  • Publication number: 20240102495
    Abstract: An example pressure compensator valve includes: a compensator spool; a first piston coupled to a distal end of, and ax-ially-movable with, the compensator spool; a second piston disposed at a proximal end of the compensator spool, wherein the compensator spool is axially movable relative to the second piston; and a compensator spring applying a biasing force on the compensator spool.

  • Patent number: 10984186
    Abstract: Automatic generation of electronic messaging templates is provided. After a first email/message is generated and used, a second or a plurality of subsequent messages may be compared against the first or other similar emails/messages. Common elements among the similar emails/messages and elements not in common in the compared emails/messages are identified. An email/message template is automatically generated having textual content comprising all elements (e.g., text) common to each compared email/message and having highlighting components, such as an “XXX” or other acceptable highlighting notation at a location in the textual content corresponding to each uncommon element. Upon subsequent use, when a sender opens the template and enters any information particular to the intended recipient, that information may be used to query a database or other data source for information that may be used to automatically fill-in (autofill) each highlighted uncommon element in the template.

  • Patent number: 10931617
    Abstract: Non-limiting examples describe sharing of bundled content through an application/service. A first input may be received, through a user interface of the email service. The first input is associated with a selection of a user interface element for sharing of a bundle of emails that comprises a grouping of at least two separate email threads. A second input is received indicating one or more other users for sharing the bundle of emails. The bundle of emails is shared with the one or more other users. Sharing of the bundle of emails creates a sharing permission that enables multi-directional sharing between the user and the one or more other users for current content of the shared bundle of emails and future content added to the shared bundle of emails. The shared bundle of emails is displayed inline with other emails of an email mailbox of the user through the user interface.

  • Patent number: 10909156
    Abstract: Non-limiting examples describe enhanced searching and filtering of message content by an application/service. Processing operations described herein are applicable to any type of message content including but not limited to bundled content of an email service. A search input may be received through a user interface of an email service. The search input may be for searching emails associated with a mailbox the email service. Email results may be retrieved based on the received search input. The retrieved email results may be categorized into one or more categories. A smart filter may be generated for filtering the retrieved email results. An exemplary smart filter may comprise at least one filter field that corresponds to category specific content extracted from emails of a category of the one or more categories. The email results and the smart filter may be displayed through the user interface of the email service.

  • Patent number: 10911389
    Abstract: Non-limiting examples describe automated management of rich content previews associated with bundled content of an application/service. As an example, a bundle of content may be a bundle of emails created within an email service. Email content associated with a bundle of emails may be accessed. The email content may be evaluated based on application of machine learning model that: determines an entity type associated with the bundle of emails based on the tag, identifies a state associated with the bundle of emails, and determines relevancy of specific email content in association with a determined entity type and the identified state associated with the bundle of emails. A rich content preview for the bundle of emails may be generated based on an evaluation of the email content.

  • Patent number: 10868786
    Abstract: Non-limiting examples describe automated bundling of content on behalf of a user by an application/service. As an example, a bundle of content may be a bundle of emails created on behalf of a user by an email service. Email data associated with a user account of an email service may be accessed. The email data may be evaluated by applying a bundle generation model that that evaluates the emails for bundling associations. An exemplary bundle generation model may evaluate the email data based on: user signal data from actions pertaining to categorization of specific emails, content and metadata corresponding with the email data, and server side metric analysis of activity corresponding with the user account. A bundle of emails may be automatically generated based on an evaluation result from applying the bundle generation model. The bundle of emails may be transmitted for display in a mailbox of the user account.

  • Patent number: 10590962
    Abstract: An example valve section includes: a valve body configured to be fluidly coupled to the source and the actuator; a spool movable in the valve body intermediate the source and the actuator; a pressure compensator valve disposed upstream from the spool and configured to regulate flow received from the source, where the valve body defines (i) a first passage disposed upstream from the spool and configured to fluidly couple the pressure compensator valve to the spool, and (ii) a second passage disposed downstream from the spool and configured to fluidly couple the spool to the actuator; and a counterbalance valve disposed in the second passage downstream from the spool, where the counterbalance valve is opened to permit flow therethrough from the actuator to the spool in response to a pilot pressure derived from the first passage when the spool is shifted from a neutral position.

  • Patent number: 10281934
    Abstract: An example valve includes: a valve body defining a bore, an inlet port, an outlet port, and a signal cavity; a spool movable in the bore to shift between a first position and an intermediate position, where the spool has a first end and a second end, where the outlet port is fluidly connected to the second end, where the valve body defines a spring cavity adjacent the first end of the spool to house a spring, where the first end is subjected to a load-sense pressure signal, and where when the spool is in the first position, the spool disconnects the inlet port from the outlet port and connects the inlet port to the signal cavity; and a valve actuator that, when activated, connects the signal cavity to the second end of the spool to move the spool in the bore from the first position to the intermediate position.
