, that does not comply with at least one process convention can be identified. Responsive to identifying the ALM artifact, indexed by the unified data store, that does not comply with the process convention, a determination can be made by a process convention agent executed by a processor as to whether script code is available to update the ALM artifact to comply with the process convention. Responsive to the process convention agent determining that script code is available to update the ALM artifact to comply with the process convention, the process convention agent can automatically execute the script code to update the ALM artifact to comply with the process convention.Type: GrantFiled: September 4, 2018Date of Patent: September 1, 2020Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Muhtar B.
