Patent number: 10963303Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to enabling independent storage and processing of data with centralized event control. An event control computing platform may receive an indicator of a processing task associated with processing a dataset. Subsequently, the event control computing platform may authenticate the indicator of the processing task. Then the event control computing platform may identify and allocate resources for executing the processing task and storing the dataset. Finally, the event control computing platform may generate and transmit a series of commands to cause the dataset to be accessed by the processing platform, cause the processing task associated with the dataset to be executed, and cause the processed dataset to be stored on the storage platform.Type: GrantFiled: August 23, 2019Date of Patent: March 30, 2021Assignee: Bank of America CorporationInventors: Jerome M.

Patent number: 9902032Abstract: A pin clamp for clamping a workpiece includes a housing having a longitudinal axis and a locating pin extending through the housing. The locating pin is sized to be positioned within an opening of the workpiece. A finger is positioned adjacent to the locating pin and movable in a transverse direction relative to the longitudinal axis to retain the workpiece on the locating pin. An exterior driving linkage is configured to move the locating pin in opposite directions along the longitudinal axis. A locking arrangement is carried by the housing. A sequence cam is connected with the exterior driving linkage thereby allowing axial movement of the exterior driving linkage to be converted into transverse movement of the sequence cam. The sequence cam includes an engagement surface which engages the locking arrangement to lock the locating pin and the finger against the workpiece upon retraction of the exterior driving linkage.Type: GrantFiled: September 18, 2015Date of Patent: February 27, 2018Assignee: PHD, Inc.Inventors: Bruce D. McIntosh, Paul J. Nicholson

Publication number: 20170091256Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer-readable media for determining expiration of a retention period for a document or record and deleting records or documents are provided. In some examples, a record code may be assigned to a record. The record code may indicate a retention period for the record and may be used to determine whether the retention period has expired. If so, a determination may be made as to whether the document is eligible for deletion. If so, the record may be automatically deleted in at least some examples. If not, the record may be further processed.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 29, 2015Publication date: March 30, 2017Inventors: Candace Gordon, Katherine E. Brown, Frank A. Luther, Aruna V.

Patent number: 9364023Abstract: The present invention is a tobacco smoking holder for smoking a cigarette and filtering the tobacco byproducts from the air before emitting the clear air from the holder. The holder enables a user to mount the cigarette within the holder, light the cigarette while in the holder, smoke the cigarette while in the holder isolating the combustion byproducts through a motorized filtering assembly housed within a housing, which removes the cigarette's byproducts from the air before exhausting the air, thereby protecting others from secondary smoke and other products produced during smoking. When finished smoking, the cigarette is then extinguished while in the housing by an extinguishing canister that encompasses the lit end of the cigarette.Type: GrantFiled: March 13, 2012Date of Patent: June 14, 2016Inventor: Darrin J. Nicholson
