  • Valve stem lifter
    Patent number: 12253186
    Abstract: A valve stem lifter assembly which operates to alternatively open and close a valve, includes a rotatably mounted rotary shaft having a top end axially aligned with a riser with a rigidly connected pull shaft and an opposite end axially aligned with an operator for selectively producing rotational movement of the rotary shaft and corresponding axial movement of the riser and pull shaft. The rotary shaft is rotatably connected to the riser by radius set screws positioned horizontally in the grooves of the rotary shaft. A plurality of guide shaft rods passing through the riser interconnects the riser to the valve stem lifter assembly to prevent axial separation of the riser and rotary shaft, and rotation of the riser, while permitting free relative rotation of the rotary shaft and axial movement of the riser and pull shaft.

  • Systems and methods for contextual highlighting of a document
    Patent number: 12254058
    Abstract: Systems and methods for contextual highlighting and redaction of documents are provided. Upon receiving highlighting data corresponding to a document, a client device may evaluate the highlighting data to generate a highlighting model, which may be stored in a cache of the client device. In response to an event, the highlighting model may be retrieved from the cache, and analyzed to determine a highlighting portion of a document model. A rendering of the document model including highlighting in the highlighted portion of the document model may then be displayed.

  • Resource conservation for containerized systems
    Patent number: 12254354
    Abstract: A method for conserving resources in a distributed system includes receiving an event-criteria list from a resource controller. The event-criteria list includes one or more events watched by the resource controller and the resource controller controls at least one target resource and is configured to respond to events from the event-criteria list that occur. The method also includes determining whether the resource controller is idle. When the resource controller is idle, the method includes terminating the resource controller, determining whether any event from the event-criteria list occurs after terminating the resource controller, and, when at least one event from the event-criteria list occurs after terminating the resource controller, recreating the resource controller.

  • Fuel system with sacrificial neck sleeve
    Patent number: 12252008
    Abstract: A fuel system is provided that includes a mounting block assembly configured to support an end of a fuel tank. The end of the fuel tank has a boss. The mounting block assembly encloses a space configured to receive the boss of the fuel tank. The fuel system also includes a bearing disposed in the space. The bearing has a support surface configured for sliding support of the boss of the fuel tank at an interface between the first portion and the second portion of the mounting block assembly. The fuel system also includes a sleeve. The sleeve is removably coupled to the boss of the fuel tank such that the sleeve is restrained longitudinally relative to the boss. The sleeve is configured to slide longitudinally relative to the support surface when the boss and sleeve are disposed on the support surface within the space of the mounting block assembly.

  • Systems and methods for detecting failure of spring contacts
    Patent number: 12253575
    Abstract: Systems and methods for monitoring and detecting partial or full mechanical failures of a spring contact configured to provide an electrical connection between two elements. In some examples, a spring contact may be arranged between a first element, such as a window or cover of an operational sensor, and a second element, such as a printed circuit board. The window or cover may have an electrical element with a first electrical contact, and the printed circuit board may be attached to the spring contact via a joint (e.g., solder, weld, adhesive). A processing system may be configured to determine a state of the joint based on vibrations sensed by one or more vibration sensors attached to the second element.

  • Method for nipple replication
    Patent number: 12254562
    Abstract: A method includes scanning a user's nipple via a user computing device to generate a scan image and applying a machine learning engine to the scan image to identify the user's nipple. The method also includes generating an output scan image via the machine learning engine, where the output scan image includes features identifying the user's nipple within the output scan image. The method also includes applying a genetic algorithm to the output scan image to generate a 3D image of the user's nipple, where the genetic algorithm employs at least one genetic process and where the 3D image of the user's nipple is a baby bottle nipple profile. The method also includes transmitting the 3D image of the user's nipple to a second user computing device for 3D printing of a custom baby bottle nipple, where the custom baby bottle nipple is a 3D replication of the user's nipple.

  • Interferometric measurement system using time-correlated photons
    Patent number: 12253357
    Abstract: An optical source is configured to simultaneously generate a set of four time-correlated photons comprising a first pair of photons and a second pair of photons. An interferometer is configured to receive a photon from the first pair of photons and configured to receive another photon from the first pair of photons. A first and a second detector configured to generate an electrical signal in response to measurements of an output of the interferometer. A third detector is configured to generate an electrical signal in response to measurement of a photon from the second pair of photons. A fourth detector is configured to generate an electrical signal in response to measurement of another photon from the second pair of photons.
