  • Publication number: 20250146213
    Abstract: This invention relates to a process for making phenolic fatty acid compounds having a reduced phenolic ester content. The invention also relates to method for chemically bonding a phenolic resin with a non-phenolic polymer (e.g., a synthetic fabric). The method comprises contacting a phenolic fatty acid compound with a non-phenolic polymer to introduce a hydroxy phenyl functional group into the non-phenolic polymer; and reacting the hydroxy phenyl functional group contained in the non-phenolic polymer with a phenolic resin or a phenolic crosslinker composition capable of forming a phenolic resin, to chemically bond the phenolic resin with the non-phenolic polymer. The invention is particularly useful for making a synthetic fabric-reinforced article, such as synthetic fabric-reinforced rubber article, circuit board substrate, or fiberglass.

  • Patent number: 12125383
    Abstract: A video analytics based image verification system for obtaining initial vehicle profiles is presented. The system may include an external processing server that receives a location of a vehicle and proximate traffic information to determine whether it is safe for a user to obtain an initial vehicle profile. The external processing server may further determine first and second profile features from video data indicative of the vehicle. The external processing server may compare the second profile feature to an image verification indicator to generate an image verification score. A provider server may receive the first profile feature and the image verification score from the external processing server, and update a risk evaluation to include the initial vehicle profile if the image verification score is above an image verification threshold.

  • Publication number: 20240311759
    Abstract: Systems and methods for analyzing documentation for assessing potential fraudulent user submissions are provided. According to certain aspects, a server computer may receive an initial set of documentation descriptive of damage to a property asset, and may analyze the initial set of documentation to determine whether additional documentation is needed. The server computer may initiate a communication channel with a user device via which the additional documentation may be submitted, and the server computer may similarly analyze the additional documentation to determine a likelihood of fraud. The server computer may process the user submission accordingly.

  • Publication number: 20240301523
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is an example track pad having a ground-contacting portion for use in a track-based machine to propel and support the machine across a supporting surface. The track pad may be a track pad that forms a link of a chain forming the track for the track-based machine. The track pad includes a cast body formed of a first alloy steel having a first strength and toughness. The track pad includes a roll path that contacts a roller of the track-based machine. The roll path is hardened through an induction hardening process to achieve a hardness level at a depth of 32 millimeters or more from the surface of the roll path. The roll path is shaped and positioned to contact rollers of the track drive assembly and thereby reduce wear and fatigue on the track pad as a result of contact and force transferred through the roller.

  • Publication number: 20240296187
    Abstract: A method for automatically classifying datasets is implemented on a computing system. A dataset is received by the computing system from a source wherein the dataset includes a plurality of data entries. The method includes the steps of: providing a plurality of predetermined semantic types; processing the data entries to identify each of the data entries as one of the semantic types, the processing including examining the data entries using two different models; generating a confidence score for each of the models based upon the examination of the data entries; generating a confidence label based upon a predetermined combination of the confidence scores; and generating a classification recommendation for the dataset based upon the identified semantic types and associating the confidence label with the dataset.

  • Patent number: 11994131
    Abstract: A pump for non-flammable liquids has an improved mounting for the motor which facilitates the relatively quick and easy removal of the motor from the pump. The pump has a main body which is hollow and cylindrical. A motor housing is connected to the main body by threads at a first end and has a removable end cap on its second end. The electric motor is located in said motor housing and secured when the end cap is on the motor housing. An electronics housing has a battery adapter plate, a switch, and a discharge port, and encloses wires and electronics such that the motor pumps the liquid from the end cap, through the motor housing and the main body, and out of the discharge port when the switch is turned on.

  • Patent number: 11960501
    Abstract: User profiles of remote desktops are managed in a crash-consistent manner. When a user logs into a remote desktop, metadata of the user profile is loaded from persistent storage while registry settings and files of the user profile are loaded asynchronously with respect to the login. During the remote desktop session, snapshots of the remote desktop image in persistent storage are generated periodically, and a change log that indicates changes to the user profile is created therefrom. The user profile stored in persistent storage is updated lazily using the change log at opportunistic times after snapshot generation. When the user logs out of the remote desktop, the user profile stored in the persistent storage is updated with any additional changes to the user profile by extracting the changes from the copy-on-write cache associated with the most recent snapshot.
