  • Stimulation assembly
    Patent number: 9649248
    Abstract: An apparatus comprises a base portion comprising an aperture for receiving an organ of a user and a base support member extending downward. The base portion moves along a track. A pivotable and slidable cross member is joined to the base support member. A frame supports the base portion. The frame is joined to the track for moving the base portion relative to the frame. A first support member extends in a downward direction for a first distance. A second support member extends in a downward direction for a second shorter distance. A guide joins ends of the first support member and the second support member. A T-shaped member sliding on the guide is in engagement with the cross member wherein the user engaging the base portion and moving the base portion along the track imparts a lateral movement on the base portion.

  • SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR NATURAL LANGUAGE QUERYING
    Publication number: 20160314121
    Abstract: A system and method for information retrieval are presented. A natural language query is received from a client computer. The natural language query is analyzed to identify a plurality of terms, and a relationship between a pair of terms in the plurality of terms is determined using a knowledge model. The knowledge model defines a plurality of entities and interrelationships between one or more of the plurality of entities for a knowledge domain. A triple statement is constructed using the relationship between the pair of terms, and a query is executed against a knowledge base using the triple statement to generate a set of results. The knowledge base identifies a plurality of items, each of the plurality of items is associated with at least one annotation identifying at one of the entities in the knowledge model. The set of results are transmitted to the client computer.
