Abstract: The present disclosure is directed towards systems and methods for finding documents that are similar to a reference text. The inventive systems and methods examine a set of collected documents to determine the facts present in those documents by, for example, extracting triplets and expanding them. A user's input reference text is similarly examined to extract and expand triplets therein and the facts identified with respect to the reference text are used as a basis to find documents having similar facts. The present disclosure is also related to systems and methods for mining facts from documents relating to a primary source such as a piece of legislation and using the mined facts to improve the results of subsequent searches.

Abstract: A dock leveler includes a pivotally extendable lip coupled to a pivotal deck by way of a front hinge, wherein the structure in the area of the front hinge optimizes the torsional flexibility of the deck; provides a well supported, durable crown (apex angle between an extended lip and the deck); and reduces the part count of the dock leveler. The front hinge includes a deck-hinge member that extends approximately the full width of the deck and is preferably formed from a single sheet of material. A particularly narrow front header or flange disposed along the front edge of the deck reinforces the relatively thin deck plate so that the plate's rigidity more closely matches that of the thicker lip, yet the flange is sufficiently small to allow the deck to twist so that the deck can place the tip of the lip squarely upon a sideways inclined truck bed.

Abstract: A dock leveling system adapted to be disposed in a pit is disclosed. A hinge member with a hinge pin receiving area and a hinge pin disposed in the hinge member defines a center of rotation. A deck that is rotatable about the hinge pin includes a curved portion with a constant radius and a center of curvature substantially similar to the center of the hinge pin. The curved portion defines an elevation that remains constant as the deck rotates about the hinge pin.
