Patent number: 11834817Abstract: The present invention relates generally to the field of sinks. More specifically, the present invention relates to an inflatable sink device that is comprised of a body, further primarily comprised of a top tank, a bottom tank, a sink basin, an air pump, a battery, a water pump, and a faucet. The body further preferably resembles a bathroom vanity and is flexible or semi-flexible such that it can inflate with air to be used, or deflate for easier transportation and storage. The device also provides clean running water to be used for washing in a sink basin and a bottom tank that collects the resultant dirty water after use. In this manner, the device can be used in any place such that even without a traditional bathroom sink available, washing can still be accomplished within a stream of running water out of a faucet.Type: GrantFiled: March 17, 2022Date of Patent: December 5, 2023Inventor: Bruce Brown

Publication number: 20230267395Abstract: Illustrative embodiments process large amounts of unstructured data by producing, from the unstructured data, a plurality of work items. Each work item includes an item of unstructured data, and corresponding work item metadata. Each work item may be claimed by a corresponding consumer node. In illustrative embodiments, a consumer node claims a work item only when the work item is compatible with the consumer node. The consumer node then processes the claimed work item by performing a specified task on the item of unstructured data associated with the work item.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 24, 2023Publication date: August 24, 2023Inventors: Daniel Berry, Bruce Brown, Frank Marrone
