Patent number: 12242545Abstract: A document management system can include an artificial intelligence-based document manager that can perform one or more predictive operations based on characteristics of a user, a document, a user account, or historical document activity. For instance, the document management system can apply a machine-learning model to determine how long an expiring agreement document is likely to take to renegotiate and can prompt a user to begin the renegotiation process in advance. The document management system can detect a change to language in a particular clause type and can prompt a user to update other documents that include the clause type to include the change. The document management system can determine a type of a document being worked on and can identify one or more actions that a corresponding user may want to take using a machine-learning model trained on similar documents and similar users.Type: GrantFiled: September 8, 2023Date of Patent: March 4, 2025Assignee: Docusign, Inc.Inventors: Christina Silva Hamlin, Eric M.

Publication number: 20250067373Abstract: The present invention is directed to methods for constructing a flange on a pipe using an additive manufacturing process, such as directed energy deposition, powder bed fusion, friction-stir, or diode laser cladding. The flange can be constructed on a pipe comprising an oxide dispersion strengthen or nickel-based alloys, in particular a precipitation strengthened nickel-based alloy, such that the pipe maintains its inherent mechanical and metallurgical properties, including hardness, tensile strength, yield strength, fracture toughness, creep strength, fatigue, which would otherwise be reduced based upon typical welding of a flange to the end of the pipe. The flange can be constructed around the exterior of a pipe at the end of the pipe to allow use of the flange in connecting the pipe via bolting to other piping components, such as another pipe with a corresponding flange, a valve flange, a pump flange, or any other type of flange.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 6, 2023Publication date: February 27, 2025Inventors: David Wayne Gandy, Mark Albert
