  • Patent number: 12319382
    Abstract: A control device mountable to a handlebar of a bicycle includes a housing, a lever coupled to and pivotable relative to the housing, and a master cylinder portion supported by the housing. The master cylinder portion has a fluid cylinder. The fluid cylinder has a first end and a second end opposite the first end with a cylindrical wall therebetween. An opening extends through the master cylinder portion, from the first end to the second end. The control device also includes a plug removably connected to the master cylinder portion via the opening at the first end of the fluid cylinder, and a piston assembly supported by the housing. The piston assembly is movable relative to the master cylinder portion. The housing is made of a first material, and the master cylinder portion is made of a second material. The second material is different than the first material.

  • Publication number: 20250053735
    Abstract: A method of electronic communication assistance involves receiving a partial electronic communication at an AI assistant computing facility from a first electronic identifier linked to a first user. This communication includes content associated with both the first user and a second user. The method extracts the communication context and encodes the partial communication for processing, creating an encoded version. It retrieves the first user's communication profile from a database using their identifier, containing user attributes, and retrieves the second user's profile similarly. The encoded communication is then processed by a processor to generate a compositional change using at least one of the communication context, the first user communication attribute, or the second user communication attribute. Finally, a revised electronic communication is generated from the partial communication and the compositional change.

  • Publication number: 20220301335
    Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, methods, and computer program products are disclosed for data location mapping and extraction. A method displays a graphical user interface to a user on an electronic display screen for a computing device. A graphical user interface comprises user interface elements allowing the user to identify a plurality of locations within a first document. A method includes receiving user input based on the user interacting with the user interface elements of the graphical user interface to identify the plurality of locations within the first document. A method includes detecting a subsequent document. A method includes extracting data from the subsequent document based on the plurality of locations identified within the first document.

  • Patent number: 10947987
    Abstract: A centrifugal pump, and components thereof, operable at high speeds, is described under the present disclosure. A hard polymer sleeve can be applied to certain surfaces of a seal casing within the pump. If the sleeve is applied along surfaces near the center shaft, then the hard polymer will withstand the forces and pressures of the system. The hard polymer might not be used along the outer diameter, farther from the shaft, because velocities are higher the further out one goes. The current disclosure allows for the use of fluoropolymer in the lining sleeve. The benefits of fluoropolymer have been unavailable in high speed centrifugal pumps because the forces are too great on the periphery of the seal casing. However, the lower speeds along the interior, near the shaft, allow fluoropolymer to be used.
