Patent number: 11157875Abstract: Systems and methods to extract a string from a communication. A method includes: receiving a communication comprising a plurality of strings; assigning a score to each of the strings, wherein the score assigned to each of the strings corresponds to a frequency of usage of the respective string for a first function relative to an overall frequency of usage of the respective string; determining a respective total sum for each of a plurality of sequences in the communication, the respective total sum determined as a sum of the scores for each string in the respective sequence; and extracting a first sequence of the sequences from the communication based on the total sum for the first sequence. In one embodiment, the total sum includes an additional score for each of a starting word and an ending word of the first word sequence, wherein each respective additional score is associated with a probability that the starting (or ending) word is used as the first (or last word) of an address.Type: GrantFiled: May 26, 2018Date of Patent: October 26, 2021Assignee: VERIZON MEDIA INC.Inventors: Richard Earle Seeger, III, Peter Monaco

Patent number: 10815754Abstract: A splitflow valve comprises a tubular body, a valve element and a lock. The tubular body defines a through hole and has at least one lateral bypass port. The valve element defines a flow restriction and is moveable along the through hole along a first direction between a first position and a second position, wherein the bypass port is closed by the valve element in the first position. In the second position the bypass port is open. The lock maintains the valve element in the second position wherein a flow of fluid entering the through hole of the tubular body is split into a first flow portion passing the flow restriction and a second flow portion exiting the at least one bypass port. Further, the lock is deactivatable to allow the valve element to return to the first position.Type: GrantFiled: August 23, 2017Date of Patent: October 27, 2020Assignee: SCHOELLER-BLECKMANN OILFIELD EQUIPMENT AGInventors: Richard Earle, Nathan Strilchuk

Patent number: 6352550Abstract: Flexible multijoint thermal therapy pads which are dimensioned and structured to promote effective thermal therapy by promoting increased flexibility, comfort, convenience and heat transfer when applied to a range of joints in the body. Pads according to the present invention feature distinct members each of which corresponds to and may be applied to conform to a limb or body part surrounding the knee, shoulder and other joints. The pads connect these members using at least one conduit that is not substantially centered on the kneecap or top of the shoulder when they are applied for thermal therapy on the knee or shoulder, respectively. The pads thus do not blindly adhere to traditional multijoint notions of symmetry, but instead opt for increased flexibility, prevention of undesired blockage or occlusion during joint flexure and restriction of range of motion.Type: GrantFiled: September 12, 2000Date of Patent: March 5, 2002Assignee: DJ Orthopedics, LLCInventors: Richard Earle Gildersleeve, David Winer

Patent number: 5823307Abstract: An active vibration isolation system (10) includes a plurality of stiff actuators, such as piezoelectric motors (12a-c; 284, 350) which support a small mass (18) inside of a case (300). A passive isolator (20) is interposed between the small mass (18) and the payload mass (M.sub.p). In the instance where the stiff actuators are piezoelectric motors, the sidewalls of the case (300) are used to provide compressive force along the variable length of each of the horizontal piezoelectric motor elements (284, 350) to prevent damage to same. Compensation circuitry (24) is connected between velocity sensors (17) and the stiff actuators to control the variable length thereof in this move-out-of-the-way system (10) and to compensate for resonating modes. Optionally, a payload mass velocity sensor (26) and associated circuitry may be used to provide additional control.Type: GrantFiled: May 2, 1997Date of Patent: October 20, 1998Assignee: Technical Manufacturing CorporationInventors: Dale W.
