  • Patent number: 11225046
    Abstract: Embodiments of a system and a method for manufacturing a gypsum board can be used to produce a gypsum board having at least one perforated cover sheet via a cover sheet perforator system. The cover sheet perforator system can include a perforator roller is disposed downstream of a forming station along a machine direction, a roller support frame for rotatably supporting the perforator roller such that its rotational axis extends along the cross-machine direction, and a motor arranged with the perforator roller to rotate the perforator roller about the rotational axis. The drive motor can be adapted to rotate the perforator roller with a tangential speed substantially equal to the line speed to produce a series of perforation holes in an upwardly-facing cover sheet as the gypsum board moves past the perforator roller.

  • Publication number: 20210378842
    Abstract: An intervertebral spacer inserter includes a sleeve having a longitudinal axis, a hollow sleeve bore extending through the sleeve along the longitudinal axis, a sleeve tip end and an opening of a passage disposed in the sleeve tip end. The passage extends into the sleeve to the sleeve shaft along a passage axis that intersects the longitudinal axis at an angle less than about 90°. A sliding tip with an elongated slot is in contact with the sleeve tip end and is moveable with respect to the sleeve tip end between a first position with the opening accessible through the elongated slot and disposed adjacent a first end of the elongated slot and a second position with the opening accessible through the elongated slot and disposed adjacent a second end of the elongated slot opposite the first end.

  • Publication number: 20210334589
    Abstract: Systems and methods for identifying individuals with a user-requested expertise are provided. For example, the system can include a processor configured to receive a user input and extract one or more keywords from the input. The processor can generate search requests based upon the one or more keywords, each search request identifying at least one application programming interface (API) call configured to invoke at least one API function as exposed by a software application. The processor can transmit the search requests to the software applications and receive search responses. The processor can determine a plurality of software application users and a set of associated evidence, each set of associated evidence including user interactions with each of the software applications. The processor can aggregate the evidence into an aggregated data set and configure the aggregated data set as an input to a machine learning classifier for ranking the sets of evidence.

  • Patent number: 11153760
    Abstract: In one illustrative example, a device configured for use in a wireless local area network (WLAN) may cause a spatial reuse (SR) adjustment to be performed based on data received from a multi-user receiver procedure for the blind detection and demodulation of colliding packets from multiple stations. This procedure may be performed by one or more access points (APs) and/or distributed sensor nodes, each having such a multi-user receiver. The procedure may involve receiving and decoding, over a channel, a first spatial stream from a first device of a first base service set (BSS) color; simultaneously receiving and decoding, over the channel, a second spatial stream from a second device of a second BSS color (i.e. an overlapping BSS or “OBSS”); and calculating a signal-to-interference ratio (SIR) based on signal levels associated with the streams. The SR adjustment may involve adjusting an OBSS Packet Detect (PD) (OBSS-PD) threshold.

  • Publication number: 20210312058
    Abstract: Methods, computer-readable media, software, and apparatuses may retrieve, from an industry standard setting scoring system and for a vulnerability, a temporal score based on a pre-revision version of a scoring system, and predict, based on a machine learning model and based on the temporal score for the vulnerability, an updated temporal score based on a post-revision version of the scoring system. A mitigating factor score, indicative of a mitigation applied to the vulnerability by an enterprise organization, may be determined. A risk score may be generated for each vulnerability, as a composite of the updated temporal score and the mitigating factor score. The risk scores for vulnerabilities in a collection of vulnerabilities may be aggregated to determine an enterprise risk score for the enterprise organization. In some instances, the enterprise risk score may be displayed via a graphical user interface.

  • Patent number: 11135690
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems, apparatuses, and methods for assembling cartridges for aerosol delivery devices. The cartridges may be assembled by coupling a base of the cartridge to a carriage that is transported via a track. The track transports the carriages between various substations at which one or more parts are added to the base. The carriage may be lifted from the track by a lifter mechanism at each substation in order to perform assembly operations on the base. An inspection system may inspect the cartridges at various stages of completion at or between the various substations.
