Abstract: Ramps to facilitate crossing thresholds of sliding doors are disclosed. An example apparatus includes a ramp to be positioned adjacent a threshold of a sliding door; a bridge plate; and a hinge to rotatable couple the bridge plate to the ramp. The bridge plate is to rotate between a stowed position and a deployed position. The bridge plate is to be positioned clear of a path of a panel of the sliding door when in the stowed position. The bridge plate is to extend across the threshold when in the deployed position.

Abstract: Aspects of the present invention relate to the assessment of explant organ viability prior to transplantation. Particularly, although not exclusively, aspects of the present invention relate to biomarkers which can be used to inform a decision as to whether an organ is suitable for transplantation into a recipient. In certain embodiments, the organ is undergoing hypothermic perfusion following retrieval from a donor.

Abstract: A system for domain-specific disambiguation of terms, the system being implemented on one or more computers. The system comprises a plurality of machine-learned modules, wherein each machine-learned module comprises a selectively executable machine-learned classifier model corresponding to a respective one of a plurality of terms to be disambiguated, each term to be disambiguated being an acronym or homonym, and a fragment vectorizer module configured to: receive a body of text; identify one or more of said terms to be disambiguated within the received body of text; and generate context data for each of the identified terms. The system further comprises a feature generator configured to process the context data for each of the identified terms to obtain a feature vector for input into the respective machine-learned module for the identified term.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing an air compressor assembly including, between a tank welding step and a final assembling step, a step of submerging a welded tank into a dip tank that contains cooling liquid treated with a corrosion inhibitor. In a preferred embodiment, in the submerging step, all air access ports of the welded tank are open to allow the cooling liquid to coat both the inside and outside surfaces of the air tank to maximize corrosion inhibitor protection and increase tank cooling rate. The method for manufacturing an air compressor assembly according to the present invention may be used in manufacturing air compressor assemblies in various styles.

Abstract: An air compressor assembly having an air tank which, during air usage, continuously discharges condensate accumulated in the air tank into the compressed air being released. The air tank has an air outlet port at its wall, through which compressed air and condensate are released for use in air powered tools during air usage.

Abstract: An air compressor assembly having an unpainted air tank that is enclosed in a shroud. The air tank may be made of metal, plastic, or the like. In a preferred embodiment, the shroud is made of plastic. The shroud may also be made of metal or the like. The air compressor assembly according to the present invention may be formed in various styles, including a portable type air compressor assembly, a “pancake” type air compressor assembly, a “hot-dog” type air compressor assembly, a vertical “hot-dog” type air compressor assembly, a vertical stationary type air compressor assembly, a “double hot-dog” type air compressor assembly, and the like.

Abstract: A stove burner activation device is included with a microswitch having an actuator arm. The microswitch is connected between a power source and the ends of a heating element of a burner for providing power thereto upon the closing of the microswitch's internal contacts. Also included is a mounting assembly for mounting the microswitch to the bottom surface of a burner compartment below a center of a burner well of an associated one of the burners of a stove. Next provided is an actuator rod slidably situated within an aperture formed in the center of the burner well with a first end extended above the heating element of the burner and a second end coupled to the microswitch for closing its internal contacts thereof.
