  • Publication number: 20260089292
    Abstract: A meetings hub engine system takes an input of predefined sequences of meetings which defines each meeting including linked objects including conversation starters. The system can automatically score each meeting for meeting quality based on the coverage of the meeting to the defined input and scoring quality definition. The system is also capable of injecting new agenda and topics before the start of a meeting, if required to be discussed by the advisor and client. The engine generates a recording of the meeting and also actions based on the events triggered during the meeting. A synchronization server follows in real-time a first party's instance of the meetings hub engine that is actively running a meeting. An unstructured data interpreter interprets unstructured text in communications between parties and automatically converts this unstructured data into a structured meeting definition.

  • Patent number: 12486097
    Abstract: A beverage insulation device for insulating and carrying a stack of beverage cans includes a sleeve having a base wall and a peripheral wall that is coupled to and extends upwardly from the base wall to define an interior space. The sleeve is cylindrical to receive a first can. The sleeve includes an insulated material for insulating contents of the first can from outside temperatures. A lip coupled to and extending downwardly from the base wall defines a cavity. The cavity is cylindrical to receive a second can. A plurality of tabs is coupled to and extends outwardly from the lip into the cavity. The plurality of tabs engage an outer perimeter of the annular lip of the second can to releasably retain the top surface of the second can within the cavity wherein the first can is stackable over the second can.

  • Patent number: 11480398
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a manifold for directing cooling fluid and/or gas to a heat exchanger in a flow configuration designed to optimize heat transfer from the heat exchanger. The manifold can take many different forms such as a layered construction with distributed inlet paths, local outlet paths, a central collection changer and a path for fluid removal. The manifold can be formed from a metal, plastic, rubber, ceramic, or other heat resistant material known to or conceivable by one of skill in the art. The manifold can also be combined with any type of heat exchanger known to or conceivable by one of skill in the art to form a thermal management unit. To optimize overall properties such as low pressure drop, high heat transfer, and excellent temperature uniformity of the thermal management unit, the manifold can be graded, expanded and scaled as needed.
