  • Patent number: 9770736
    Abstract: A dosing dispenser for dispensing a material comprising a housing, a container moveably arranged in the housing and including the material, a pump unit, and an applicator for material output. The housing includes an actuation member which facilitates moving the container in the housing relative to the pump unit, so that the pump unit is activatable by the container for suctioning and dispensing the material. The actuation member is formed by an opening in the housing for manual access to the container in order to move the container in a linear manner. Alternatively, the actuation member is configured as a slider element which is inserted into an opening of the housing and coupled with the container, wherein the slider element is translatorically moveable in the opening so that the container is moveable back and forth by the sliding movement of the slider element in order to activate the pump unit.

  • Patent number: 9529901
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and other embodiments associated with linguistic tags for documents are described. In one embodiment, a method includes receiving a document. The example method includes applying a language tag value to a language tag of the document and applying a locale tag value to a locale tag of the document. The language tag and the locale tag are assigned positions in a hierarchy of linguistic tags such that the language tag inherits from the locale tag. The example method may also include storing the document, the language tag value, and the locale tag value in a memory.

  • Publication number: 20160342589
    Abstract: A method of classifying individual documents in a document collection according to a hierarchy may include selecting an object from the hierarchy, generating one or more variants for the object, and for each of the one or more variants, determining a frequency threshold based at least in part on how frequently the one or more variants occurs in the document collection. The method may also include selecting a first document in the document collection, where the first document includes one or more objects that match at least one of the one or more variants. The method may additionally include determining that the number of the one or more objects exceeds the frequency threshold and classifying the first document with the object in the hierarchy.

  • Patent number: 9193579
    Abstract: A dispenser provides measured doses of at least two components using a common pump. Each of the components is stored in its own separate container; each of which is connected to the common piston pump through an inlet valve. A metering device is disposed between the inlet valves and the pump chambers. The metering device is rotatable around an axis and controls the volume of each component disposed by either changing to flow rate of the component through its inlet valve or by changing the stroke length of the piston associated with its inlet valve.
