  • Publication number: 20240037344
    Abstract: The present disclosure describes methods and systems for suggesting responses generated from an entity's own published information with links to the source of that generated response should provide a quality starting point that is already accurate and brand compliant or, if not, quickly editable to become so. The published information is ingested by the system, and a question/answer transformation process is applied against the ingested data using training language data that is tagged and categorized by intent to generate suggested responses. The suggested response may be presented in a user interface with a link to the URL which was used to construct the response. The suggested responses may be edited if needed.

  • Publication number: 20220356827
    Abstract: A fluid filling system for filling a tank from a source of fluid. The system is particularly beneficial for filling a DEF tank. The system has a pump connected to a fluid source, such as DEF. A fill hose has a proximal end and a distal end. The proximal end is connected to the pump. The distal end includes at least one first sensor mounted adjacent the distal end. The distal end is adapted for insertion into the tank. A CPU is operatively connected to the first sensor and the pump. The first sensor communicates with the CPU to energize the pump when the sensor fails to sense fluid when the fill hose is inserted into the tank. The CPU deenergizes the pump when the first sensor senses fluid when inserted into the tank. As a result, the fluid filling system continually fills the container through the fill hose.

  • Publication number: 20200341604
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for dynamically adjusting a website of an entity using information that has been received, stored, gathered, and/or otherwise obtained about what people want to find on the entity's website. A website may be dynamically adjusted using trending information. Dynamically adjusting may comprise generating and presenting links on the website to webpages in order of volume over a defined time threshold, or by variance over a standard volume over a longer established time frame. Dynamically adjusting the website may comprise providing an element on a website for what is most urgent to customers. A unit associated with a website may be monitored, and when the unit volume or activity starts to spike beyond normal expectations, then information about the unit is proactively and/or preemptively offered on the website, or a webpage of the website, without ever having a conversation with a user.

  • Patent number: 7263922
    Abstract: A fence for guiding a work surface past a saw blade supported by a table having a support tube running substantially perpendicular to the saw blade. The fence includes a rip fence having a plurality of studs disposed on opposing sides thereof. A pair of fence faces are positioned on opposing sides of the rip fence and have a plurality of slots for removably engaging the studs thereby securing the face fences to the rip fence. A rip fence head is affixed beneath the rip fence. A lockdown clasps the support tube with the rip fence head for securing the fence to the tablesaw. The lockdown includes an adjustment mechanism for stabilizing the fence to the support tube independently of the lockdown. The adjustment mechanism is adjustable relative to the lockdown so that the position of the fence on the support tube can be accurately adjusted by moving the fence relative to the lockdown mechanism.

  • Patent number: 6988719
    Abstract: A stand for movably supporting a workpiece is disclosed. The stand includes a base, a support and a plurality of roller assemblies. The support is releasably connected to the base for permitting the height of the stand to be altered. The roller assemblies are mounted on diverging surfaces which are in turn mounted at oblique angles relative to the support for permitting non-interfering movement of the workpiece relative thereto. Each roller assembly includes a sphere captured within a collar mounted on a selected one of the diverging surfaces for permitting free-rolling movement of the sphere relative to the collar and the workpiece.

  • Patent number: 6843625
    Abstract: A mobile base assembly wherein a plurality of wheels 12 are attached to a frame 14 for movably supporting the frame 14 on a support surface 16 and an anchor mechanism 10 lifts the wheels 12 from the support surface 16 and anchors the frame 14 to the support surface 16. A pair of spaced plates (20 or 22) are attached to the frame 14 and an anchor member 34 is pivotally mounted between the plates (20 or 22) for pivotal movement between an anchor position (FIG. 4) and a retracted position (FIG. 3). A lever 70 is pivotally mounted between the plates (20 or 22) and presents a cam 72 for engaging and pivoting the anchor member 34 against the biasing reaction of a spring 60 from the retracted position to the anchor position. A foot 40 is attached to a foot flange extending from the anchor member 34 and has a base 42 for engaging the support surface 16 in the anchor position.

  • Publication number: 20040250901
    Abstract: A pair of support brackets (36, 38) are spaced along and interconnect a pair of spaced and parallel support members (16, 18) and a pair of support legs (20, 22) are pivotally connected (28) to each support bracket (36, 38) for pivotal movement between a support position extending downwardly from said support members (16, 18) and a closed position underlying said support members (16, 18). A pair of wheels (48) may be removed from a pair of legs and rotatably supported on one of the support brackets (36, 38) for transport of the assembly in the folded position. Each of a pair of transverse rails (60) includes a C-shaped channel (71) facing the opposite rail (60) for supporting the opposite edges of a board (73). A support bar (107) is disposed in telescoping relationship within each of the support members (16, 18) for vertically supporting (106) a horizontal guide member (110).

  • Publication number: 20040231483
    Abstract: A fence for guiding a work surface past a saw blade supported by a table having a support tube running substantially perpendicular to the saw blade. The fence includes a rip fence having a plurality of studs disposed on opposing sides thereof. A pair of fence faces are positioned on opposing sides of the rip fence and have a plurality of slots for removably engaging the studs thereby securing the face fences to the rip fence. A rip fence head is affixed beneath the rip fence. A lockdown clasps the support tube with the rip fence head for securing the fence to the tablesaw. The lockdown includes an adjustment mechanism for stabilizing the fence to the support tube independently of the lockdown. The adjustment mechanism is adjustable relative to the lockdown so that the position of the fence on the support tube can be accurately adjusted by moving the fence relative to the lockdown mechanism.

  • Patent number: 6782976
    Abstract: A brake and wheel assembly featuring a brake band and an actuator capable of being moved between first and second braking positions. The brake band is carried by a support and is suspended tangentially across the surface of a wheel. The wheel is rotatably supported on an axle. The actuator is supported in the assembly, and applies a tangential force on the brake band so that first and second braking surfaces on the brake band frictionally engage the actuator in the respective first and second braking positions.
