  • Patent number: 10904599
    Abstract: This disclosure relates to methods, non-transitory computer readable media, and systems that determine multiple personas corresponding to a user account for digital content and train a persona classifier to predict a given persona (from among the multiple personas) for content requests associated with the user account. By using the persona classifier, the disclosed methods, non-transitory computer readable media, and systems accurately detect a given persona for a content request upon initiation of the request. Based on determining the given persona, in some implementations, the methods, non-transitory computer readable media, and systems generate a digital-content recommendation for presentation on a client device associated with the user account.

  • Patent number: 10259357
    Abstract: A passenger seat is described for use with a vehicle seat and includes, a base, an attachment assembly, a restraint assembly, and a non-rigid back. The base includes a central front opening. The attachment assembly includes a plurality of straps, which are configured to adjustably secure the base to the vehicle seat. The restraint assembly includes a shoulder strap assembly, a crotch strap assembly, and an adjustment strap. The adjustment strap is in communication with the shoulder strap assembly, extending from the shoulder strap assembly through the base and out of the central front opening of the base. The adjustment strap assembly is configured to adjust the shoulder strap assembly in response to translation of the adjustment strap through the central front opening of the base. The back encompasses at least a portion of the restraint assembly and the attachment assembly.

  • Publication number: 20190041001
    Abstract: A secondary light curtain for preventing injury to an operator of a press brake during formation of a second flange on a workpiece and a method for using the same. The secondary light curtain detects intrusion by the operator into a crush zone, i.e. the area, between the ram and the leading edge of a prior formed flange. In order to provide for ready adjustment of the height of the secondary light curtain, a mounting bracket having a longitudinal mounting slot, and a cooperating secondary angle bracket are provided. The mounting bracket of the present invention allows the secondary light curtain light assemblies to be mounted directly on the front or side of the ram.
