  • Intelligent summaries based on automated learning and contextual analysis of a user input
    Patent number: 11126796
    Abstract: The techniques provided herein improve existing systems by automatically generating summaries of a document in response to a user input that defines selected segments of a document. The document can include any type of content such as, but not limited to, channel conversations, chat threads, transcripts, word processing documents, spreadsheets, etc. As the user indicates a selection of segments, a system can dynamically update a summary of the segments to inform a user of salient information that is shared in the selected segments. A summary can include a text description of the information having a threshold priority level. A system can analyze documents that are referenced within the selected segments and provide summaries of the documents. The techniques disclosed herein also provide a number of graphical elements that communicate additional context of each part of the summary.

  • Diaphragmatic damper
    Patent number: 11126207
    Abstract: A flow control device including a first channel, a second channel, and a diaphragm positioned between the first channel and the second channel, wherein the diaphragm includes a first side and a second side that faces an opposite direction as the first side. The diaphragm is configured and arranged to alternatively operate in both: a closed condition in which flow from the first channel to the second channel is impeded, and an open condition in which flow from the first channel to the second channel occurs. The diaphragm is also configured and arranged to change from the closed condition to the open condition when a force of a positive fluid flow through the first channel towards the first side of the diaphragm exceeds a combination of a gravitational force and a force of atmospheric pressure upon the second side of the diaphragm.

  • Determining vehicle load center of mass
    Patent number: 11125640
    Abstract: Various examples are directed to systems and methods for operating a vehicle comprising a tractor and a trailer attached for pulling behind the tractor. A center-of-mass system may determine a mass of the trailer and a tractor understeer. The center-of-mass system may determine the tractor understeer using steering input data describing a steering angle of the tractor and yaw data describing a yaw of the tractor. The center-of-mass system may determine a load center of mass using the tractor understeer and a mass of the trailer. The center-of-mass system may further determine that the load center of mass transgresses a center-of-mass threshold and send an alert message indicating that the load transgresses the load center-of-mass threshold.

  • Linear electric device having reciprocating movement linked to rotational movement of a shaped cam
    Patent number: 11128197
    Abstract: An electric device has a driveshaft with at least one stator cylinder positioned between opposing, curvilinear shaped cams mounted on the driveshaft, where the center axis of the stator cylinder is parallel with but spaced apart from the driveshaft axis. A magnet assembly is disposed in each end of the stator cylinder, with one magnet assembly engaging one cam and the other magnet assembly engaging the other cam. Each magnet assembly includes a cam follower that can move along a curvilinear shaped cam. A magnet slide arm attached to the cam reciprocates magnets carried on the magnet slide arm through electromagnetic windings disposed around the stator cylinder. An electrical input delivered to the windings can reciprocate the arm, driving the cams to rotate the driveshaft. Alternatively, rotation of the driveshaft can be used to reciprocate the arm to induce electric current in the windings.
