  • Patent number: 11082381
    Abstract: Systems and methods for generating tasks based on chat sessions between users of a collaboration environment are disclosed. Exemplary implementations may: obtain content information characterizing content of the chat sessions between the users of the collaboration environment; generate tasks for the users based on the content from the chat sessions, a first task being generated based on the first content information for the first chat session; and/or store information defining the tasks generated as part of the state information such that the first task is defined by a first task record.

  • Patent number: 10119754
    Abstract: A portable beverage carrier and dispenser. The carrier comprises an elongate tube have one end open and the opposite end generally enclosed. The tube includes perforations to permit water to move in and out of the tube, and a float that is placed into the tube prior to inserting beverage containers. The carrier is designed to be inserted into a hole in the ice surface on a body of water. A flange prevents the tube from falling into the hole into the underlying body of water. Anchors can be provided to anchor the carrier to the ice surface. When the carrier is placed in a hole in the ice surface, water enters the interior of the tube via the perforations. The float is placed in the tube and then beverage containers are loaded on top of the float. The buoyancy of the float in the water forces the beverage containers upwards in the tube so that the topmost container can be readily retrieved by a user.

  • Patent number: 5915664
    Abstract: An outboard motor steering arm support includes a rail attached to a stern of a boat, parallel to a common axis of the boat's steering arm and steering arm sleeve. One end of a sliding connector is slidably attached to the rail, and another end is fixedly attached to the distal end of the steering arm. The rail and sliding connector ensure precise alignment between the distal end of the steering arm and the axis of the sleeve at all times. Bending stresses on the steering arm are thus substantially eliminated. Therefore, the steering arm slides smoothly within the sleeve, and operator steering effort and mechanical wear are minimized.
