  • SUPPORT ASSEMBLY FOR AN APPLIANCE
    Publication number: 20210207881
    Abstract: A support assembly includes a support surface configured to selectively transition between a stowed position, a deployed position, and an intermediate position defined between the stowed position and the deployed position. A retention feature is operably coupled to the support surface and is configured to transition the support surface between the stowed position and the deployed position. The retention feature includes a projection about which the support surface pivots to define a pivot axis. A bracket is coupled to the support surface and is configured to distribute a load along the support assembly in the intermediate position and the deployed position.

  • CLOSING APPARATUS FOR USE WITH A MULTI-PIECE, HINGED, HYDROPONIC TOWER
    Publication number: 20210169028
    Abstract: A tower closing apparatus is provided that is configured to simplify the closing of a multi-piece, hinged hydroponic tower. The hydroponic tower closing apparatus utilizes a collection of static and continuously moving components (e.g., motor driven drive rollers, alignment rollers, tower body alignment rollers, face plate manipulation rollers, face closing rollers, etc.) to close a hydroponic tower as it passes through the apparatus. In particular, as the tower is driven through the closing apparatus, a series of face plate manipulation rollers gradually rotate the face plate(s) relative to the tower body, moving the face plate(s) from a fully open position to a partially closed position. Next a series of face closing rollers continue to rotate the face plate(s) from the partially closed position to the fully closed position, forcing the fasteners to latch the face plate(s) into position.

  • Preventing data leakage via version control systems
    Patent number: 11003790
    Abstract: A computer system prevents data leakage via version control systems. Outgoing traffic that is destined for an external server hosting a version control system is identified. The outgoing traffic is associated with an endpoint device corresponding to an individual who is a member of the organization. Historical information is collected about the individual, and a user account of the version control system that is associated with the identified individual is identified. The external server hosting the version control system is searched to determine whether potentially sensitive information has been uploaded. Embodiments may further include a method and program product for preventing data leakage via version control systems in substantially the same manner described above.

  • ROUTING BASED ON VEHICLE CHARACTERISTICS
    Publication number: 20200388167
    Abstract: Aerial vehicles are assigned to routes within a transportation network based on a state of charge, state of power, and/or state of health for the aerial vehicle. Such aspects can be modeled based on one or more statistical models and/or machine-learned models, among other examples. As another example, an energy budget is used to ensure that the state of charge, state of power, and/or state of health of the aerial vehicle during and/or after traveling the route remains within the energy budget. A payload is assigned to a route and an associated aerial vehicle, thereby generating an itinerary. In examples, the itinerary is validated by the aerial vehicle to ensure that the aerial vehicle is capable of traveling the route with the payload. In examples where the aerial vehicle rejects the itinerary, the itinerary is assigned to another aerial vehicle and a new itinerary is identified for the aerial vehicle.
