Publication number: 20260072976Abstract: A computer-implemented method that includes a programmatically configured annotation processor that may include a processing engine for ingesting using an orchestrated solution that includes a plurality of data objects of one or more data formats. The annotation processor may further identify, using an orchestrated annotation recognition engine, one or more attributes of a data object. The orchestrated annotation recognition engine is configured to determine attribute data from a data object. The data objects are further classified by one or more attributes for associating at least one data object into one or more data sets of annotation data and metadata wherein the annotation data is based on the metadata. The annotation model is generated, based on at least a classified data set of the annotation data and the metadata. The annotation model is configured using the annotation data and metadata wherein the annotation data is created by industry-specific input.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 14, 2025Publication date: March 12, 2026Inventors: Jeff Rambole, Greg Davis, Jun Wen, Timothy John Husarik, Anjie Spreen

Publication number: 20260007552Abstract: A device for use with a bed having a frame and a supporting surface includes a flexible sheet with a tether strap connected to the sheet and extending from the sheet. The flexible sheet has opposed top and bottom surfaces, with the top surface having a high friction material with a higher coefficient of friction as compared to the bottom surface, which includes a low friction material. The tether strap is configured for connection to the frame of the bed to secure the sheet in place. A system incorporating the flexible sheet may also include an absorbent pad configured to be placed on the top surface of the sheet, where the high-friction top surface resists sliding of the absorbent pad, as well as one or more wedges having a base wall that the wedge rests on and a ramp surface configured to confront the sheet when the wedge is placed under the sheet. The base wall and the ramp surface may also contain high friction and low friction materials, respectively.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 9, 2025Publication date: January 8, 2026Applicant: Sage Products, LLCInventors: Larry Ponsi, Paul Fowler, Jeff Steffens, David Beck, Greg Davis

Patent number: 12158765Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for managing task assignments for a fleet of haul trucks at a mine site. An assignment engine may: receive state data for a haul truck including haul weight data and second state data for the mine site that is indicative of a plurality of available tasks and associated task material weight data; assign a task to the haul truck by inputting the state data into a trained reinforcement-learning model, wherein: the model has been trained to learn an assignment policy that optimizes a reward function, such that the learned policy accounts for vehicle performance variance due to changing vehicle haul weight and/or road conditions; and cause the at least one haul truck to be operated according to the at least one task assignment.Type: GrantFiled: February 28, 2022Date of Patent: December 3, 2024Assignee: Caterpillar Inc.Inventors: Stefan Jacob Wulf, Cameron T Lane, Andrew Seungyul Yun, Greg Davis, Thomas Frank Doherty, Darryl Collins

Patent number: 11540629Abstract: An undermount drawer slide mounting clip releasably attaches a drawer to a drawer rail assembly mounted in a cabinet carcass. The apparatus is capable of effecting positional adjustments of the drawer in three directions without removing the drawer from the cabinet carcass. The apparatus is comprised of a body slidingly engaged with a bonnet. A trigger pivotally connected between the body and the bonnet. A spring loaded catch slidable within the bonnet and acted on by the trigger to releasably attach the apparatus to a drawer rail assembly. A threaded spindle rotates within the base and adjusts the horizontal position of the drawer. A ramp adjustably connected to the base adjusts the vertical position of the drawer by rotation of a threaded barrel. A plunger extends from a housing connected to the body to adjacent the drawer rail assembly and adjusts the depth of the drawer.Type: GrantFiled: June 21, 2021Date of Patent: January 3, 2023Assignee: Hardware Resources, Inc.Inventors: Dennis McGregor, Greg Davis
