  • Patent number: 11170189
    Abstract: The imaging system includes a rotating element that is configured to rotate about a central axis. A plurality of scanners are fixedly attached with the rotating element. Each scanner has a lens that faces generally towards the central axis, and the scanners are spaced apart from one another around the central axis. The scanners are configured to identify an optically readable machine readable code contained on the medication container. An actuator is operably connected with the rotating element and is configured to rotate the rotating element and the scanners around the central axis from respective e first positions to respective second positions to allow the scanners to image different areas of the medication container in response to a failure of the scanners to identify the machine readable code when the scanners were in the respective first positions.

  • Publication number: 20210270179
    Abstract: An engine is disclosed having a water cooling system allowing efficient cooling of the exhaust valves to prevent temperature gradients from building in the engine. Water is therefore pumped through the engine though first and second water cooling cores which discharge through the head. A water manifold is positioned over the discharge opening and includes couplings for the radiator supply, radiator return, water pump supply, oil cooler supply and oil cooler return. The engine has separate chambers to isolate the pistons and cylinders, and reed valves cover the chambers and allow the blow-by gases and oil to enter the oil pan during the power stroke of the engine cycle.

  • Patent number: 10671589
    Abstract: A system may utilize a combination of real-time and polling connectors for data crawling. A real-time connector may use a collector to write data associated with a new event from a database to a channel and record external identifiers (IDs) associated the data. A polling connector may use a verifier to compare the recorded IDs with IDs associated with a batch of data, and may write any data of the batch of data to the channel that has not been written previously written by the collector. The system may include an onboarder for reading data previously stored in the database.

  • Patent number: 10552429
    Abstract: Data assets, such as streams, databases, spreadsheets, or other data sources or types, are identified and representations of the data asset are stored. The representation of a data asset includes a schema used by the data asset, a location of the data asset, and keywords or other descriptive information. The representations of each data asset are indexed, and a search interface is provided that allows users to search for relevant data assets. In addition, dependencies, or other relationship information, among the various data assets is maintained and is used to generate a graph that shows the interrelatedness of the data assets. The graph can be explored by users to select data assets, and used to alert users when a change has been made to a data asset that may affect a data asset that they have used.

  • Patent number: 10533695
    Abstract: There is provided an expandable pipeline pig for a varying diameter pipeline having a pig body that carries two or more guides and one or more actuators. Each guide has a resilient body with a folding zone between an outer perimeter and a central area connected to the pig body, a series of support members spaced circumferentially about the resilient body within the folding zone, and a series of collapsing structures positioned between, and integrally formed with, adjacent support members. The actuators selectively release the guides from a reduced to an expanded mode. In the expanded mode the support members extend outward and the collapsing structures are expanded between the support members. In the reduced mode the support members are folded toward the pig body and the collapsing structures are collapsed to reduce a circumference of the resilient body outer perimeter. The support members are biased toward the expanded mode.

  • Patent number: 10299626
    Abstract: A charcoal grill includes a vessel configured to hold and burn charcoal for cooking food. The charcoal grill may include a receptacle moveable between a first position in which the receptacle is positioned for collecting ashes from charcoal burned in the vessel and a second position in which the receptacle is separated from the vessel for disposal of the collected ashes. Additionally, or alternatively, the vessel may define a passage extending from an exterior side of the vessel to an interior side of the vessel for permitting a starter device to be inserted into the passage for igniting charcoal within the vessel. Additionally, or alternatively, the charcoal grill may include a vent system including at least one vent opening extending through a portion of the vessel, a vent cover movable with respect to the vent opening between a closed position and an open position, and at least one calibration associated with the vent cover between the closed position and the open position.

  • Publication number: 20190138653
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for analyzing communication messages (e.g., emails or activities) to determine relationship strength using a distributed graph are described. In some systems, a user may be associated with a specific tenant. A database server of the system may receive communication messages associated with the user and a target user. The server may perform a natural language processing (NLP) analysis on the communication messages to extract metadata, and may generate or update a distributed graph indicating connections between users based on the extracted metadata. Using the connections of the graph, the server may calculate a closeness score between the user and the target user. Additionally, the server may calculate closeness scores between the target and other users associated with the tenant, and may determine the users with the greatest closeness scores. The server may send a suggestion for the determined users to initiate communication with the target.
