Abstract: A computer-implemented method is provided of finding one or more data items that match one or more defined criteria in a dataset. The method comprises identifying data snippets of the dataset using a set of one or more attention rules; categorizing the identified data snippets using fuzzy matching by assigning them to buckets such that each bucket contains data snippets that are similar to another according to a similarity measure; classifying buckets containing data snippets having more than a threshold number of the true positive data items as true positive buckets and remaining buckets as false positive buckets; calculating culling rules based on the true positive buckets and the false positive buckets, and using the culling rules to remove the false positive data items from the true positive buckets.

Abstract: A log wall panel is placed into a drying kiln in an upright orientation, with the log wall panel extending along an upright direction when in the upright orientation. The log wall panel is compressed by at least applying a downward force to the log wall panel along the upright direction while the log wall panel is in the drying kiln. The log wall panel is dried while the log wall panel is being compressed by the downward force.

Abstract: A plurality of wood logs are arranged to form a vertical stack of horizontally extending logs, each wood log including a plurality of apertures that form a plurality of vertically aligned apertures in the vertical stack when aligned. The plurality of connector assemblies connect the plurality of wood logs together in the vertical stack. Each connector assembly of the plurality of connector assemblies extends through a corresponding one of the plurality of vertically aligned apertures.

Abstract: Gauge wheels control the depth at which seeds are placed during planting operations. Planter gauge wheels are mounted on gauge wheel arms which become dusted with soil during normal operation. An improved gauge wheel arm described herein includes first and second hubs extending from either end of a shaft. Each hub forms a cylindrical body between first and second faces. The first hub has a central channel through the cylindrical body, and a bearing is press-fit within the central channel. A retaining ring is fitted over the bearing, within an interior groove formed proximate the first face of the central channel, to retain the bearing within the central channel. The improved gauge wheel arm described herein reduces build-up of dirt and frictional wear, thus increasing both the life span of the arm and its associated parts, and decreasing time spent greasing and adjusting gauge wheel arms.

Abstract: A rescue hoist is comprised of a receiver tube attached to a mounting bracket. The receiver tube is for attaching to a tow hitch on a motor vehicle. A motor is attached to a gear head. A flange on the gear head is attached to the mounting bracket. A capstan is attached to an output shaft of the gear head. A rotatable plate is attached to the mounting bracket, and is freely rotatable relative to the mounting bracket about an axis of the capstan. A lead block with rollers is attached to the rotatable plate. A rope is wound around the capstan. A control portion of the rope is gripped by an operator, and a load portion is positioned through the lead block between the rollers and attached to a load. The rotatable plate is automatically rotated to align the lead block with the direction of the load portion.

Abstract: The Tahoe Rescue Tool is a precision lifting hoist that can be used to lift and lower people and equipment with precision and safety not available with other existing designs. The Tahoe Rescue Tool combines a motorized capstan winch with an integral swivel base plate that incorporates guide rollers.
