  • Publication number: 20250021586
    Abstract: A method for learning potential correlation of data structures and fields across multiple disparate data sources. The method automatically identifies relationships that exist in multiple data sources to facilitate a data broker that can return the “shortest-path-to-data”. The method includes communicating with a data lake that integrates access to data stored in a plurality of different data sources. The method next includes correlating, via the data lake, data fields in data sets across the plurality of different data sources to identify relationships across the plurality of different data sources. A request to access data is obtained, and the method determines that data for the request is stored in two or more data sources of the plurality of different data sources, selects a particular data source of the two or more data sources and retrieves the data for the request from the particular data source.

  • Patent number: 10955225
    Abstract: A projectile target 10 comprises a support structure 20 adapted to support two or more targets 30. The targets 30 are ideally off the ground 12, that is spaced from the ground 12. Each target 30 is, in turn, supported by an arm 32 extending from a common hinge 34. Each pair of targets 30 includes a first main target 30a and a second target 30b. In a first position 38a, the first target 30a presents a first broad target surface 36a to an operator or shooter (not shown). The second target 30b is displaced so that it does not present a viable target to the operator. However, the second target 30b is adapted to move into a second, viable, target position 38b when the first target 30a is struck substantially on its broad target surface 36a by a projectile, such as a .22 calibre bullet.

  • Patent number: 7793600
    Abstract: This security door construction is applicable to safes, factory doors and house doors. An offset hinge assembly allows the door to swing open and closed and also to slide in and out of a door slot in the door frame at the closing edge of the door. In the construction of a safe, hooks on the inside of the door enter slots in upstands inside the safe and engage and disengage through the sliding motion. One pair of hinges is fixed to the frame and the second pair of hinges is fixed to the door. The frame and door pairs are connected by a rod or tube which ensures that the hinge axis of the door pair remains parallel to the hinge axis of the frame pair. A handwheel is mounted on the door which turns a crank between stops and a link reacts against the rod causing the door to slide easily to LEFT or RIGHT. A spring overcomes resistance to initial movement.

  • Publication number: 20100031857
    Abstract: In safes and security doors of the swing and slide type the door edge slides in and out of a slot in order to prevent it being pried open. The slide motion is supplied by a rotatable handle on the door itself. The action of sliding into the slot is accompanied by the extension of multiple bolts which shoot from the door edge into keepers in the safe body or door frame. The rotation of the handle is coupled to a cam which retracts the bolts first and slides the door to the position where it is ready to open in a defined sequence. Likewise, the door swings shut, contacts a landing surface, slides into the slot and the bolts extend. A variant for a door with slots which rides on a group of pins is described. The cam is locked by a key or digital lock.
