  • Patent number: 10960243
    Abstract: A fall arrest device includes a bracket, a rotating member rotatably mounted to the bracket, a safety belt wound around the rotating member, a brake wheel connected to the rotating member, a brake block pivotally connected to the brake wheel, and a restoring spring fitting around the second segment and having one end thereof terminating in a ring that has an inner diameter smaller than an outer diameter of the first segment. Another end of the restoring spring is connected to the brake block. The brake wheel has a fixed rod having a first segment and a second segment. An outer diameter of the first segment is greater than an outer diameter of the second segment. The restoring spring urges the brake block to be located in a restoring position. Thus, the restoring spring could be prevented from falling out of the fixing rod.

  • Patent number: 10373121
    Abstract: A method, system and computer program product for integrating a calendaring system with a mashup page. A mashup server accesses the calendar data inputted by a user to create or edit an entry in a calendar application. The mashup server provides the user access to widgets to be included on a mashup page, where the widgets use the accessed calendar information so that the widgets provide information to the recipients of the calendared event. In this manner, the widgets provide information that normally would be accessible by the participants via links to a myriad of disjoint applications thereby negating the fractured experience of the participants. Upon finalizing the mashup page, the mashup page is saved as a Uniform Resource Location (URL) in the created/edited calendar entry. The mashup page is later transmitted by the mashup server to the recipients of the calendar entry.

  • Patent number: 9619780
    Abstract: A method for improving information exchange in a social network environment. Actions (e.g., copying) being performed on an electronic object (e.g., e-mail) are detected. Furthermore, the entry of the electronic object in a social networking website is detected thereby identifying an association between this electronic object and this social networking website. Rule patterns are identified based on these detected actions and these associations. Indications of these associations are stored in terms of concept nodes in a hierarchical tree using the identified rule patterns. Social networking feeds of interest are then searched using the hierarchical tree as well as a current electronic object of a user (e.g., status message on a social networking feed, e-mail). The user would then be provided an opportunity to repost an information nugget from the current electronic object in one or more of these social networking feeds of interest.
