Abstract: A hand tool has a pivot connection pivotally attaching a first arm to a second arm, with the pivot connection fixed relative to the first arm and movable to first and second positions relative to the second arm. A spring urges the pivot connection into the first position. When jaws on the front ends of the arms clamp tissue with force greater than a pre-set threshold, the spring force is overcome and the jaws may move linearly apart, allowing for more uniform clamping of the tissue. The first arm may have an arm spring extending between a front segment pivotally attached to a rear segment of the first arm.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer program products for domain aware explainable anomaly and drift detection for multi-variate raw data using a constraint repository are provided herein. A computer-implemented method includes obtaining a set of data and information indicative of a domain of said set of data; obtaining constraints from a domain-indexed constraint repository based on said set of data and said information, wherein the domain-indexed constraint repository comprises a knowledge graph having a plurality of nodes, wherein each node comprises an attribute associated with at least one of a plurality of domains and constraints corresponding to the attribute; detecting anomalies in said set of data based on whether portions of said set of data violate said retrieved constraints; generating an explanation corresponding to each of the anomalies that describe the attributes corresponding to the violated constraints; and outputting an indication of the anomalies and the corresponding explanation.

Abstract: A knitting machine may include a needle bed and a carriage that is movable along the needle bed. The carriage may be configured to engage at least one feeder to move a dispensing area of the feeder along the needle bed while dispensing a yarn, where the carriage includes an interface for providing power to an auxiliary component.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer program products for generating a data partitioning strategy for secure and efficient query processing are provided herein. A computer-implemented method includes obtaining at least (i) a database schema associated with a database and (ii) a query workload associated with the database; and generating, based at least in part on the database schema and the query workload, a distributed database structure for the database that (i) stores a first set of columns of the database within a private cloud environment in a plaintext format and (ii) stores a second set of columns of the database in a public cloud environment, wherein the second set of columns is stored in either a plaintext format or an encrypted format based on whether the second set of columns comprises sensitive data.

Abstract: A survey analysis process is disclosed for extracting and organizing dynamic textual content to use as input to structural equation modeling (SEM) for survey analysis in order to understand how customer experiences driver customer decisions. The survey analysis process applies natural language processing (NLP) to understand customers' open-ended comments and segment customers based on the topics. By doing this, open-ended questions can be handled in SEM. The survey analysis process then builds a structural equation model to evaluate how customers' real feelings affect their loyalty, satisfaction score, etc., which are measured as closed-ended questions in the survey. In this way, the survey analysis process enables SEM to handle customers' actual feelings.
