  • Patent number: 11977570
    Abstract: Content of different formats may be sourced from various data sources such as content servers and ingested into a data integration server by an ingestion broker embodied on a non-transitory computer readable medium. The ingestion broker may normalize the content of different formats into a uniform representation that can be indexed and delivered across multiple digital channels for a variety of applications. The normalized content may be analyzed and semantic metadata may be determined from the normalized content. The normalized content can be semantically enriched by associating the semantic metadata and the like with the content. The semantic metadata can be stored in a semantic index that can be used for searching via the data integration server. During search, the semantic metadata can be instantiated as facets for user navigation and refinement of search criteria and additional semantic relationships can be assigned to the words in the normalized content.

  • Patent number: 11885480
    Abstract: A mounting plate mounting plate for a recessed light fixture comprising a body which is flat and which extends in a plane, the body being pierced with an opening which is substantially circular; a portion of material forming a central target at a center of the opening; and at least one branch which bridges the central target to the body. The central target is to be illuminated by a laser light for proper placement (alignment). The at least one branch can be bent upwardly and away from the center of the opening to retain an electrical wire of a transformer on the mounting plate, immediately aside a dedicated opening for easy retrieval, making the installation faster and avoiding spilling mineral wool from the roof by manual searching of such an electrical wire.

  • Patent number: 6736265
    Abstract: A general purpose mechanics toolbox that is able to withstand external environmental conditions and abuse is disclosed. Typically, the toolbox includes a main body having a front and top cover. Tubular gaskets run between the top and front covers and the body, thereby providing a watertight seal. The body is typically constructed of a high durability plastic. The toolbox can be closed and latched with a latch mechanism that can optionally be locked.
