Patent number: 11750552Abstract: Systems and methods for automated evaluation system routing are described herein. The system can include a memory, which can include a model database and a correlation database. The system can include a first user device and a second user device. The system can include at least one server. The at least one server can: receive a response communication from the user device; generate an initial evaluation value according to an AI model; determine a correlation between the initial evaluation value and evaluation range data; accept the initial evaluation value when the correlation exceeds a threshold value; and route the response communication to the second user device for generation of an elevated evaluation value when the correlation does not exceed the threshold value.Type: GrantFiled: June 21, 2017Date of Patent: September 5, 2023Assignee: PEARSON EDUCATION, INC.Inventors: Kyle Habermehl, Karen Lochbaum, Robert Sanders, Walter Denny Way, Ryan Calme

Patent number: 9897421Abstract: An enhanced linear shaped charge (X-Jet) includes a sheath and a spinal charge element. The sheath extends along an axis between a first end and a second end to define a sheath length. The sheath has a first hollowed chevron-shaped cross-section that defines a main charge cavity, an upper apex, and a lower apex. The spinal charge element is disposed within the main charge cavity and abuts the upper apex. The spinal charge element further includes a spinal casing that extends along the sheath length to define a spinal length. The spinal casing has a hollowed cross-section defining a spinal charge cavity.Type: GrantFiled: March 30, 2017Date of Patent: February 20, 2018Assignee: GOODRICH CORPORATIONInventors: Steven McDonald, Dennis Way

Patent number: 9278442Abstract: A hydraulic accumulator includes an accumulator housing defining a gas reservoir and a liquid volume. A flexible membrane is positioned within the accumulator housing and separates the gas reservoir and the liquid volume. A flow control screen defines a wall of the accumulator housing, has a screen thickness, and includes an exterior face opposing a membrane engagement face. A first slot is formed through the exterior face and has a first slot depth that is less than the screen thickness. A second slot is formed through the membrane engagement face and has a second slot depth that is less than the screen thickness. The first slot and the second slot intersect to fluidly connect an exterior of the accumulator housing with the liquid volume.Type: GrantFiled: July 17, 2012Date of Patent: March 8, 2016Assignee: Caterpillar Inc.Inventors: Dennis Wai Man Tang, Lauritz Pillers
