  • Publication number: 20240300035
    Abstract: A connector system for coupling a drill to an input shaft for a trailer-mounted mechanism includes a drill attachment member is elongated from a drill end to an output end of the drill attachment member. The drill attachment member is configured to be clamped by a chuck of a drill adjacent to the drill end. The drill attachment member has a notch extending into the output end and extending transversely through the drill attachment member. An input shaft is engageable by the drill attachment member such that the input shaft is rotatable by the drill attachment member around a central axis of the input shaft.

  • Patent number: 8417783
    Abstract: A system and method for removing ineffective features from a spam feature set. In particular, in one embodiment of the invention, the an entropy value is calculated for the feature set based on the effectiveness of the feature set at differentiating between ham and spam. Features are then removed one at a time and the entropy is recalculated. Features which increase the overall entropy are removed and features which decrease the overall entropy are retained. In another embodiment of the invention, the value of certain type of time consuming features (e.g., rules) is determined based on both the information gain associated with the features and the time consumed implementing the features. Those features which have relatively low information gain and which consume a significant amount of time to implement are removed from the feature set.
