  • Patent number: 11891855
    Abstract: In one aspect, a leveling assembly for adjusting the levelness or skew angle of a bottom rail of a covering for an architectural structure includes at least one movable or slideable component configured to be moved or slid laterally relative to the bottom rail or a headrail of the covering to adjust the length(s) along which one or more of the lift cords extend within the bottom rail or headrail, which, in turn, adjusts the effective length of such lift cord(s) defined between the bottom rail and the headrail of the covering. Such adjustment of the effective length(s) of the lift cord(s) results in the horizontal orientation or skew angle of the bottom rail being varied, thereby allowing the levelness of the bottom rail to be adjusted, as desired.

  • Publication number: 20230252469
    Abstract: Methods and systems are presented for analyzing transactions conducted through user accounts with an online service provider based on graph analysis. A graph is generated based on a set of seed accounts that are determined to be involved in suspicious activities. The graph includes a set of seed nodes representing the seed accounts, and a set of nodes representing user accounts that are connected to the set of seed accounts in downstream transactions. A random walk traversal based on multiple dimensions is performed on the graph to determine nodes that are closely related to the set of seed nodes. Transactions conducted through the seed accounts and accounts corresponding to nodes that are closely related to the set of seed nodes are analyzed to detect any malicious activities.
