  • Publication number: 20240422165
    Abstract: A computing system and a method performed by the computing system are presented. The system may provide a cybersecurity analysis platform, and the method may include outputting a plurality of content access options for selection by a user or group of users of the platform, wherein the content access options are associated with different amounts of content access to a cybersecurity intelligence content source. The method may further involve receiving a selection of one of the content access options, and updating, based on the selection, a profile that indicates an amount of content access allocated to the user or group of users. The method may involve receiving a content request from the user or group of users for cybersecurity intelligence content, and responding to the content requested based on whether the allocated amount of content access has been completely depleted.

  • Patent number: 10730495
    Abstract: The invention relates to an improved plunger assembly for a vehicle brake system. The plunger assembly is operable as a pressure source to control brake fluid pressure supplied to one or more wheel brakes. The plunger assembly comprises a housing defining a cylinder; a reversible motor supported by the housing and having a rotor; and a linear actuator such as a ball screw/nut mechanism driven by the motor. A plunger head is mounted in the cylinder and driven by the linear actuator in first and second opposite directions. Improvements include an elastomeric tubular torque coupler connected to a ball screw/nut anti-rotation member; and a clamped connection at an inner race of a motor bearing for securing the rotor to the ball screw/nut component.

  • Patent number: 10370177
    Abstract: A dual component insert for use with a spray actuator for dispensing a pressurized product. The dual component insert comprises a support insert and an insert disk. The support insert includes a base wall which has a support discharge orifice formed therein and a cylindrical wall is formed integral with and extends from the base wall so as to define an insert cavity. The insert disk has a disk discharge orifice, a diameter of the disk discharge orifice is smaller than a diameter of the support discharge orifice, and the insert disk is received and captively retained within the insert cavity so that the disk discharge orifice is axially aligned with the support discharge orifice. The insert disk is manufactured from a relatively thin durable material which facilitates fabrication of a consistent, accurate, uniform and well defined small diameter discharge orifice which results in dispensing a fine mist spray.

  • Publication number: 20160088819
    Abstract: A swinging bird perch assembly is provided for birds of various types. The perch assembly includes an arch-shaped frame supporting an elongated rod there between. The frame may be configured as a flat u-shaped lattice structure having a first end attached to a first end of the elongated rod and a second end attached to a second end of the elongated rod. The width of the lattice structure of the frame is adapted to accommodate various birds at one time. An attractant item may dangle from an upper end of the lattice structure. Alternatively, a feeder assembly may be attached to the elongated rod to hold a given quantity of a food source for the bird.

  • Publication number: 20140258849
    Abstract: A plurality of content items for a content stream is determined by a system. The system estimates size dimensions for the content items, and determines a multidimensional layout by placing the content items into two or more adjacent containers based on the size dimensions. The system determines a difference in size between the two or more adjacent containers and adjusts an aspect of one or more of the content items to substantially equalize a size of the two or more containers.

  • Publication number: 20070258101
    Abstract: A method and system reconstructs a contone image from a binary image by first tagging pixels to identify one of a multiplicity of image content types. The tag information and the pattern of bits surrounding the pixel to be converted to a contone value are used to reconstruct a contone image from a binary image. The pattern of bits in the neighborhood is used to generate a unique identifier. The unique identifier is used as the address for a lookup table with the contone value to be used wherein each lookup table corresponds to an image context type.

  • Publication number: 20070134037
    Abstract: Embodiments herein observe the backing of the document handler to determine if a document was left on the platen and would block the scan head from scanning the documents as they are moved by the document handler. An embodiment herein comprises a transparent platen and a document handler on a first side of the platen. The document handler has a backing, and the backing is adapted to move media within the document handler. A scan head is positioned on a second side of the platen. The scan head remains stationary when scanning the media being moved by the document handler and the scan head moves when scanning media on the platen. The backing of the document handler has a surface that is distinguishable from the media such that the scan head can detect whether the media is on the platen and would block the scan head from scanning the media being moved by the document handler.
