  • Patent number: 11865570
    Abstract: A longitudinally adjustable flow divider situated in the particulate material path of a spinner spreader between the bin and the rotatable disc divides the particulate material so that the particulate material is dischargeable on to the upper surface of the rotatable disc on first and second laterally spaced apart longitudinally oriented drop lines. An actuator operably connected to the flow divider adjusts a longitudinal position of the flow divider to longitudinally adjust drop points on the drop lines at which the particulate material is dischargeable on to the rotatable disc. Longitudinal adjustment of the drop points along laterally spaced apart drop lines on one spinner disc permits control over spread pattern to help achieve uniform distribution of the particulate material on a ground surface.

  • Publication number: 20230302349
    Abstract: A math game that requires choice and strategic thinking in the practice of multiplication. Play takes place on a game board which consists of a grid of randomly arranged multiplication products. Players are given a “hand” of three or more numbered cards, with each number representing a factor in a multiplication problem. Players take turns choosing two of the factors in their hand to create a product which they mark on the game board. The first player to obtain the required number of marked products in a row, horizontally, vertically, or diagonally, wins the game. By choosing which factors they multiply, players can make offensive or defensive moves in their attempt to be the first to mark the required number of products in a row.

  • Patent number: 11660633
    Abstract: A method of controlling spread pattern of a particulate material broadcasted by a spinner spreader involves permitting particulate material to flow through a plurality of sluices situated in a particulate material path between a bin and a rotatable disc of a spinner spreader. Each sluice receives a portion of the particulate material and delivers the portion of particulate material to a radial and/or angular position on the rotatable disc. The radial and/or angular position on the rotatable disc to which the portion of particulate material from at least one of sluices is delivered is adjusted by longitudinally translating the at least one independently moveable sluice independent of all other sluices of the plurality of sluices to change position of the at least one independently moveable sluice relative to the rotating disc thereby changing the spread pattern of the particulate material broadcasted by the rotatable disc.

  • Patent number: 11198149
    Abstract: An apparatus for spreading particulate material has a bin for holding particulate material, a rotatable disc for broadcasting the particulate material to a ground surface, a conveyor for conveying the particulate material in a particulate material path from the hopper to the rotatable disc, and a plurality of sluices situated in the particulate material path between the bin and the rotatable disc. Each sluice receives a portion of the particulate material and delivers the portion of particulate material to a radial and/or angular position on the rotatable disc. At least one of the sluices is independently moveable to adjust the radial and/or angular position on the rotatable disc to which the portion of particulate material from the at least one independently moveable sluice is delivered.

  • Patent number: 10979290
    Abstract: The subject disclosure relates to techniques for monitoring contextual and performance information of a device for anticipatorily sending update information to the device. An interface component can receive, from the client, contextual information indicating an operating environment of the client and performance information that is associated with one or more operations being performed by the client based on the operating environment, and send, based on correlation information, update information to the client. Further, a service component can to infer a relationship between the contextual information and the performance information to obtain the correlation information. In other embodiments, a client can populate a cache with portion(s) of the contextual information to obtain cached information, and send at least a portion of the cached information to a system including one or more aspects of the service component.

  • Patent number: 10699011
    Abstract: A system and method for efficiently determining that a received file is not malware is presented. In operation, when a file is received at a computing device, an evaluation is made as to whether the file includes user-modifiable, or superficial, data areas, i.e., areas of the file that by their nature do not typically carry or embed malware. If the file includes superficial data areas, those superficial data areas are filtered out and a file signature is generated based on the remaining portions of the received file. The file can then be compared to a list of know malware to determine if the file is malware. Alternatively, the file can be compared to a list of known, trusted files to determine whether the file is trustworthy.

  • Patent number: 9166797
    Abstract: Systems and methods that establish a secured compartment that manages sensitive user transactions/information on a user's machine. The secured compartment qualifies user interaction with the machine, and separates such qualified interaction from other user activity on the machine. A user is switched to such secured compartment upon occurrence of a predetermined event, such as in form of: an explicit request (e.g., a secure attention sequence); an implicit request (e.g., inference of user activities); and presence of a peripheral device that is bound to the secured compartment (e.g., a USB)—wherein such actions typically cannot be generated by an application running outside the secured compartment.
