  • Patent number: 11947614
    Abstract: A computerized method is disclosed including establishing communicative couplings with each of a first data intake and query system instance and a second data intake and query system instance, automating execution of a first search query on the first data intake and query system instance and a second search query on the second data intake and query system instance, and causing rendering of a graphical user interface that consolidates results from each of the first data intake and query system instance and the second data intake and query system instance. Additional operations may include obtaining a result of the first search query while preserving fields within the results of the first and second search queries extracted by the first data intake and query system instance and the second data intake and query system instance, respectively.

  • Patent number: 11918943
    Abstract: A turbine engine having a compressor section, a combustor section, a turbine section, and a rotatable drive shaft that couples a portion of the turbine section and a portion of the compressor section. A bypass conduit couples the compressor section to the turbine section while bypassing at least the combustion section. At least one particle separator is located in the turbine engine having a separator inlet that receives a bypass stream, a separator outlet that receives a reduced-particle stream flows, and a particle outlet that receives a concentrated-particle stream comprising separated particles. A conduit, fluidly coupled to the particle outlet, extends through an interior of at least one stationary vane.

  • Patent number: 11915240
    Abstract: A payment button on a device, such as a mobile phone, allows the user to remain on the window or page from which an item was selected for purchase. When the user is ready to purchases, the button is selected, and the user simply enters an identifier, such as a password or PIN, and the transaction is processed. The button remains on the same screen and changes during different stages of the payment process.

  • Patent number: 10460316
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a transaction is authenticated by a payment provider, as opposed to a merchant, using two user devices without the user having to enter information, such as an email or password. When the user is ready to make a purchase from a merchant site, a unique transaction ID is created by the payment provider. That transaction ID, along with data about the transaction, such as specific items and cost, is automatically sent to the payment provider through a second device linked to the purchasing device. The payment provider compares the identifier from the sending device, such as the phone number, and the transaction ID with information stored in its database. If there is a match, the transaction/user may be approved or authenticated.

  • Publication number: 20190136885
    Abstract: A clip configured for compressive engagement of fabric to pipe or similar elongated members such as those of a scaffold. The clip has a body with opposing sidewalls separated by a gap. The sidewalls are formed of elastic or flexible material which will temporarily deflect to temporally increase the diameter of the gap, to allow passage of the pipe through the gap. The sidewalls thereafter return to the original position wherein interior surfaces of the sidewalls and an axial cavity of the body compressively engage with the pipe and any fabric adjacent thereto to hold the fabric in a compressive sandwiched engagement between the clip and the pipe.

  • Patent number: 9769593
    Abstract: Methods and systems utilize a shake and transfer process to initiate a wireless communication and provide a user device with time and location information of the communication, which can be associated with contact information of a user of the other device. As a result, a user has additional information associated with a contact, and the time and location information can be used to determine or track elapsed time and distance traveled between communications.

  • Patent number: 8928577
    Abstract: A method and system for generating an electronic note on a handheld electronic device. Specifically, the present invention allows a user to push one button on the handheld device to gain access to a cleared screen where ideas, telephone numbers, etc. can be written down directly on the screen in the user's own handwriting in the form of a note. Additionally, the note is automatically time and date stamped. Furthermore, a title associated with the note is displayed concurrently with the note and can be modified using digitized alphanumeric characters. Moreover, the note is automatically stored in the handheld electronic device. Also, an alarm, associated with a particular time and date relative to the electronic device, can be electronically assigned to the note. At the particular time and date associated with the alarm, the alarm is automatically triggered, and the note is automatically displayed on the handheld electronic device.
