  • Patent number: 12069010
    Abstract: A system for reporting and investigating threats includes one or more computer processors configured to: present a chatbot via a user interface device; request response data associated with a threat inquiry via the chatbot by requesting freeform response data associated with the threat inquiry via the chatbot and transitioning to intelligent question-path selection to collect additional response data associated with the threat inquiry, wherein the intelligent question-path selection is prompted by the freeform response data; record user input response data; and identify suspicious activity based on the user input response data by performing natural language analysis and searching the user input response data for threat related words or phrases.

  • Publication number: 20240183490
    Abstract: A machine lubrication system includes a bellows-type container filled with lubricant that connects to a support base of a pump of the lubrication system. The container includes a neck extending from a convex bottom surface of the container. The support base includes a concave mounting surface and a passageway in communication with an inlet of the pump. The neck sealingly attaches the container to the passageway with the bottom surface of the container on the mounting surface the support base.

  • Patent number: 11781681
    Abstract: A containment sleeve for use with a pressurized piping system including a pliable fabric sheet having first and second opposing longitudinal edges, first and second opposing transverse edges, and first and second opposing major surfaces respectively defining an interior and exterior surfaces. At least one pleat extends between the first and second transverse edges, the pleat being in a normally closed position to define the interior surface with a first surface area. The sheet of pliable fabric to secure about a portion of a pressurized piping system with the interior major surface facing the pipe so as to form a sleeve having an initial interior volume there about. In response to a rupture of the pressurized piping system within the interior volume, the pleat to expand to an open position to expand the interior surface to a second surface area to increase the interior volume from the initial volume.

  • Patent number: 11313493
    Abstract: On example provides a containment sleeve for a pressurized piping system including a main body comprising a pliable fabric extending in longitudinal and transverse directions. The main body includes an exterior major surface and an opposing interior major surface, first and second opposed transverse edges, first and second opposed longitudinal edges, and a number of pleats extending from the interior major surface, each pleat having opposing sides of the longitudinal pleat being sewn together with breakaway stitching at a base of the pleat at the interior major surface. A number of transversely extending straps disposed on the exterior major surface between the first and second longitudinal edges, the straps to secure the main body about a portion of the piping system with the interior major surface facing the piping system.

  • Publication number: 20080104804
    Abstract: A reusable hose bundling sleeve is provided that is made of a tightly-woven nylon material coated with urethane. Strips of hooks and loops are adhered and stitched to opposite ends of opposite sides of the sleeve. The reusable hose is installed by wrapping the sleeve around the hoses or cables to be protected such that the strips of hooks and loops align and engage. Notches can be cut along the length of the reusable hose bundling sleeve to allow for shorter hoses or cables traveling within the sleeve to exit. Because of the materials used, the notches will not weaken the fibers and cause fraying. The reusable hose bundling sleeve is removed by separating the strips of hooks and loops and unwrapping the sleeve. The reusable hose bundling sleeve can be installed, removed, and reinstalled quickly and without diminishing the durability of the sleeve. Alternatively, the sleeve may be adapted to be secured and/or hanged.
