  • Patent number: 11640417
    Abstract: Embodiments of systems and methods for information retrieval are disclosed. Embodiments of such systems and methods may perform information retrieval based on a language model that is used to generate a single vector for the search terms of a query. Similarly, a single vector representation of each of the data records to be searched is obtained and the single vector representing the search terms of the query compared to the single vector of each data record to determine a similarity metric. The resulting similarity metrics associated with each of the data records can be used to rank, present or return one or more data records.

  • Publication number: 20230031926
    Abstract: Embodiments of a system as described herein may receive financial institution product information from a plurality of financial institutions distributed across a computing network. The system may also receive data from the plurality of financial institutions distributed across the computer network and create or update an ontology. A relevance score may be generated for a set of financial institution products which may, in conjunction with a campaign definition provided by a financial institution administrator, be used to associate users with a list of campaigns which may be stored as campaign data. An online banking application at a user device may request campaign data for a user. In response, the system may return campaign data for the user to the online banking application. Using the campaign data, the online banking application may select one or more products to recommend to the user and display content for the selected products on the user device.

  • Patent number: 6939401
    Abstract: The present invention relates to settable compositions for general purpose concrete construction containing Class-F fly ash, Class-C fly ash and/or slag, and potassium chloride (KCl) as a substantial replacement for Portland cement conventionally used in such compositions. The potassium chloride is an additive for improved high early strength and accelerated setting times, thereby allowing the concrete structure to be put into service sooner, reducing labor cost, and allowing precast concrete and concrete masonry manufacturers to achieve rapid form and mold turnover.

  • Patent number: 5957421
    Abstract: A retainer device (10) for holding tools (12) in a removable manner to a utility belt (14) and a wall (16) comprising a plurality of clip members (18). A facility (20) is for mounting the clip members (18) to the utility belt (14) and the wall (16). A plurality of stud members (22) are provided. An assemblage (24) is for affixing each of the stud members (22) to a tool (12). In a first instance, each tool (12) with one stud member (22) can quickly engage with and disengage from any one clip member (18) on the utility belt (14) for work purposes. In a second instance, each tool (12) with one stud member (22) can quickly engage with and disengage from any one clip member (18) on the wall (16) for storage purposes.
