  • Patent number: 12613867
    Abstract: Disclosed is a search system and associated methods for proactively searching disparate data sources in order to track in real-time the continuously changing attributes that are searchable and to generate personalized search results for different users based on machine-generated queries of relevant searchable attributes to each user without user-defined queries or user-initiated searches. The search system continuously searches the data sources for changes to a first set of searchable attributes with relevance to a first user and to a second set of searchable attributes to a second user. The search system generates and performs a first customized query of the first set of attributes identified with the changes and a second customized query of the second set of attributes identified with the changes, and provides the personalized search results from each query to the respective user in response to detecting that respective user accessing the search system.

  • Patent number: 9107351
    Abstract: Disclosed are shears are used for trimming bushes, trees, and brush. The loppers have the cutting blade which performs the cutting action and a counter edge for the cutting blade to work in conjunction. These loppers also have the addition of clamping jaws which will hold the severed limb. A user amputates a tree limb and the severed or orphaned limb falls helplessly to the ground, but these loppers clamp onto that limb when the cutting operation is performed. After the cut is made, the user can move the limb to a specific location, then decompresses the loppers and drop the limb as intended.
