Patent number: 11586756Abstract: An article management system collects articles from different sources, processes each article to extract information about the article (such as the topics covered in the article), and stores the information in one or more knowledge graphs. The system also maintains user profiles for each of its users. Each user profile includes a user genome representing the user's interests and preferences. The information in the knowledge graphs can be used to select articles to be displayed to users of the article management system. Articles can be displayed as part of the search results for an associated topic or concept, as part of a personalized feed that is generated based on the data in a user's profile, or as part of a feature that displays multiple articles that cover a given topic from multiple different viewpoints. The system can also provide a platform for users to create and publish research collections.Type: GrantFiled: January 10, 2022Date of Patent: February 21, 2023Assignee: Neutrality, Inc.Inventors: Daniel Alexander Koch, Cody M.

Patent number: 4126040Abstract: A liquid level gauge for a tank, especially a pressurized railway tank car, has a housing with a bottom opening mounted at a top opening of the tank. A horizontal shaft is rotatably mounted in the housing between opposed walls having parallel flat vertical inner surfaces. A sprocket is fixedly mounted on the central part of the shaft, on each end of which is fixedly mounted a ring magnet spaced from one of these walls. Complementary ring magnets are rotatably mounted outside but adjacent these opposed walls. The four ring magnets constitute a pair of magnetic drives. A track and cable guide assembly, supported in the tank, extends from the bottom portion of the tank. A perforated tape is trained over the sprocket on the shaft and another sprocket rotatably mounted in the bottom portion of the tank so that the tape is under tension.
