  • Patent number: 11507011
    Abstract: A partial reverse clutch assembly comprises a frame, a coupling member, a corrugated swing body, and a cam body. The frame mounts an input gear and an output gear, and, a coupling member that is disposed between input and output gears couple the input gear to the output gear to transmit a motorized rotational drive in a first direction. The swing body is coupled between the input gear and the coupling member and comprises a projecting swing arm. The cam body abuts and defines a sliding contact between the swing body and the coupling member, where a reversal of the motorized rotational drive oppositely rotates the output gear in engagement with the swing arm in a second direction. The cam body is displaced upon contact with the swing body during the rotation in the second direction to decouple the coupling member between the input gear and the output gear.

  • Publication number: 20220308988
    Abstract: A method, computer program product and computer system for generating requirements for a project are provided. A processor retrieves a test script for the project. A processor parses one or more sentences from the test script. Responsive to identifying a sentence with a present-tense verb, a processor transforms the verb tense of the sentence to a modal auxiliary-verb format. A processor generates a requirements document associated with the project with the modal auxiliary-verb formatted sentence.

  • Patent number: 11389594
    Abstract: An assembly for a medication delivery device includes a body, a piston rod, rotatable with respect to the body, for setting a dose of a medication, and axially movable in a distal direction for delivering the set dose, wherein, in cross-section, the piston rod includes a plurality of ratchet teeth to enable rotation of the piston rod during setting of a dose, and a stop member secured against axial and rotational movement, wherein the stop member mechanically cooperates with the piston rod, wherein, when setting the dose, the piston rod becomes aligned with the stop member, and wherein, when delivering the set dose, the piston rod is moved in the distal direction towards the stop member such that the piston rod and the stop member abut at the end of the dose delivery operation and further distal movement of the piston rod is prevented after dose delivery.

  • Publication number: 20220171857
    Abstract: In an approach to predicting software security exploits by monitoring software events, sets of design events are received from a compliance monitor, where the sets of design events are captured by the compliance monitor during execution of a software application. A pattern of the sets of design events performed by the software application is detected, where the pattern is a specific sequence of the sets of design events. The pattern of the sets of design events performed by the software application is compared to a database of learned patterns using a deep learning model. A security exploit is predicted based on the comparison of the pattern of the sets of design events performed by the software application to the learned patterns.

  • Patent number: 11201930
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer-readable media for creating and managing a multi-tiered service messaging architecture within a cloud service provider or computing environment. In one or more embodiments, the multi-tiered service messaging architecture may comprise a primary topic configured to receive and manage particular service messages. Services of the cloud are allocated a service topic to receive the service messages managed by the primary topic and may itself subscribe to the primary topic to receive the service messages. Through the subscription to the service topic, the service may receive the service messages provided by the primary topic. Still other sub-topics may subscribe to the service topics for additional subscriptions by services to receive the service messages provided by the primary topic.
