  • Publication number: 20210276071
    Abstract: A bent tubing automation tooling apparatus having a body component made of a rigid piece of material to connect an automation tooling machine to a work-piece manipulating implement, allowing for precision tooling with decreased parts and decreased setup, service, and tuning time to prepare the automation tooling machine for production. The body component may be a single monolithic body that is selectively movable between an operational position and an access position to provide for safer servicing of the automation tooling machine and components by allowing a technician to service the equipment from a safety zone instead of entering a dangerous area of the machine. The bent tubing apparatus provides fine tuning and quick adjustments to positional characteristics of the apparatus to increase precision of the automation tooling process while decreasing service time of the automation tooling machine and components.

  • Patent number: 10877850
    Abstract: Systems and methods of transmitting data from one location to another location that can be used in a number of applications including, but not limited to, secure transmission of data from one location to another and secure data backup. In one embodiment, a data file is split into pieces and the pieces are placed randomly in a diverse mesh of online cloud storage providers. So all the data is not sitting in a single point of failure and with the entire file available for theft. Each piece of data is given a randomized numerical code that determines where the packet of data is stored. Also, the pieces of data can be encrypted.

  • Patent number: 10240292
    Abstract: Unlike conventional through-air drying processes the instant invention utilizes at least two through-air driers where the first dyer is at least partially encircled by a first through-air drying fabric and the second dyer is at least partially encircled by a second through-air drying fabric. By providing each through-air dryer with its own fabric the overall drying performance may be increased. Additionally, in certain embodiments, the first and second fabrics may be different to optimize both the drying performance and/or tissue product properties.

  • Publication number: 20190037019
    Abstract: In an example implementation, the method includes automatically determining whether a computer system is located on-premises of a health service provider or on a multi-tenant cloud. The method includes communicatively coupling with health service provider data sources via a local network and extracting health service provider data from them. The health service provider data may include protected health information (PHI) and non-PHI data. The method includes storing the PHI data and the non-PHI data in an on-premises operational data store that is located on-premises of the health service provider. The method includes obtaining data analytics based on the PHI data and the non-PHI data stored in the on-premises operational data store. The method also includes communicatively coupling with a multi-tenant cloud via a global network and synchronizing the non-PHI data in the on-premises operational data store with the multi-tenant cloud via the global network.
