  • Publication number: 20160327187
    Abstract: A utility hanger system for the food, beverage, and pharmaceutical industries has a main hanger member extending in an axial direction, which has an axially extending semicylindrical central segment of a first radius, the central segment terminating in first and second wings on opposite sides of the central segment. A slot extends axially along the main hanger member and is positioned between two rod holes. Rods extend through the rod holes to an overhead support member and are fixed to the main hanger member by nuts. Pipes and conduits are gripped within standoffs which space the pipes from the main hanger member with a hexagonal member which is bolted within the main hanger member slot. The pipes and conduits can be supported above or below the main hanger member.

  • Patent number: 9378285
    Abstract: Methods and systems for extending keyword searching techniques to syntactically and semantically annotated data are provided. Example embodiments provide a Syntactic Query Engine (“SQE”) that parses, indexes, and stores a data set as an enhanced document index with document terms as well as information pertaining to the grammatical roles of the terms and ontological and other semantic information. In one embodiment, the enhanced document index is a form of term-clause index, that indexes terms and syntactic and semantic annotations at the clause level. The enhanced document index permits the use of a traditional keyword search engine to process relationship queries as well as to process standard document level keyword searches. This abstract is provided to comply with rules requiring an abstract, and it is submitted with the intention that it will not be used to interpret or limit the scope or meaning of the claims.

  • Patent number: 8775651
    Abstract: A method for implementing a dynamic adaptation service includes initializing a plurality of services of an enterprise service bus (ESB). At least one service of the plurality of services being initialized is a dynamic adaptation service. The method also includes receiving at the dynamic adaptation service a first request from a user requesting adaptation between a first client and a first service. The method further includes identifying a first protocol used by the first service and a second protocol used by the first client. The method additionally includes determining at least one adapter to use to adapt messages communicated between the first client using the first protocol and the first service using the second protocol. The method also includes creating a new adapter service through which the first client connects to the first service via the at least one adapter.
