  • Publication number: 20240135402
    Abstract: A method can include establishing, by a computing system, a secure electronic network connection to an electronic agent running configured to access the dataset to dynamically generate the metadata related to the dataset on a client computing system. A method can include receiving, by the computing system, from the electronic agent via the secure electronic network connection, metadata related to a dataset, the metadata comprising a plurality of attributes of the dataset and a summary of the dataset. A method can include applying a valuation model to the metadata to determine an estimated value of the dataset, the valuation model comprising a machine learning model trained using marketplace data comprising sales prices and attributes of one or more datasets, wherein the model is trained to output the sales prices of the one or more datasets. A method can include determining, an estimated value of the dataset.

  • Publication number: 20240081575
    Abstract: A coffee maker includes a frame, and a brew basket slidably mounted to the frame. The brew basket includes a beverage outlet. A drip stop mechanism operatively associated with the brew basket includes a slider slidably mounted to an underside of the brew basket and a catch member mounted on the frame. The slider is adapted to move from a sealed, closed position where the beverage outlet is closed by the slider toward a brew, open position where the beverage outlet is open as the brew basket is being mounted on the frame. The slider is adapted to move from the open position toward the closed position as the brew basket is removed from the frame. The catch member is adapted to engage the slider as the brew basket is being mounted on the frame.

  • Publication number: 20240074621
    Abstract: A utensil crock includes a receptacle having a base and a sidewall defining an open upper end of the receptacle. A dividing panel IS adapted to be removably positioned within an interior of the receptacle to divide the interior into separate compartments. The dividing panel has a first end portion opposite a second end portion, wherein when positioned in the interior the dividing panel has one of a first configuration where the second end portion has a first orientation relative to the first end portion, and a second configuration where the second end portion has a differing second orientation relative to the first end portion.

  • Patent number: 8089395
    Abstract: A method and corresponding apparatus are provided for phase correction in a deployable antenna system, in particular a redeployable HF surface wave radar phased array antenna system, the antenna system including a master control unit and a plurality of separate antenna elements which are relatively moveable to desired spaced-apart locations, wherein each antenna element is provided with RF signal processing means, the method including the steps of: (i) determining the relative positions of the antenna elements and the master control unit; (ii) transmitting a phase reference signal; and (iii) determining, on receiving the phase reference signal and using the relative positions determined at step (i), phase correction signals for each of the plurality of antenna elements.

  • Patent number: 6285390
    Abstract: A rotatable mirror assembly comprises a rotatably mounted support (1); and a mirror (7) mounted to the support for rotation therewith. The mirror (7) is mounted at a position (5) laterally offset from the axis (6) of rotation of the support, the mirror being spaced from the remainder of the support to allow the mirror to distort when it is rotated.

  • Patent number: 5682394
    Abstract: In a memory system comprising a plurality of memory units each of which possesses unit-level error correction capabilities and each of which is tied to a system level error correction function, memory reliability is enhanced by providing a mechanism for disabling the unit-level error correction capability, for example, in response to the occurrence of an uncorrectable error in one of the memory units. This counter-intuitive approach which disables an error correction function nonetheless enhances overall memory system reliability since it enables the employment of the complement/recomplement algorithm which depends upon the presence of reproducible errors for proper operation. Thus, chip level error correction systems, which are increasingly desirable at high packaging densities, are employed in a way which does not interfere with system level error correction methods.

  • Patent number: 5645728
    Abstract: A method of recovering hydrogen peroxide from colored aqueous solutions is disclosed. The solution is brought in contact with a non-ionic size-exclusion chromatography resin made up of packed particles having narrow, low molecular weight pores. The higher molecular weight colored constituents are largely excluded from the pores causing these constituents to be more rapidly eluted with water along the exterior of the particles. Hydrogen peroxide molecules are small enough to enter the pores several times in their passage through the resin which slows their progress sufficiently to cause elution of hydrogen peroxide after the colored constituents have been eluted, effectively resolving the two components.
