Abstract: Systems and methods for identifying individuals with a user-requested expertise are provided. For example, the system can include a processor configured to receive a user input and extract one or more keywords from the input. The processor can generate search requests based upon the one or more keywords, each search request identifying at least one application programming interface (API) call configured to invoke at least one API function as exposed by a software application. The processor can transmit the search requests to the software applications and receive search responses. The processor can determine a plurality of software application users and a set of associated evidence, each set of associated evidence including user interactions with each of the software applications. The processor can aggregate the evidence into an aggregated data set and configure the aggregated data set as an input to a machine learning classifier for ranking the sets of evidence.

Abstract: The present invention relates to airfoils having surface treatments to reduce trailing edge noise. The surface treatment is designed to reduce trailing edge noise by modifying the boundary layer turbulence as it approaches the trailing edge. The surface treatment accomplishes its function by breaking up spanwise-oriented turbulence approaching the trailing edge, thereby reducing the spanwise correlation lengthscales; deflecting the boundary layer turbulence away from the edge; and/or creating spanwise vortices or instability waves to reduce the turbulence-edge interaction.

Abstract: A putting system that utilizes a computing system to process signals from sensors that are built into the apparatus is described. The sensors track a golf ball rolling along a putting mat to determine both the speed and location of the putt. The system then communicates to the player's smartphone or other connected device to facilitate analysis of the putt attempt and to relay putt information to a central server for storage, game interactions, and comparative analysis against other players. Using applications that run on the player's mobile device, tablet, tv, or computer, real-time and historical analyses are presented to the player. Games against other players locally or connected through the internet expand the experience in novel and challenging ways. Overall, the putting system aims to provide a more useful and engaging putting experience through statistical tracking and analysis, meaningful feedback to the user, and the inclusion of multiplayer elements.

Abstract: A male part and a female part can reversibly couple aircraft to one another using an attachment mechanism. The male part includes a wall forming a shaft and is operable to attach to a first aircraft. The female part includes a wall forming a cavity and is operable to attach to a second aircraft. The attachment mechanism can regulate a mechanical engagement between the shaft on the male part and the cavity on the female part while the first aircraft and the second aircraft are airborne or on land. The attachment mechanism is operable to switch between an engaged position and a disengaged position. In the engaged position, the attachment mechanism initiates the mechanical engagement to rigidly attach the first and the second aircraft to one another. In the disengaged position, the attachment mechanism discontinues the mechanical engagement to detach the first and the second aircraft from one another.

Abstract: A method and computing system are provided for identifying a plurality of indicators of hierarchy within a document. A hierarchical level associated with each of the plurality of indicators may be determined. One or more portions of the document may be associated with a respective hierarchical level associated with each of the plurality of indicators.

Abstract: A method and computing system are provided for determining a hierarchical structure associated with a document. The hierarchical structure may be associated with a plurality of elements of the document. A map of the document may be generated. The map may include a plurality of links to one or more of the elements of the document.

Abstract: A method and computing system are provided for processing a document to associate a plurality of items within the document with a group. A first item included within the group may be modified. All other items in the group may also be modified based on the modified first item.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method and computing system are provided for defining a plurality of data groups. A set of rules may be associated with each of the data groups. The set of rules may define examples of items that should be included in each group. A document may be processed to identify elements within the document that adhere to a set of rules.

Abstract: A retractable heel for a shoe is described herein comprising an upper heel body and a retractable lower heel body. The lower heel body is may be placed in at least two configurations. In a first configuration, with the lower heel body retracted, the upper heel body may contact the ground when the shoe is worn. In a second configuration, with the lower heel body not retracted, the upper heel body may not contact the ground when the shoe is worn, being prevented from doing so by the lower heel body.

Abstract: Protective gear for a user having an inner panel and an outer panel that is configured so the user can use: only the outer panel; only the inner panel; or both panels together. This allows the user to launder, change and/or replace either panel, without sacrificing the utility of the other panel. The outer panel and the inner panel are temporarily attached to one another when used together. The outer panel's top edge along the user's nose and below the eyes is reinforced with a pliable material, allowing the user to form the top edge of the outer panel to the user's nose and face. There is a small gap in the reinforcements at the nose area, which allows the protective gear to be folded and stored. Both the inner panel and outer panel are formed to cover the user's nose and to accommodate the eye protection worn by the user.
