  • Publication number: 20220067303
    Abstract: In general, techniques are described for various aspects of accessing datasets. A device comprising a memory configured to store the dataset, and a processor may be configured to perform the techniques. The processor may expose a language sub-surface specifying a natural language containment hierarchy defining a grammar for a natural language as a hierarchical arrangement of a plurality of language sub-surfaces. The processor may receive a query to access the dataset, the query conforming to a portion of the natural language provided by the exposed language sub-surface. The processor may transform the query into one or more statements that conform to a formal syntax associated with the dataset, access, based on the one or more statements, the dataset to obtain a query result, and output the query result.

  • Publication number: 20220067591
    Abstract: In general, techniques are described for various aspects of accessing datasets. A device comprising a memory configured to store the multi-dimensional dataset; a processor may perform the techniques. The processor may apply a plurality of machine learning models to the multi-dimensional dataset to obtain a result output by each of the plurality of machine learning models. The processor may next determine a correlation of one or more dimensions of the multi-dimensional dataset to the results output by each of the machine learning models, and select, based on the correlation determined between the dimensions and the result output by each of the machine learning models, a subset of the plurality of machine learning models to obtain the result for each of the subset of the machine learning models. The processor may then output the result for each of the subset of the plurality of machine learning models.

  • Patent number: 10092967
    Abstract: A one piece three-sided hardened steel boot tip for a distal end upper jaw tang of a heavy duty demolition shear having a upper movable shear jaw with a shear tip or tang. The boot tip has a front wall seated on the tang front edge and a right sidewall. A bottom wall of the boot tip is seated on the tang bottom seat forming a shear punching edge between the front wall and the bottom wall. A sidewall is connected to the tang bottom and front walls with a shearing edge between the side and bottom walls. A side plate with an indexing hub is seated on the guide side tang face, the top seat and the rear seat.

  • Patent number: 10071431
    Abstract: A one piece four-sided hardened steel boot tip is mounted to a distal end upper jaw tang of a heavy duty demolition. The boot tip has a front wall seated on the tang front edge and a right side wall seated on the shear side tang face and radiused or curved rear seat. A top wall has a radiused inside top wall that sits on the radiused tang top seat. A bottom wall of the boot tip has a radiused inside top wall that is seated on the tang radiused bottom seat forming a shear punching edge between the front wall and the bottom wall. The boot tip has a shear side shearing edge that is between the sidewall and the bottom wall of the boot tip. An access or side plate is seated on the guide side tang face, a portion of the radiused boot bottom wall and the radiused rear seat. The side plate is flush with the bottom and front walls.

  • Patent number: 9713848
    Abstract: A one piece four-sided hardened steel boot tip for a distal end upper jaw tang of a heavy duty demolition shear having a upper movable shear jaw with a shear tip or tang. The tang has a front edge, side faces with apertures therethrough, a top seat, a rear seat and a bottom seat. The boot tip has a front wall seated on the tang front edge and a right side wall seated on the shear side tang face, rear seat and the top seat. A bottom wall of the boot tip is seated on the tang bottom seat and rear seat forming a shear punching edge between the front wall and the bottom wall. An access plate is seated on the guide side tang face, the top seat and the rear seat. The boot tip right side and access plate have matching apertures therethrough and alignable with the tang apertures to secure the boot and access plate to the tang. One or more shims may be used against the tang faces.

  • Publication number: 20170036281
    Abstract: A one piece four-sided hardened steel boot tip for a distal end upper jaw tang of a heavy duty demolition shear having a upper movable shear jaw with a shear tip or tang, a shear side and a guide side pivotally connected to a lower fixed or movable shear jaw with a shear blade side, a guide side, a distal tie plate and a recess therebetween. The tang has a front edge, side faces with apertures therethrough, a radiused top seat, a radiused rear seat and a radiused bottom seat. The boot tip has a front wall seated on the tang front edge and a right side wall seated on the shear side tang face and radiused rear seat. A top wall has a radiused inside top wall that sits on radiused top seat. A bottom wall of the boot tip has a radiused inside top wall that is seated on the tang radiused bottom seat forming a shear punching edge between the front wall and the bottom wall. A shear side shearing edge is between the sidewall and the bottom wall of the boot tip.

  • Patent number: 4545873
    Abstract: The rotating shaft is sealingly mounted in a wall of the vessel by a liquid-tight lip seal. In order to avoid undesired depositions on the seal the latter is made of electroconductive material and connected to the anode of a source of electricity the cathode of which is connected to a counter-electrode within the vessel.

  • Patent number: 4478714
    Abstract: There is described a pressurized filtration system for removing suspended solids from a liquid which comprises two enclosed filter vessels each containing either a removable filter bag or cartridge. The vessels are located in parallel in the circulation line of a pump which pumps the liquid from a bulk storage vessel through only one filter vessel at a time, this being controlled by a valve system in the circulation line to the filter vessels. Liquid forced through the filter vessel in use is pumped to a liquid storage vessel via a non-return valve located in the outlet line from each vessel, the outlet from each vessel having a branch connection to a shuttle valve, the outlet from which is connected via a non-return valve to the suction side of the pump, whereby when liquid is being pumped through one vessel the shuttle valve is shut against the flow of liquid therethrough but is open on the other side so that the liquid can be sucked out of the other vessel.
