Abstract: Disclosed herein is a data science platform that is built with a specific focus on monitoring and analyzing the operation of industrial assets, such as trucking assets, rail assets, construction assets, mining assets, wind assets, thermal assets, oil-and-gas assets, and manufacturing assets, among other possibilities. The disclosed data science platform is configured to carry out operations including (i) ingesting asset-related data from various different data sources and storing it for downstream use, (ii) transforming the ingested asset-related data into a desired formatting structure and then storing it for downstream use, (iii) evaluating the asset-related data to derive insights about an asset's operation that may be of interest to a platform user, which may involve data science models that have been specifically designed to analyze asset-related data in order to gain a deeper understanding of an asset's operation, and (iv) presenting derived insights and other asset-related data to platform users.

Abstract: A grout plug assembly for use in forming a pipe pile system defining at least one pile assembly inner surface portion comprises a resiliently deformable plug body defining a plug outer surface, a plug inner surface, a first plug end surface, a second plug end surface. The plug inner surface defines a plug passageway. The plug outer surface is sized and dimensioned to engage the at least one pile assembly inner surface portion of the pipe pile system during formation of the pipe pile system.

Abstract: A grout plug assembly for use in forming a pipe pile system defining at least one pile assembly inner surface portion comprises a resiliently deformable plug body and a substantially rigid plug cap. The resiliently deformable plug body defining a plug outer surface, a plug inner surface, a first plug end surface, a second plug end surface, where the plug inner surface defines a plug passageway. The substantially rigid plug cap defines a cap outer surface, a cap inner surface, a first cap end surface, and a second cap end surface. The second cap end surface is rigidly secured to the first plug end surface. The plug outer surface is sized and dimensioned to engage the at least one pile assembly inner surface portion of the pipe pile system during formation of the pipe pile system.

Abstract: The invention relates to a computer-implemented system and method for providing data services to a user via a best fit data matching application programming interface (API). The method may comprise exposing to the user, via the API, data services that are available electronically to the user. The data services are invoked with a query comprising a set of parameters. An automated query processing service is used to automatically analyze the parameters and match the parameters to a best electronic data source among a plurality of electronic data sources using a metadata store. The step of matching the parameters to the best electronic data source is based on a data quality metric, a date range and user permissions. The retrieved dataset, which is automatically presented to the user electronically via the API, can also be customized to include client-specific data elements.

Abstract: A dog litter glove or mitten for collecting dog litter comprising: a hand section; a closure mechanism at an open end of the glove; and an elongated midsection, where said midsection extends down from the hand section and abuts a cuff section, where said cuff section includes a width greater than the width of the midsection. The closure mechanism may include at least one of a zip lock seal and a twist tie. The cuff of the dog litter glove may be rolled up to turn the glove inside out to create a sealed flexible container for the dog litter disposable.

Abstract: A flexible strap system for securing a load to an elongate support having a mounting bracket with a mount which pivotally secures to an underside of the support. A flexible, inelastic strap connects to the bracket through a pair of strap attachments, with the strap attachments and the mount having a non-colinear orientation on the mounting bracket. A plurality of teeth on the strap engage a ratchet mechanism for tightening the strap around the load. The bracket is rotatable between a first position with the strap generally parallel to the longitudinal axis of the support member and a second position with the strap generally perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the support member, allowing the strap system to secure loads which are perpendicular or parallel, respectively, to the support.
