  • Publication number: 20150339269
    Abstract: A system and method for converting an unstructured document to a plurality of flowcharts using natural language processing is disclosed. The system comprises a processor, a memory coupled to the processor. The memory can store a database, which maintains a plurality of unstructured documents to be converted into flowcharts. Further, the system enables a plurality of instructions executable by the processor for natural language processing to parse the unstructured document into a plurality of events and identify a plurality of parameters associated with the events. Further, the system identifies correlation and execution sequences between the plurality of events using the plurality of parameters. A parsed document is created which also maintains correlation and execution sequence of events in a structured format such as a binary tree structure. The parsed document is then used to generate a pictorially representation such as flowchart representing the execution sequence of the events.

  • Publication number: 20150337104
    Abstract: The present invention is particularly directed to graphenic dispersion and slurry compositions and the production and uses thereof, where these compositions exhibit one or more of the hallmark strength, thermal or electrical properties of “pure” graphene while at the same time being optimized in terms of solubility or other properties necessary for compatibility with one or more end processes. In specific embodiments, a composition of matter includes a graphenic mixture and at least one species of polymerized product of benzyl alcohol, and a method of making such composition of matter comprises sonicating the graphenic mixture in heated benzyl alcohol. In a further specific embodiment, a composition of matter is formed by sonicating a graphenic mixture in heated benzyl alcohol, wherein the resulting composition exhibits a binder functionality in the absence of exogenous binder.

  • Publication number: 20150335093
    Abstract: An adapter for mounting a face shield on a hard hat self-centers and aligns itself with respect to the hard hat brim. An arcuate main body has an arcuate guard portion that extends over the hard hat brim. A central retention tab engages the front edge of the hard hat brim. Opposing guide channels engage the side edges of the hard hat brim and limit rotation of the main body with respect to the hard hat. Cantilever springs within the guide channels engage the side edges of the hard hat brim to self-center the brim with respect to the main body. A retention member extending around the back of the hard hat secures the main body to the hard hat. A face shield mounting bracket is pivotally mounted to the main body portion and supports a face shield. A clutching mechanism helps control the orientation of the face shield.

  • Publication number: 20150336248
    Abstract: A hand-held power drill having a torque setting mechanism. The power drill includes a drill housing that encloses a motor that rotatably drives a drill chuck in which a drill bit can be positioned. The housing further includes a control circuit having a microprocessor, a torque sensor, a motor speed control, and a torque setting mechanism. The torque setting mechanism allows the user to enter the desired amount of torque to be applied by the drill and includes a display indicating the current torque setting. The torque sensor measures the amount of torque currently applied, and if the torque output differs from the torque setting, then the motor speed control adjusts the speed of the motor in order to achieve the desired torque setting. In this way, the speed of the motor automatically changes to adjust the torque when a user inputs the desired amount of torque.

  • Publication number: 20150341491
    Abstract: Video calling devices are described herein that are configured to exchange video presence statuses with each other. Each of these video calling devices determines its presence status based at least on its network connection type, its login status for a video calling service, and its camera status and provides the presence status to the video calling service. Each video calling device also receives presence statuses of other video calling devices. This exchange of presence statuses enables initiation of video calls between the video calling devices.

  • Publication number: 20150338055
    Abstract: A light source, for example a light emitting diode, can emit light and have an associated optical axis. The source can be deployed in applications where it is desirable to have illumination biased laterally relative to the optical axis, such as in a street luminaire where directing light towards a street is beneficial. The source can be coupled to an optic that comprises an inner surface facing the source and an outer surface that is opposite the inner surface. The inner surface can comprise a refractive surface that receives light headed away from the optical axis of the light source, for example opposite the street. The refractive surface can form the received light into a beam. The outer surface of the optic can reflect the beam back across the optical axis, for example so that light headed away from the street is redirected towards the street.

  • Publication number: 20150334997
    Abstract: An aquarium or aquatic system such as a fish tank for the safe and clean containment of a plurality of aquatic specimens such as fish, segregated from one another by a series of divider panels aligned within that tank. The divider panels are spaced from the walls and floor of that tank so as to permit a “bottom current” flow of water under those divider panels to sweep away the debris accumulating in each of those chambers, and then into a collection unit such as a series of filters, filtration system or water processors which thus treats and cleans the water and preferably reintroduces that water back into the upstream end of that water flow.
