  • Publication number: 20240370877
    Abstract: A system comprises at least one computer device in communication with one or more server computers. The system converts unstructured text into usable order details, and uses instant messaging to notify recipients of the order details. The notices include electronic web links that launch a web interface that generates an editable, pre-populated electronic order ticket based on the order details. Submission of the electronic order ticket launches an auction during which the recipients may respond with offers to fulfill to the electronic order ticket. If after the auction more than one response is needed to fill the electronic order ticket, the system automatically allocates how and in which order the responses will be used to fill the electronic order ticket. If the electronic order ticket is not completely filled after the auction, the electronic order ticket is submitted to one or more additional exchanges for further filling.

  • Patent number: 12070178
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a surface cleaning apparatus that includes a recovery system that extracts liquid and debris with a drying cycle in which forced air flows through a recovery pathway of the recovery system to dry out components that remain wet and/or retain moisture after normal operation of the apparatus. The post-operation drying cycle can dry out components such as an agitator or brushroll, a brush chamber, a suction nozzle, a recovery tank, a filter, and any of the various conduits, ducts, and/or hoses fluidly coupling components of the recovery system together.

  • Patent number: 11755626
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method is disclosed that includes operations of receiving document to be classified, performing pre-processing operations on the document resulting in generation of a tokenized document, performing word embedding operations on the tokenized document resulting in generation of a vectorized document, performing text similarity operations on the vectorized document and each of one or more vectorized topics resulting in a set of one or more similarity scores, wherein a first similarity score indicates a level of similarity between the vectorized document and a first vectorized topic, and wherein each vectorized topic represents one of a predetermined set of topics and classifying the document into one of the predetermined set of topics based on the set of one or more similarity scores. Performing the word embedding operations includes mapping each token of the remaining subset to a multi-dimensional vector, with each multi-dimensional vector representing a semantic meaning of a token.
