  • Patent number: 11784471
    Abstract: An apparatus and methods for pushing conductors into conduit and other structures are disclosed. The apparatus (“pusher”) can include rollers to apply a pushing force to one or more conductors or bundles of conductors. One or more rollers can be coupled to a drive mechanism. The pusher is configured to pull conductors or bundles of conductors off of one or more spools, and push the conductors or bundles of conductors without de-bundling or sorting the conductors. The conductors can be fed through the pusher in any format including side-by-side, vertical on top of one another, twisted together, or other formats. The pusher can include a guiding device that is configured to route the conductors from the pusher to a conduit through which the conductors are being pushed or pulled.

  • Publication number: 20220358509
    Abstract: Methods and systems are described herein for providing an evaluation system and an improved user interface to assist with decision making regarding particular operations. The evaluation system may collect, collate, store, and evaluate information from multiple sources and data of multiple types. The improved user interface may acquire, store, process, and display such relevant information efficiently and compactly for making an authorization decision. An evaluation system uses this data to create assessment scores for multiple people being evaluated for a variety of factors. The combined scores are displayed on the improved user interface for enabling improved visualization to decide if a particular operation is approved or denied.

  • Publication number: 20220139137
    Abstract: A system providing rolling code remote device functions to provide keyless entry to multiple makes and models of cars. The system adapted to produce the radio signal type and transmitted data of an original manufacturer's keyless entry remote device system by implementing multiple modulation schema and data encoding techniques. A system for backing up and restoring or replacing OEM vehicle keys. The system stores a copy of data from an OEM key along with other information necessary to replace the OEM key in a key bank. The data collected is processed and stored, a customer can order a universal replacement from the key bank programmed with stored data to emulate prior paired OEM key.

  • Patent number: 8402724
    Abstract: A device for deflecting a loose fill product from the seal zone of a bag and sealing the bag is provided. The device includes a product stopper. The product stopper is adjacent to the sealing element of a bagging machine. The product stopper includes a mount that mounts the product stopper to a bagging machine and a pinching element that pinches a bag proximal to a sealing zone before the bag is sealed by the sealing element at the sealing zone. In one embodiment, the pincher includes a spring loaded mechanism for pinching the bag proximal to the sealing zone. In another embodiment, the pincher includes an air assist mechanism for pinching the bag proximal to the sealing zone.
