Publication number: 20170053002Abstract: Systems, methods and computer-readable media are disclosed for generating integrated data records by correlating source data records stored at different registry source data repositories. A set of source data records is retrieved based on execution of one or more search queries against a set of registry source data repositories. A data record matching rule is selected for execution on the set of source data records. The matching rule specifies one or more input properties, each of which specifies at least one data field designator, and optionally, a matching algorithm and an input property match threshold value. The matching rule is executed on pairwise combinations of source data records to obtain a set of matched source data records. An integrated data record is generated and populated with respective data from each of one or more of the matched source data records. The integrated data record is linked to each source record.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 18, 2015Publication date: February 23, 2017Inventors: Mark Edward Bowman, Vikram Gupta, Phillip Andrew Schroder, Gregory David Smelker, Amirali Sunderji

Patent number: 9034454Abstract: An apparatus for filling joints in precast concrete structures includes a core that has exceptionally low creep and conforms to ASTM D 1752 made of controlled particle size composites of recycled cellular rubber and plastic materials in the form of a rectangular slab. Holes are drilled through a central area and countersink recesses are formed around the holes. An outer coating of a thermoplastic polyurethane/polyurea elastomer system of a thickness of 0.075 inch covers the slab and countersink recesses. The coated core is abrasion and UV resistant while having the creep characteristics needed to make a dam expansion joint filler.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2011Date of Patent: May 19, 2015Assignee: Southern Rubber Company, Inc.Inventor: Stephen Edward Bowman

Search query processing to identify related search terms and to correct misspellings of search terms
Patent number: 7840577Abstract: A search engine process predicts the correct spellings of search terms within multiple-term search queries. In one embodiment, when a user submits a multiple-term search query that includes a non-matching term and at least one matching term, a table is accessed to look up a set of terms that are “related” to the matching term or terms. A spelling comparison function is then used to determine whether any of these related terms is sufficiently similar in spelling to the non-matching term to be deemed a candidate correctly-spelled replacement. A candidate replacement term may automatically be substituted for the non-matching term, or may be suggested to the user as a replacement. The invention also includes a process for identifying terms that are related to each other based on the relatively high frequencies with which they co-occur in search queries of users, database records, and/or specific database fields.Type: GrantFiled: January 6, 2006Date of Patent: November 23, 2010Assignee: A9.com, Inc.Inventors: Ruben Ernesto Ortega, Dwayne Edward Bowman -

Patent number: 6896437Abstract: The present invention relates to a panel fence connector (10) for mutually securing two hollow poles of a fence panel in a desired configuration. The connector (10) comprises a first pole-receiving region (12) for receiving a first pole and a second pole-receiving region (16) adapted to be received within a second pole. The first pole-receiving region (12) is moveable between a clamping configuration and a non-clamping configuration and the second pole-receiving region is moveable from a first position to a second position. The pole-receiving regions (12, 14) are arranged such that in use, positioning of the second pole onto the second pole-receiving region (14) causes the second pole-receiving region (14) to move into its second position, which movement causes the first pole-receiving region (12) to move from its non-clamping configuration into its clamping configuration (FIG. 2).Type: GrantFiled: April 11, 2003Date of Patent: May 24, 2005Inventors: John Morgan, Mark Edward Bowman
