  • Patent number: 11861718
    Abstract: Improved computer modeling techniques, and uses thereof, are described herein. A set of unstructured textual data is received. Certain textual data is removed from the set of unstructured data to form an initial vocabulary set of textual data. One or more bigrams are added to the vocabulary set of textual data to form a final vocabulary set of textual data. The final vocabulary set of textual data is divided into a plurality of subsets of textual data based on type. A model is trained using each of the plurality of subsets of textual data to form a plurality of trained models, each corresponding to one of the types.

    Abstract: An adaptable cable management desk system comprising a frame assembly including at least one static leg. At least one interleg is releasably connected to the frame assembly, each interleg being movable along the length of the frame assembly. A monitor beam having a proximal edge is supported by the frame assembly and a work surface having a distal edge is spaced apart from the proximal edge of the monitor beam. A cableway for running wires and cabling is defined by the proximal edge of the monitor beam and the distal edge of work surface. An access flap is pivotally connected to the proximal edge of the monitor beam and movable from a closed position covering the cableway to an open position providing access to the cableway.

  • Publication number: 20070153812
    Abstract: A network service is made available on a device capable of operating on a first network that is coupled to a second network via a Network Address Translator (NAT). One or more User Datagram Protocol (UDP) messages with an entity of the second network. Based on the exchange of UDP messages, an IP address and port used by the NAT on the second network is determined for purposes of accessing the device on the first network via the second network. The IP address and port are registered with a discovery service of the second network. Network services are requested from the device via the second network using the IP address and port obtained via the discovery service. In one arrangement, the exchange of UDP messages involves the use of Simple Traversal of UDP Through NATs (STUN) messages.

  • Publication number: 20060102090
    Abstract: A holder for a flexible vinyl tube used to siphon water from a fish aquarium has been designed to be affixed permanently to the inside wall of a drainage container. The holder consists of a plastic pipe attached to a curved plastic plate. The inside wall of the pipe is sized and or configured to exert an appropriate and predetermined degree of pressure against the siphon tube. When inserted in the holder, the tube is held in place. When in use, lateral and downward pressure lock the tube in place vertically but also allows for the tube to be swivelled.

  • Patent number: 6446301
    Abstract: A laterally movable wiper arm assembly cleans curved interior surfaces of automobile and truck windshields. The wiper blade is movable on two curved tracks; one at the top of the windshield and one at the bottom of the windshield, with a vertically oriented telescoping wiper blade movable laterally therebetween. The telescoping arm support permits the vertical blade to tilt into the corners at the bottom of the windshield, to cover a larger proportion of the area, since the bottom of a windshield is longer than the top. The blade or wiping pad is supported with a resilient foam layer attached to a flexible substrate, which is adjustably attached to a rigid support arm following the windshield contour.

  • Patent number: 4759554
    Abstract: A mechanical face seal comprises a first seal face member associated in fixed relationship and sealed with respect to one component, a second seal face member associated in fixed rotational relationship and sealed with respect to a second component and a third seal face member interposed between the first and second seal face members. Springs are provided to urge the second seal face member towards the first seal face member and maintain the first, second and third seal face members in sealing engagement. The sealing faces of the first, second and third seal face members are inclined, so that the first and second seal face members impose a radial load on the third seal face member. Two such seal assemblies may be provided co-axially of one another to provide a double seal.
