  • Patent number: 11790466
    Abstract: Provided herein are media, systems, and methods that identify the address of a rental property from public sources (e.g., rental listings, maps, and county property records). A data mining task process may be performed, by each of a plurality of first data ingestion interfaces to a unique external property data source, to determine at least one property record depiction, each property record depiction associated with a property record. A first machine learning algorithm may be applied to the at least one rental property depiction and the at least one property record depiction from each data source to identify one or more common property records, wherein each common property record comprises a property record that refers to the rental property. A data mining task process may be performed, by a second data ingestion interface to the one or more common property records to determine the street address of the rental property.

  • Patent number: 11499536
    Abstract: A magnetically coupled piston pump includes a piston, a pump body, and a set of drive magnets. The piston includes a set of piston magnets. Each piston magnet has poles arranged along a longitudinal axis of the piston, and each piston magnet is arranged in the piston so that the orientation of the poles of each piston magnet is the opposite of the orientation of each adjacent piston magnet. The piston is disposed in and permitted to move within the pump body. The set of drive magnets is arranged outside the pump body. Each drive magnet corresponds to a piston magnet, has poles arranged along the longitudinal axis, and is arranged so that the orientation of the poles is opposite the orientation of the poles of the corresponding piston magnet. A drive unit is coupled to the drive magnets for moving the drive magnets along the longitudinal axis.
