  • Patent number: 12001424
    Abstract: An analytics system can include a display on which a plurality of images are shown, and an analytics application communicably coupled to the display. The analytics application can receive a question and hypotheses from a user using the display. The analytics application can also generate queries using a natural language module, and send the queries to a plurality of data sources. The analytics application can further receive data from the data sources in response to the queries, and evaluate the data to generate evaluated data. The analytics application can also present the evaluated data, and receive a selection of at least one data item of the evaluated data. The analytics application can further convert the at least one data item into evidence, receive a selection of the evidence applied to a hypothesis, and evaluate the hypothesis. The analytics application can also present an assessment that the hypothesis answers the question.

  • Patent number: 5216818
    Abstract: A pair of anvil pins are mounted at their lower ends on a pair of spaced carriers, which reciprocate beneath a work supporting surface in horizontally spaced, colinear paths. The pins project upwardly through an elongate slot in the work surface and into a bore in an annular workpiece positioned on the surface. One carrier is urged by a spring in one direction to cause its anvil pin to urge the outer periphery of the workpiece into a V-shaped recess in a locator plate that is adjustably secured on the work surface, thereby to center the workpiece over the slot. An indicator mounted on the other carrier has a resilient probe extending between the carriers to urge them apart, and thereby to urge their pins against diametrally opposite sides of the bore, whereby a readout on the gage will indicate the extent to which the I.D. of the bore differs from a predetermined value. One pin is adjustable on its carrier to accomodate the gage for measuring particularly large or small bores.
