  • Publication number: 20260138198
    Abstract: A cutting and scrap ejector system for a panel includes a lower post, a main pad, a cutting member and a plunger. The main pad is configured to cooperate with the lower post to grip the panel. The cutting member is movable between a non-cutting position in which the cutting member is configured to be spaced apart from the panel and a cutting position in which the cutting member is configured to trim the panel. The plunger is movably coupled to the main pad between a first position in which the plunger is configured to be spaced apart from the panel and a second position in which the plunger is configured to contact a portion of the panel to eject the portion of the panel from the system. The plunger is inhibited from contacting the portion of the panel prior to the cutting member being moved to the cutting position.

  • Publication number: 20250094463
    Abstract: A system and method to receive a search query input from an end user system, wherein the search query input relates to information associated with a merchant system. In view of the search query, a document associated with the merchant system is identified. A set of portions of the document are identified. A keyword-matching density level is determined for each portion of the set of portions of the document. A selected portion of the set of portions having a highest relative keyword-matching density level is identified. A graphical user interface including a search result responsive to the search query is generated, the graphical user interface including the selected portion of the document.

  • Publication number: 20240394236
    Abstract: A system and method to generate search results in response to a search query based on comparisons of embedding vectors. The system and method receive, from an end user system, a search query including a set of keywords associated with the entity. Using a neural network, an embedding vector is identified based on the set of keywords of the search query. The system and method compares the embedding vector associated with the search query to a set of embedding vectors associated with a set of structured data elements relating to the entity. Based on the comparison, a set of matching structured data elements is identified. The system and method generate a search result in response to the search query, wherein the search result includes at least a portion of the set of matching structured data elements. The search result is displayed via an interface of the end user system.

  • Publication number: 20240257206
    Abstract: A system and method to receive a search query including a set of search terms associated with a merchant system. A machine-learning model is executed to identify a first subset of one or more multi-term phrases associated with one or more named entity types. A set of tokens corresponding to the search query is generated, wherein the set of tokens comprises a token associated with each of the first subset of one or more multi-term phrases. A comparison of the set of tokens to a document index associated with the merchant system is executed to identify one or more matching documents. Based on the comparison, a set of search results comprising the one or more matching documents is generated.

  • Patent number: 12046419
    Abstract: Apparatus and associated methods relate to a pick & place system that uses a magnetic core for both magnetic coupling with an assembly component and heating of the assembly component. The magnetic core has a component engagement surface configured to magnetically and thermally engage the component. A controller is configured to provide both AC current and DC current to an inductive coil wound about the magnetic core. DC current provided to the inductive coil induces a magnetic field within the magnetic core, thereby magnetically attracting the component when engaged with the component engagement surface. AC current provided to the magnetic core inductively heats the magnetic core, thereby heating the component when engaged with the component engagement surface.

  • Publication number: 20230287926
    Abstract: A locking plate for a locking arrangement includes a body that is defined by a first planar surface and a second planar surface that is opposite the first planar surface. The body has an arcuate shape that extends from a first lateral end to a second lateral end and extends from a radially inward facing edge to a radially outward facing edge. A single elongated curved opening extends through the body from the first planar surface to the second planar surface and extends an intermediate arc length in the body. An anti-rotation feature extends radially inward from the radially inward facing edge. The body has an anti-tilt lobe located proximate one or more of the first lateral end and the second lateral end.
