  • Publication number: 20250230934
    Abstract: An appliance (20) includes a housing (24), a plurality of walls (28), a cavity (32), an access aperture (36), a closure panel (40), a forced-air assembly (44), and a thermal element (48). The walls (28) are positioned within the housing (24). The walls (28) include a first side wall (52), a second side wall (56), a top wall (60), a bottom wall (64), and a rear wall (68). At least one of the walls (28) defines a series of apertures (72) therein. The cavity (32) is defined by the walls (28). The access aperture (36) is positioned opposite the rear wall (68). The closure panel (40) is coupled to a front of the housing (76). The closure panel (40) is movable between an open position and a closed position. The closure panel (40) is configured to cover the access aperture (36) when the closure panel (40) is in the closed position. The forced-air assembly (44) is configured to induce airflow within the cavity (32).

  • Patent number: 12223015
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes receiving a document insight request that requests document insights for a corpus of documents. The document insight request includes the corpus of documents, a set of entities contained within each document of the corpus of documents, and document insight request parameters that includes a confidence value threshold. The method also includes generating the document insights for the corpus of documents based on the confidence value threshold. Here, the document insights include an accuracy target and a user review rate target. The method also includes transmitting the document insights to the user device causing a graphical user interface to display the document insights on the user device.

  • Patent number: 10356086
    Abstract: The present invention provides methods and apparatuses that utilize a portable apparatus to securely operate a host electronic device. Typically, each portable apparatus includes a data storage unit which stores an operating system and other software. In one example, a portable apparatus can provide a virtual operating environment on top of a host's operating system for a host device. In another example, a portable apparatus containing its operating system can directly boot a host device with one or more hardware profiles. Furthermore, a device-dependent protection against software piracy, a user-dependent protection against sensitive data leaks, a controllable host operating environment to prevent unwanted information exposure, and a secure restoration procedure to prevent virus infection between the host device users may be incorporated. Moreover, a pre-defined information may also be utilized to authorize a connected-state guest operation environment in the host device.

  • Publication number: 20050193188
    Abstract: The present invention provides methods and apparatus that utilize a portable apparatus to operate a host computer. The portable apparatus including an operating system and a list of software applications is installed in a removable data storage medium. The basic input/output system (BIOS) of the host computer will directly or indirectly identify the portable apparatus as its boot drive. The host computer will further load the operating system in the portable apparatus into its random access semiconductor memory (RAM). A hardware profile is stored in the host computer, which contains information about the host computer and its peripheral devices. During the loading, the operating system will incorporate information in the hardware profile in order to fully operate the host computer and the hardware devices defined in the profile.
