  • Patent number: 11919686
    Abstract: A container for housing a liquid-filled bag has at least four walls including first and second side walls, a front wall, and a back wall. The front wall has a front wall panel, and the back wall has a back wall panel interconnected with first and second side wall panels. A first inner shield flap is coupled to the front wall panel, a second inner shield flap is coupled to the back wall panel, and a first top flap is coupled to the first side wall panel. The first top flap defines a first handhold opening. A second top flap is coupled to the second side wall panel and defines a second handhold opening. The first and second handhold openings overlap to define a handhold when the second top flap is folded over the first top flap. The handhold is offset from free ends of the first and second inner shield flaps.

  • Patent number: 11907904
    Abstract: Disclosed is a new intelligent forms automation solution for receiving a request or submission involving multiple types of non-native forms in a consistent manner. An engine locates a field in a non-native form, extracts a globally unique identifier (GUID) from the field and form data from data fields of the non-native form. The GUID is used by the engine to identify and retrieve a virtual copy of a native form identified. The engine fills the virtual copy of the native form with form data from the non-native form. Since the native form can have an associated workflow process, the form data from the non-native form is processed through the workflow. The native form and the non-native form can be created independently of one another. In some cases, a native form can be used to create a non-native form with a hidden field containing the GUID of the native form.

  • Publication number: 20240028636
    Abstract: A method for classifying a set of source files of reality capture data into an asset class of digital reality capture assets may include receiving, from a user device, a set of payloads including metadata of the set of source files of the reality capture data corresponding to a region of interest captured by a camera. The method may include classifying the set of source files of the reality capture data into the asset class of the digital reality capture assets, based on the set of payloads including the metadata of the set of source files of the reality capture data. The method may include providing, to the user device, information identifying the asset class of the digital reality capture assets to which the set of source files are classified to permit a digital reality capture asset, corresponding to the asset class, of the region of interest to be generated based on the set of source files.

  • Publication number: 20230302472
    Abstract: This disclosure provides an improved nozzle assembly. The nozzle assembly includes a spray element for jetting media through an outlet (e.g. onto a surface), an active conduit for supplying a first media to the spray element, and a passive conduit for supplying a feed of a second media to the spray element. The spray element includes an eductor that is actively fed with a pressurized stream of the first media (i.e., motive fluid) via an annular injection port coupled to the active conduit, and passively fed by the second media via an intake duct disposed cen-trally within the injection port. The eductor utilizes the Venturi effect to efficiently prepare a homogenized media jet from the two different media feeds. A system comprising the nozzle assembly, and methods of using each of the same, are also disclosed.
