  • Publication number: 20240111946
    Abstract: A system, for example, a document management system stores documents and manages workflows associated with documents. The document management system allows discovery of templates based on explicit searches performed by users or automatic searches performed based on a context. The document management system allows generating new document templates based on selected versions of document component templates. The generated document template may be stored as a new version. The document management system instantiates documents based on templates by predicting values of variables used in the template based on various factors that describe the context in which the template is being used. The values used for instantiating variables may be generated using machine learning models that may be trained using historical data stored in the document management system.

  • Publication number: 20080053362
    Abstract: A flagpole ball ornament comprising opposed, hollow, hemispherical parts interfitted to each other at a circular rim formed on one of the parts and interconnected by an elongated diametral rod-like brace member. The brace member is internally threaded at opposite ends for receiving a machine screw to connect one of the hemispherical parts to the brace member and the opposite end of the brace member receives an all-thread member for connecting the ball to a support post member. The brace member may include, alternatively, a bolt clearance bore for receiving an elongated bolt for connection to the post member.

  • Patent number: 7296462
    Abstract: A multi-purpose downhole tool comprising packers for isolating an interval of a downhole formation traversed by a borehole to form a packed-off interval annulus. The tool further comprises a reversible pump and more than one interval access port located between the packers. The ports provide fluid communication with fluid in the packed-off interval annulus. The tool further comprises a fluid conduit system and valves for controlling fluid communication between the interval access ports and the reversible pump. The multi-purpose tool is capable of pumping from the packed-off interval annulus as well as pumping into or “through” the packed-off interval annulus for determining formation pressures as well as introducing well enhancement fluids downhole.
