Publication number: 20240028645Abstract: Graph elements can be ranked based on node property criteria. For example, a computing system can present, via a user interface of a user device, a graph that includes a plurality of nodes and a plurality of edges between the plurality of nodes. The plurality of nodes represent entities and the plurality of edges represent relationships between the entities. The computing device can receive a criteria related to node properties of the plurality of nodes for ranking the plurality of nodes in the graph. The computing device can generate a ranking of the plurality of nodes based on the criteria. The computing device can receive a condition associated with the ranking of the plurality of nodes and determine a subset of the plurality of nodes that satisfy the condition. The computing device can perform an action associated with the subset of the plurality of nodes that satisfy the condition.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 19, 2022Publication date: January 25, 2024Inventors: Pavol Loffay, Nicholas Fox, John Joseph Mazzitelli

Publication number: 20220409370Abstract: A delivery device includes a handle, a sheath distally extending from the handle, a capsule distally extending from the sheath, and a pull wire having a proximal end attached to the handle and a distal end attached to the capsule. The sheath defines a central lumen there-through and has a longitudinally-extending lumen formed within a wall of the sheath. The capsule has a tubular body with an intermediate region having a plurality of ribs and a plurality of slots defined therein. The capsule includes an indented segment defined on the tubular body, the indented segment being disposed radially inward relative to the tubular body. The pull wire is tensioned to bend the capsule. The pull wire is slidably disposed within the longitudinally-extending lumen of the sheath and along an inner surface of the tubular body of the capsule with a portion of the pull wire crossing over an outer surface of the indented segment.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 29, 2022Publication date: December 29, 2022Inventors: Niall CROSBIE, Constantin CIOBANU, Tomas GILSON, Nicholas FOX

Patent number: 11412777Abstract: A method of determining the density of an elongate rod of material as it travels in a longitudinal direction through an inspection zone of apparatus for determining the density of an elongate rod of material is disclosed. The method comprises: positioning an X-ray generator of said apparatus to transmit X-rays in a direction across the elongate rod and towards a detector of said apparatus, as the elongate rod travels in a longitudinal direction through said inspection zone of said apparatus; supplying a voltage to the X-ray generator of between 20 to 80 kV to transmit the X-rays at a predetermined intensity; detecting the intensity of the X-rays transmitted through the elongate rod using the detector, and determining a density of the elongate rod based on a comparison of the predetermined and detected intensities. A method of manufacturing tobacco industry products that includes the above inspection method is also disclosed, together with apparatus for determining the density of an elongate rod of material.Type: GrantFiled: October 9, 2018Date of Patent: August 16, 2022Assignee: BRITISH AMERICAN TOBACCO (INVESTMENTS) LIMITEDInventors: Sam Whiffen, Gary Fallon, Chris Daly, Nicholas Fox
