Abstract: A journal of operations persistently stores a collection of user and machine interactions with documents, concepts within documents, and relationships/mentions among such documents and concepts. A knowledge graph or other visual expression can be used to provide an interactive format for user interactions with this information, and to visually display the accumulated information in the journal of operations on user's device of choice. Such accumulations are often called aggregations or aggregates. Both human users and computer users such as automated recommendation engines, machine learning algorithms, and the like can interact with the journal of operations to facilitate computer-assisted discovery and organization of data around a topic of interest to the human user. The resulting journal of operations and aggregations of those operations such as a knowledge graph or other visual expression(s) also provides a useful medium for sharing knowledge with other users and collaborating on investigation of a topic.

Abstract: A user interface of an entity-centric knowledge discovery system presents an entity profile including a mix of structured and unstructured data relating to an entity. As a user refines the entity profile based on information gathered from various sources, the changing entity profile can be used as a substantially continuously updating query to search, retrieve, and rank new and pertinent information specifically relevant to the profiled entity. The platform described herein provide an active loop for refining an entity description and searching for additional information in which human input and machine-based algorithms can cooperate to more quickly build a comprehensive description of an entity of interest.

Abstract: Connections among two different entities are identified by processing a collection of documents to identify one or more documents that contain co-occurring mentions of each of the two different entities. This relationship may be graphically displayed in a user interface with an icon or the like for each of the two entities, along with a graphical link interconnecting the entities. The graphical link can be an active element of the user interface that responds to user interactions by providing access to evidence within the collection of documents that substantiates the connection between the two entities. In one aspect, a search input form field in a user interface may be used to explicitly request documents that substantiate a relationship between two entities. In another aspect, a user may ground entity mentions by explicitly selecting documents that mention an entity of interest.

Abstract: A portable storage shelter storing, small vehicles and other items has a base, a support structure, and a shell. The base has a first and a second rail, and a first and second cross bar removably attached between said first and second rails. The support structure comprises a plurality of vertical members slidably received within the rails. The vertical members are each contiguous with shell support means and a second one of said vertical members thereby forming a plurality of substantially U-shaped vertical support members. A means is provided for extendably securing each of the U-shaped support members to one another. Means are provided for attaching the shell to the support structure. U-shaped transitional members are slidably, pivotally attachable to the two rails of the base, thereby permitting the pivotal movement of the shell between an open vertically oriented position and a closed horizontal position.

The stand serves as an oral hygiene products dispensing station when the base supports a bottle of mouthwash, fluoride rinse or other antiseptic fluid.

Abstract: The present invention relates to compact tooth whitening devices. The compact tooth whitening device includes an electromagnetic radiation source and an applicator that is removably attached. A tooth whitening agent may be placed in the applicator and applied to the user's teeth. The electromagnetic radiation source is activated to impart electromagnetic radiation to the surface of the user's teeth coated with the tooth whitening agent, thereby causing a chemical reaction with the whitening agent, the effect of which is to enhance and/or expedite the tooth whitening effect of the application. In one embodiment of the present invention, the tooth whitening agent is selected based upon the wavelength of electromagnetic radiation emitted from the electromagnetic radiation emitter. In another aspect of the invention, a “try me package” is provided to allow consumers to sample the invention on a treated portion of the product packaging.

Abstract: The present invention is a computer-implemented method of retrieving raw data from a database that stores data pertaining to multiple travel transaction records and travel documents. That is, the raw data stored in the database includes the information found on a travel document. A summary of the travel transaction record is based on information in the supporting documents. The computer implemented method includes the step of retrieving the raw data and dynamically creating a summary of a travel transaction record concerning all related documents. Moreover, the computer-implemented method further includes the step of dynamically creating a document image of such supporting documentation using the raw data stored in the database.
