  • Publication number: 20260091722
    Abstract: Transfer ramp systems, including transfer ramp systems for loading, unloading, or transferring cargo between one or more commercial vehicles, are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a transfer ramp system comprises a transfer ramp and at least one extendable arm attached to the transfer ramp. The at least one extendable arm is usable to extend or retract the transfer ramp. The transfer ramp system is mountable beneath a top platform of a vehicle or trailer. When the transfer ramp system is mounted beneath the top platform, the transfer ramp is moveable between (a) a stowed position in which the transfer ramp is positioned beneath the top platform and (b) a deployed position in which the transfer ramp is usable to bridge a gap between the top platform and another structure for moving cargo between (i) the other structure and (ii) the vehicle or trailer.

  • Patent number: 9678928
    Abstract: According to some embodiments, the present technology is directed to a method for rendering a webpage. The method comprises receiving a URL of the webpage and fetching a file from a server designated by the URL, the fetched file including source code describing the webpage. The method further includes parsing the source code to catalog resources used for rendering the webpage and determining a priority for each resource. For each resource, the method includes fetching the resource if the priority exceeds a threshold, and omitting the resource if the priority does not exceed the threshold. The method also includes generating a representation of the webpage using the fetched resources, the generated representation being a transformation of an intended representation for the webpage.

  • Patent number: 8121970
    Abstract: A method for identifying primary product objects on webpages over the Internet. A primary product object displays the best view of the product that a webpage is detailing. Each webpage is divided into sections based on the primary product objects in the webpage. Features of candidate product objects in each section are extracted. The primary product objects are identified by computing probabilities of the candidate product objects in each section being primary product objects, based on a statistical model. The identified primary product objects are stored for subsequent retrieval and display.

  • Patent number: 7693804
    Abstract: Methods, systems and computer program products for identifying primary product objects on a web page. A primary product object is the object that shows the best view of the product the web page is detailing. A set of features is extracted for one or more objects on the web page. The primary product objects are identified by computing the probabilities of one or more objects on the web page being a primary product object, the probabilities indicating the likelihood of the one or more objects being the primary product object. The probabilities are computed by querying a statistical model.

  • Patent number: 4990908
    Abstract: A remote load control system selectively applies power to a ceiling fan and a light from a wall control unit installed in an existing on/off wall switch location. A counter in a control logic circuit is clocked by the AC power input waveform and generates unique control logic signals corresponding to the status of mode select switches. The control logic circuit selectively clips one or more positive half cycles of the input power waveform following a full cycle in response to the actuation of a selected one of the mode select switches. A full AC power waveform corresponding with normal operation is generated when no mode switch is actuated. The control logic signals are input to a gate circuit which controls the on/off operation of a gate controlled power switch. According to this arrangement, mode select signals having a selected number (1, 2, 3 or 4) of positive half cycles of the AC power waveform are clipped following a full cycle of the AC power waveform.

  • Patent number: 3969618
    Abstract: Apparatus for the automatic inspecting, programming and testing of programmable read-only memory (PROM) devices. Under computer control, this PROM Handling System will test a sequence of PROMs against new part specifications, program them in any sequence of bit patterns required by the next piece of machinery on the assembly line, mark the PROM with a four digit part number identifying the bit pattern contained therein, dry the ink in a heated chamber for a fixed amount of time, dynamically test each PROM bit for access time in a hot and cold environment, program and test replacement PROMs for the ones that had failed at any point in the process, sort the PROMs into the correct order as required by the next assembly line machine and output said tested and ordered parts into output sticks for manual delivery or automatically deliver them by a track arrangement to the next machine.
