  • Patent number: 12039535
    Abstract: The disclosed exemplary embodiments include computer-implemented systems, apparatuses, and processes that, among other things, generate and provision digital tokens based on dynamically obtained contextual data. For example, an apparatus may receive first information that characterizes an exchange of data initiated by a first application program executed by the apparatus, and may generate and transmit a signal to a computing system through a programmatic interface associated with a second application program executed by the apparatus. In some instances, the first signal may include the first information and data that instructs the computing system to obtain a digital token representative of a data type available for use in the data exchange. The apparatus may also receive a second signal that includes the digital token and based on the digital token, perform operations that present second information characterizing the available data type on an interface.

  • Publication number: 20240186129
    Abstract: A night vision system, a microchannel plate (MCP), and a planetary deposition system and methodology are provided for selectively depositing an electrode contact metal on one side of MCP channel openings. MCPs can be secured to a face of a platter that rotates about its central platter axis. The rotating platter can be tilted on a fixture surrounding an evaporative source of contact metal. A mask with a variable size mask opening is arranged between the rotating platter and the evaporative source. While the mask orbits around the evaporative source with the rotating platter, the mask does not rotate along its own axis as does the rotating platter. Depending on the opening of the non-rotating mask, and the tilt angle of the rotating platter, the respective circumferential distance around and the depth into the shaded first side of the channel opening is controlled.

  • Patent number: 11948786
    Abstract: A night vision system, a microchannel plate (MCP), and a planetary deposition system and methodology are provided for selectively depositing an electrode contact metal on one side of MCP channel openings. One or more MCPs can be releasably secured to a face of a platter that rotates about its central platter axis. The rotating platter can be tilted on a rotating ring fixture surrounding an evaporative source of contact metal. Therefore, the rotating platter further rotates so that it orbits around the evaporative source of contact metal. A mask with a variable size mask opening is arranged between the rotating platter and the evaporative source. While the mask orbits around the evaporative source with the rotating platter, the mask does not rotate along its own axis as does the rotating platter.

  • Publication number: 20220351633
    Abstract: A learner engagement engine provides a unique way to track and measure a learner's engagement across a plurality of different learning resources. In preferred embodiments, the learning engagement engine measures learner's engagement activities at the most detailed level (such as at a paragraph level, instead of a chapter or book level). This allows the learner engagement engine to easily aggregate learner activities, even when a course structure or context are changed during the course.

  • Publication number: 20220220682
    Abstract: A mobile vehicle mounted dry filtration system to support a grinder system used for removal of markings, creating rumble strips, or the like. Blowers create a vacuum for drawing debris and dust from the grinder system into a debris bin. Large debris is removed from the vacuum draw and remains in the bin for later disposal. Small particles and dust are drawn into parallel positioned filter cyclones that have a cyclonic separation followed by flexible and inexpensive bag filters. The flexible filters are cleaned using vibrating diaphragms mounted on the top of the filter cyclones subject to a reverse air flow by the blowers using slide valves. A polishing tank containing water receives the exhaust from the filter cyclones for removal of airborne particles and sound suppression.

  • Publication number: 20220198951
    Abstract: A system including a computer server implementing a learning resource configured to monitor a user interaction with the learning resource, and encode, based on the user interactions, a user event. The system includes a computer server implementing an event processor. The event processor is configured to receive, from the computer server, the user event, parse the user event to determine the identifications of the user generating the user event, the assessment item, and the learning resource, and the indication of whether the user event is associated with a correct answer or an incorrect answer, and store, in an analytics storage database, a data record including the identification of the user generating the user event, the assessment item, the learning resource, and the indication of whether the user event is associated with a correct answer or an incorrect answer.
