  • Publication number: 20160300023
    Abstract: System and methods for generating provider quality ratings are described. One exemplary method includes establishing, with a collection processor, a listing of locations containing user comments relating to a plurality of providers. The collection processor collects user comments relating to a provider from the listing of locations. The user comments are normalized and stored in a normalized user comment database. Next, a natural language processor analyzes the normalized user comments using sentiment analysis. A provider rating is determined from the sentiment analysis provider rating and transmitted to a display device.

  • Publication number: 20150057055
    Abstract: Provided herein are new apparatus and methods relating to the protective covering of remote speaker microphones of two-way radio systems, including radio systems used and worn by emergency response personnel in extreme environments such as structure fires, among others. The apparatus and methods eliminate or reduce the accumulation of water, dust, and debris, thereby reducing or eliminating garbled communications from the user that would otherwise result from the blocking of sound to the microphone by water, dust, or debris. Such garbled communications pose a significant threat to the user, especially in hostile environments where effective and reliable radio communication is a matter of life and death.

  • Patent number: 8827226
    Abstract: A dual method of installing a mounting device to a load-bearing surface includes a mounting device having a back member installed closer to the load-bearing surface than a front member on which an object is mounted. A mounting member is either attached to the back member in a first configuration or the mounting member is attached to the back member in a second configuration. The mounting member is attached to the load-bearing surface such that the load-bearing surface is between the back member and the front member in the first configuration. The back member is between the load-bearing surface and the front member in the second configuration.

  • Patent number: 8288684
    Abstract: A laser micro-machining system includes a laser source positioned to direct a laser pulse through a scan lens to a work piece mounted on a work surface and a mirror positioned between the scan lens and the work piece and tilted with respect to the work surface to reflect the laser pulse toward the work piece. The mirror can be indexed to a number of positions so that only portions of the mirror are used for a number of processing steps, extending the life of the mirror.
