  • Patent number: 12360946
    Abstract: A system and method for extracting full text from source files of any size in such a manner that all text can be rapidly and accurately searched via search engine while maintaining satisfactory system performance. A software tool that integrates with file shares or an enterprise content management system with the ability to merge and serialize the results of the extracted text via surrogate index files. The software tool is configured to handle text from large files in order to extract, store and access the file such that all of the text is searchable, regardless of the size of the original document in a reasonable amount of time. The Analytics Engine will omit this field during search and handle this field separately from other fields.

  • Publication number: 20250086299
    Abstract: A system and method of an in-place content management system that allows an organization to bring the power of an enterprise content management (ECM) system (supporting such features as check-out, check-in, security, audit, add, rename, move, delete, classification, legal holds and disposition) to the data where it resides on an NTFS file system, eliminating the need to move it somewhere else and without having to change the way end-users work. A utility or tool for content management that leverages the existing security that is already in place on files and folders and adds basic content management features such as check-out/check-in (preventing multiple users from editing the same document at the same time), audit history, and the ability to add classifications, trigger dispositions, and apply legal holds on documents where they currently reside.

  • Publication number: 20250053401
    Abstract: Embodiments provide a web-based editing tool that intelligently leverages certain functionality of a browser, web client, desktop client, and native software at the client side to provide seamless user experience when editing a file over a network. Responsive to a user selecting a file for editing, the web client may send a passive content request to a web server embedded in the desktop client at a specific address on the client device. If no response, the web client prompts the user to start or install the desktop client on the client device. If a response is received, the web client sends a request to the desktop client with a user identifier and authorization to download the file from a server. The desktop client downloads the file, opens it in the native software, monitors the file being edited, and updates a delta associated with the file to the server.

  • Patent number: 12141213
    Abstract: A system and method of updating Content Server metadata on order to update and re-organize documents in a content management system (i.e., Content Server). A content management system includes a tool for setting Content Server metadata attributes, based in values in the index. Content Server Category Attributes can be set, as can Content Server Classification values, as can Content Server RM Classification values.

  • Publication number: 20240308049
    Abstract: A work apparatus has a tool, which can be driven in a rotating manner around a rotational axis. The work apparatus has a protective hood extending over at least a part of the periphery of the tool. The protective hood is attached to a housing part of the work apparatus. At least two rotation locks for the protective hood are arranged in different angular positions around the rotational axis. Each rotation lock is formed by virtue of the fact that one of the components of the protective hood and the housing part has a protruding section cooperating with a section of the other component of the protective hood and the housing part and securing the protective hood on the housing part in a positive-locking manner against rotation around the rotational axis, so that the protective hood is prevented from moving with respect to the housing part around the rotational axis.

  • Publication number: 20240232420
    Abstract: A system and method of dynamic search result permission checking. A system that provides end users the ability to search an index (i.e., Shinydocs Index) built from content from one or multiple source repositories, and only display results for which the user has sufficient permissions at source to view. User credentials are validated “on the fly”, such that these checks are performant across a multiple of possible back-end repositories sequentially or simultaneously. The resultant search results from the Index may be sourced from many disparate repositories, each of which have their own unique permission structure (to view individual items). A method for handling permissions in multiple repositories in a secure (yet performant) fashion in order to only display search results that the end-user is allowed to view based on source system permissions.

  • Publication number: 20240095288
    Abstract: A system and method of improved performant content source crawling. A content source crawling technology that is performant and focused on an initial rapid crawling of a content source to find specific file signatures so that it can determine an inventory of files that have been modified since the last full index event, thereby minimizing the time and computing resources necessary to perform a full crawl on just the select files to update to the search index. A method of Signature Flagging is disclosed and is used to selectively crawl the metadata about contained files and folders found within a content source in order to create that information in an Index within the Shinydocs Search Library.

  • Patent number: 11795961
    Abstract: The disclosure concerns a fan wheel, including a base body with a rotational axis, and a swing part. The base body is made of a first material and the swing part is made of a second material. The density of the second material and the density of the first material are different. The swing part has a surface. The swing part is at least partially surrounded by the base body, so that the base body covers at least 80%, in particular at least 90%, preferably at least 95% of the surface of the swing part. The first material has a first thermal expansion coefficient, and the second material has a second thermal expansion coefficient. The second thermal expansion coefficient amounts to 70% to 110%, in particular 80% to 100%, preferably 85% to 95% of the first thermal expansion coefficient, and/or the swing part is substantially annular and runs fully closed around the rotational axis.
