Publication number: 20240076971Abstract: An improved pump device and control system for removal of liquid, such as viscous leachate, from a bore. A pump device includes a casing with an inlet check valve on a lower portion thereof and a discharge check valve on an upper portion thereof positioned within the casing. A fill cavity within the casing is connectable to a source of pressurized gas. As liquid/viscous leachate accumulates within the bore it enters the fill cavity through the inlet check valve. As pressurized gas is introduced to the fill cavity it displaces liquid/leachate from the fill cavity into and through a discharge tube and upward through the discharge check valve to remove the liquid/leachate from the fill cavity. The pump does not comprise a float. Control systems and devices provide for improved automated, semi-automated, and manual monitoring and control of pump device operation.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 6, 2023Publication date: March 7, 2024Inventors: Joseph Lee Shannon, Lee Thomas Jacobsen, Jeffrey Johnston

Patent number: 11792243Abstract: A system for conducting multi-session user interactions accesses a first interaction session between the user and a first entity, where the first interaction session is via a first communication channel. The system determines first context information associated with the first interaction session, where the first context information associated with the first interaction session comprises a summary associated with the first interaction session. The system generates a token identifier (ID) uniquely identifying the user and the first context information. The system associates the token ID to the user interaction information. The system accesses a second interaction session between the user and a second entity, wherein the second interaction session is via a second communication channel. The system authenticates the user based at least in part upon the token ID. The system communicates the first context information associated with the first interaction session to the second entity.Type: GrantFiled: January 19, 2022Date of Patent: October 17, 2023Assignee: Bank of America CorporationInventors: Stephen Thomas Shannon, Katherine Kei-Zen Dintenfass, Adithya Gadwale

Publication number: 20230244859Abstract: An apparatus includes a memory and a processor. The memory stores an identification of information and a document associated with an external system. The processor receives information associated with a user, and uses the information to generate a file of a first type. The processor also receives a selection of an option to initiate automatic generation of a file of a second type by the external system. In response, the processor identifies, from the information and based on the identification of the information used by the external system, a subset of information associated with the user. The processor transmits the subset to the external system. The processor additionally presents the document to the user, determines that the user edited the document, and transmits the edited document to the external system. In response to receiving the subset and the edited document, the external system generates the file of the second type.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 2, 2022Publication date: August 3, 2023Inventors: Graham Marshall Wyllie, Adithya Gadwale, Katherine Kei-Zen Dintenfass, Stephen Thomas Shannon

Publication number: 20230098135Abstract: An emergency system can access a variety of situational data items, such as video streams, facility information, and present and past incident data. The emergency system identifies data items that may be relevant to a particular incident and provides the relevant data items in one or more user interfaces. For example, the emergency system identifies relevant data items based on the reported location of the incident and the type of incident. As additional incident information is received or entered by telecommunicators, the emergency system can further filter and surface data items likely to be useful in responding to the incident. Certain data items may only be permitted to be viewed by certain types of users, or under certain conditions. The emergency system may ensure that data items are provided to authorized users and in permitted use cases.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 30, 2022Publication date: March 30, 2023Inventors: Steven Raucher, Brett Meyerowitz, Brooks Thomas Shannon
