Abstract: A torque impact mitigator including a housing assembly having a hydraulic cylinder. A piston is disposed within the hydraulic cylinder. A piston rod is mounted at a first end to the piston and having a second end extending out from the compression end. A compression spring is disposed between the piston and an end of the cylinder. A rod clevis is secured to the second end of the piston rod to compress the compression spring into a compressed state when the rod clevis is moved away from the cylinder and to release the compression spring into a relaxed state when the rod clevis is moved towards the cylinder. A plug is disposed within an upper end of the compression spring and having a bore extending therethrough to receive the piston rod. One or more bores are disposed through the piston to allow passage of hydraulic fluid into the hydraulic cylinder.

Abstract: Embodiments are directed to computer-implemented methods of operating a monitoring host of a performance management infrastructure. The method includes receiving, using natural language processing (NLP) algorithms, training data that includes operational data and functionality data. The operational data represents natural language descriptions of performance problems identified for an application computer program running a computing system. The functionality data represents natural language descriptions of functional capabilities of the application computer program. The NLP algorithms and a classifier are used to extract features of the training data. The extracted features are used to build a semantic correlation model that includes correlated data sets, wherein each of the correlated data sets includes functionality data and operational data having a semantic correlation to functionality data.

Abstract: The present dosure relates to beverage container (10) that includes a lower vessel (12) having a lower vessel neck (16), an upper vessel (22) that is attached to the lower vessel neck (16) and is sized and shaped to hold a liquid therein, a removable cap (40) that is attached to the upper vessel (22), a vessel seal (42) that serves as a liquid- tight barrier between the interior of the upper vessel (22) and the interior of the lower vessel (12), and a tether (44) attached to the vessel seal (42) at one end and the removable cap (40) at the other end. When the removable cap (40) is twisted or removed, it pulls on the tether (44), which pulls and releases the vessel seal (42), thereby allowing liquid from inside the upper vessel (22) to enter the interior of the lower vessel (12).
