  • Patent number: 11963523
    Abstract: A fly trap configured to contact a window surface includes a frame and a cover. The frame includes a top surface and a bottom surface. A portion of the bottom surface is configured to contact the window surface, and the frame defines an interior and an ingress for permitting flies to enter the interior from a side of the frame. The cover includes an adhesive fly capture surface configured to face the window surface and attach the cover to the top surface of the frame. The cover enclosing the interior at the top surface of the frame.

  • Publication number: 20240095470
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method is programmed to support efficient and rapid generation of machine translation suggestions on client devices. Network latency is substantially reduced or eliminated by separating certain aspects of the translation workload across multiple classes of tasks, including final neural network output, between a client device and server device. The client device and server device may be connected such that a decoder portion of a machine translation system may be downloaded onto the client device, along with an initial translation suggestion and encoder outputs associated with a document, which document is in a source language to be translated into a target language. The initial translation suggestion may be replaced by an updated machine translation suggestion as a user inputs text in the target language called a prefix. This updated machine translation is generated on the client-side decoder using the previously-downloaded encoder outputs as input and the prefix as constraint.

  • Publication number: 20160120120
    Abstract: A leaf collection device to facilitate collection of leaves distributed on a ground surface into a leaf collection bag, the leaf collection device comprising: a frame defining a mouth and having a forward side and a trailing side, the frame being sized and shaped to attach at the trailing side to a periphery of an opening in the leaf collection bag, to maintain the bag opening coincident with the mouth of the frame; and a handle to provide a grip for a user to move the device, wherein the handle is attached to the frame and oriented towards the forward side of the frame; wherein, upon placing the device in a side position wherein the frame is adjacent to the ground, the device may be moved by the handle in a forward direction, and leaves on the ground may be raked into the bag through the bag opening.

  • Publication number: 20060283596
    Abstract: Formation zones of interest may be isolated and stimulated by substantially instantaneously providing a pressure equal to or greater than the fracture pressure of the targeted zone. A treatment fluid is accumulated in coiled tubing until the pressure is equal to or greater than the fracture pressure of the targeted zone. The accumulated pressurized treatment fluid is released substantially instantaneously at the targeted formation zone. The accumulated pressurized treatment fluid may be substantially simultaneously released with the detonation of a perforation gun.

  • Patent number: 4890730
    Abstract: Apparatus for separately holding a multiplicity of each of several different sized elastic bands such as rubber bands. The apparatus includes a body having a multiplicity of storage regions, each of which has a storage slot. Further, the circumferences of at least two of the storage slots in different storage regions are different from one another. More specifically, a storage region is formed by disposing a first storage slot having a first circumference between two other restraining or confining ridges or regions, each of which ridges or regions has a larger circumference than the first region. Different sized elastic bands are then wrapped about the body in the different storage regions. The circumference about the body in a storage slot of a particular storage region which is appropriately sized to hold a particular elastic band is at least as large as the circumference of the inside surface of the elastic band.
