  • Patent number: 11790170
    Abstract: A computer-implemented, machine learning-based method of converting an unstructured technical report into a structured technical report includes obtaining an unstructured technical report, tokenizing the unstructured technical report into an n-gram array, identifying and filtering non-interesting n-grams from the first n-gram array based on common language usage of the non-interesting n-grams and a determination that the non-interesting n-grams do not appear on a confirmed technical entity database, generating and displaying a technical entity candidate list from the filtered n-gram array, displaying, obtaining, from a pattern matching model and/or a graphical user interface, an indication that a technical entity candidate is a technical entity of interest, appending the technical entity of interest to the confirmed technical entity database, generating and displaying a structured technical report with the confirmed technical entities and corresponding technical entity value parameters, and iterating the proc

  • Publication number: 20230056422
    Abstract: A method including: storing, by a computing device, obfuscated metadata from a plurality of interconnected computing environments into respective data puddles; identifying, by the computing device, a behavior of a first computing environment of the plurality of interconnected computing environments; determining, by the computing device, an expected future performance issue associated with a second computing environment of the plurality of interconnected computing environments based on the identified behavior of the first computing environment; identifying, by the computing device, a locus of the expected future performance issue associated with the second computing environment based on the identified behavior of the first computing environment; and outputting, by the computing device and to an operator of the second computing environment, an impact notification and remedial steps being taken to prevent the expected future performance issue.

  • Publication number: 20210316582
    Abstract: A lifting device includes a base assembly, a hitch assembly coupled to the base assembly, a lift assembly movably coupled to the base assembly, and a trailer attachment assembly coupled to the lift assembly. The hitch attachment assembly is configured to connect to a hitch of a vehicle, and the trailer attachment assembly is configured to connect to a trailer. The base assembly includes a base frame and at least one guide extending upward from the base frame. The lift assembly includes a jack and at least one sleeve coupled to the jack. The sleeve of the lift assembly is in slidable engagement with the guide of the base assembly. Actuation of the jack is configured to raise or lower the lift assembly and the trailer attachment assembly relative to the base assembly and the hitch attachment assembly.

  • Publication number: 20210176996
    Abstract: We have created a novel formulation to serve as a sanitizing, disinfectant or cleanser, excluding traditional synthetic chemicals historically addressing this role. The product is all-natural, GRAS certified ingredients that is safe, non-toxic and can be inhaled, ingested, applied topically to the animal body and of course, to all other surfaces we have defined herein. Thereby safe for water bowls, water and feed troughs, and water line flushing and disinfecting/sanitizing or cleaning.

  • Publication number: 20210052689
    Abstract: An anti-microbial formulation of native ingredients for human and non-human vertebrate animal feeds, feed supplements/additives, or for direct doses to replace in whole or supplement traditional anti-microbial with side-effects such as allergies, microbial-resistance, and drug-interactions with non-toxic, side-effect free native anti-microbial for all vertebrates. The invention comprises of non-toxic, side-effect free native substances amalgamations having anti-microbial properties for food additives, food supplements, or direct doses. Furthermore, these native formulas can be use with or without other prescription or nonprescription anti-microbial medications. We describe the method of manufacture and also the process of use for this amalgamates.

  • Patent number: 10346759
    Abstract: Automatically create abstractions of large sets of data and then probabilistic inferences based on the abstractions. The probabilistic inference is derived from the logical hierarchy using Bayesian statistics to infer a probabilistic event based upon a characteristic of the data in a hierarchy of synthetic events. The logical hierarchy of a set of a plurality of synthetic events is related by at least one characteristic of data is built by accessing a first set of data. The first set of data is organized based on a first characteristic. A second set of data different than the first set of data is accessed. A second set of data based is organized based on a second characteristic. The first characteristic and the second characteristic are processed to generate a synthetic event. The synthetic event is a third set of data representing a result of a mathematical computation defined by an operation S(p1)==>F(p2).

  • Patent number: 9920613
    Abstract: A method (50) and an assembly (10) for milling an obstruction disposed within a wellbore (W) includes a milling module (12) having a motor (22) rotating a milling bit (14), a first electronics cartridge (26) for controlling the motor based upon a motor torque value, a tractor module (16, 18) for engaging with the wellbore and providing a push force against the wellbore to urge the milling assembly in a direction of the milling bit, and a second electronics cartridge (28) for controlling a push force value of tractor module. The method involves rotating the milling bit (54) and engaging the tractor module with the wellbore (56), and adjusting, iteratively, the operation (58) based on a calculated torque value and a calculated push force value to maintain the calculated values at around a target torque value and below a push force limit value (66, 70).

  • Patent number: 8870633
    Abstract: A cryogen-blanching technique involves brief exposure of an oyster shell to a cryogen. The cryo-blanching weakens the oyster's muscles that close the bivalve tightly shut, but preserves the natural condition of the bulk of the oyster meat. The weakening of the oyster's holding muscles allows shucking the oyster meat in its fresh or natural state without damage or shell fragments.
