  • Patent number: 11030356
    Abstract: A system for automating design of a support frame for artificial rockwork structures. The system includes a processor and memory storing a three dimensional (3D) mesh for an exterior surface of a rockwork structure. The system includes an offset module that is code/instructions or software executed by the processor to process the 3D mesh and generate an offset mesh defining a 3D topology of the exterior surface at an offset distance from the 3D mesh. The system also includes a chip-defining module including software executed by the processor to divide the offset mesh into a plurality of subsections. The system further includes a rebar line-defining module with software executed by the processor to generate an assembly of rebar pieces for each of the subsections that defines for each of the rebar pieces a length, a location within the subsection, and a set of spaced apart bends.

  • Patent number: 10789260
    Abstract: A method and system for identifying results of a query that includes a type predicate is provided. A search system maintains a collection of facts that includes a triple for each fact and a type table that maps entities of the facts to their corresponding type. The search system uses the type table to speed up the process of identifying the search results when the query includes a non-type query triple and a type query triple. A type query triple is a triple that has a type predicate, rather than a non-type predicate. To execute a query that contains a non-type query triple and a type query triple, the search system identifies the triples of the collection that match the non-type query triple. The search system then uses the type table to determine which of the identified triples match the type query triple for inclusion in the search results.

  • Publication number: 20200253361
    Abstract: A portable hydration device for use with a portable hydration system is described. The portable hydration device comprises a housing having an inlet, configured to be in fluid communication with a reservoir of water, and an outlet configured to be in fluid communication with a mouthpiece; the housing defining a throughbore connecting the inlet and the outlet. The device also includes a receptacle configured to contain an additive and a selector. The selector is movable between an engaged position in which the selector is engaged with the receptacle and a disengaged position in which the selector is disengaged from the receptacle. In the engaged position the selector permits fluid communication between the receptacle and the throughbore and in the disengaged position the selector prevents fluid communication between the receptacle and the throughbore. The selector defines a throughbore, the selector throughbore being aligned with the housing throughbore in the engaged and the disengaged positions.
