  • Patent number: 11256912
    Abstract: This disclosure is generally directed to identifying electronic forms using spatial information of elements presented on a website. Identifying a type of an electronic form may include identifying particular input elements associated with the form, determining a bounding region of the input element, expanding the bounding region, and determining any intersections of the expanded bounding region with one or more label elements proximate to the input element. Keywords of the label elements can be analyzed to increase or decrease a confidence level that an input element is associated with a particular input type. A bounding region can be dynamically sized based on a number of intersecting elements. An electronic form can be identified based on the identified input elements. In some instances, the electronic forms may assist a user in accessing or updating remotely stored personal information, including payment information, across one or more third party electronic sites.

  • Patent number: 11250999
    Abstract: A waterproof switch device and a waterproof switch module for a vehicle trunk door employing the same are disclosed. Without using a PCB, terminal leads and a pair of switch terminal parts providing switch terminals are integrated with the switch bracket by injection molding. A push button unit is capable of switching the exposed switch terminals and is also sealingly coupled to the top side of the switch bracket so that the space containing the switch terminals and the switch contacts is waterproof. The lead portions of the switch terminals and the switch cables are connected in the terminal receiving space of the switch bracket, and the waterproofing part fills the terminal receiving space so that they are completely embedded so as to be waterproof. The waterproof switch module for a vehicle trunk door adopts the waterproof switch device and is composed of a double waterproof structure by applying an additional waterproof structure.

  • Patent number: 11251667
    Abstract: Each permanent magnet module for a permanent magnet rotor includes a base-plate and a permanent magnet element attached to the base-plate. The base-plate includes a bottom section and an upper section between the bottom section and the permanent magnet element. The permanent magnet modules constitute subsets so that permanent magnet modules of different subsets differ from each other by positions of the upper sections of the base-plates with respect to the bottom sections of the base-plates so that the permanent magnet elements of the permanent magnet modules of the different subsets are axially successive and circumferentially shifted when the bottom sections of these permanent magnet modules are axially successive and circumferentially aligned. Thus, the permanent magnet elements of the permanent magnet modules can be arranged into, for example, skewed rows on a surface of the rotor.

  • Patent number: 11221193
    Abstract: A firearm accessory is operable in two modes. A first mode in which the firearm accessory is coupled, at least indirectly, to a firearm to define a foregrip. In the first mode, a blade on the accessory is in a sheathed position. A second mode in which the firearm is disconnected from the firearm to define a knife. In the second mode, the blade is in an extended position. In each mode and position, the tip of the blade is vertically above the upper end of the grip body. The firearm accessory has prongs that connect the grip body to an attachment mechanism or coupler. Within the coupler are flexible liner locks that have sloped protrusions that engage recess in the blade to lock the blade in the extend position. The liner locks may be flexibly unlocked by depressing a button carried by the grip body.

  • Patent number: 11115346
    Abstract: A packet forwarding network may include switches that forward network packets between end hosts. A monitoring network may be coupled to the forwarding network. A controller may control switches in the monitoring network to forward network packets tapped from the forwarding network to network flow information generation circuitry. The controller may provide configuration information such as record description information to the network flow information generation circuitry. Based on the configuration information, the network flow information generation circuitry may dynamically generate instructions that generate network flow information records. A set of network flow information records may be stored in a repository at the network flow information generation circuitry. The repository may include hash values associated with each of the stored network flow information records.
