  • Publication number: 20230322492
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a chute liner for mounting on a shelf of a material transfer chute. The shelf has at least one locking formation aperture formed therein. The chute liner has a base for mounting on the shelf. The base has an operatively upper surface that comes into contact with material passing through the chute and an opposed operatively lower surface. The base has at least one mounting formation that depends from the operatively lower surface of the base that defines a passage which in use is passed through the locking formation aperture in the shelf. The chute liner also has a locking member passed through the passage until it operatively engages the mounting formation to lock the base to the shelf.

  • Publication number: 20230297652
    Abstract: The disclosed technology teaches integrating theme management of user interfaces that implement an authentication journey for hosted services, receiving user input and responsively configuring a switch block node used in the journey. A first configured control of the node selects an authentication-related state variable to set a switch and a second configured control specifies alternative settings. Also receiving user input and responsively composing a script used in the node to process the state variable and select among the switch settings, responsive to the state variable, and receiving user input and responsively creating a visual branding theme. Further included is receiving user input and responsively composing a directed graph in which nodes that implement the authentication journey are connected, applying the themes to named theme nodes, positioning and connecting the switch block node to subsequent named theme nodes, to which the switch block node alternatively directs a flow of the journey.

  • Publication number: 20230059565
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer storage media for providing a dynamically weighted unobserved component model (“DW-UCM”) in a demand forecasting engine of a data analytics system. Dynamic weighting is performed based on a machine learning framework that includes tools, interfaces, and a library for developing improved machine learning models (e.g., dynamic demand forecasting models) of a dynamic weighting machine learning pipeline. In particular, the dynamic weighting machine learning pipeline can include a first module that is configured to predict if a segment (e.g., travel segment) under evaluation is open or closed (e.g., due to a restriction or rule), a second module that forecasts near-term recovery (e.g., approx. 0 - 4 weeks), and a third module that predicts longer term recovery.

  • Publication number: 20210101733
    Abstract: Container systems employing linking subsystems for coupling enclosure bodies, and related methods are disclosed. A container system may include first and second enclosure bodies. Each of the bodies contains a wall structure enclosing an inner space and a lip forming a passageway through the wall structure. The container system also includes a linking subsystem configured to reversibly couple the wall structures of the bodies together. The user may uncouple the bodies from each other and recouple them together as desired. In this manner, the container system offers a more stable combination resistant to falling over and an organizational flexibility to couple the bodies together when items within the bodies and desired to be used together.

  • Patent number: 10955566
    Abstract: This invention provides an ornate method and design to create a PSP panel assembly mosaic for radiography operations. There is no similar design or method as taught herein. Having an integrated attachment point allows a superior foundation to secure PSP panel assemblies together with unique brackets allowing for modular attachments, improving performance, and capabilities. All current options utilize external methods that are not dependable, bulky, and are not modular. The main benefits of this method are a more secure connection, better image quality, fewer backscatter deposits, lightweight, ease of use, and smaller boxes needed to carry components.
