Abstract: A document management system can include an artificial intelligence-based document manager that can perform one or more predictive operations based on characteristics of a user, a document, a user account, or historical document activity. For instance, the document management system can apply a machine-learning model to determine how long an expiring agreement document is likely to take to renegotiate and can prompt a user to begin the renegotiation process in advance. The document management system can detect a change to language in a particular clause type and can prompt a user to update other documents that include the clause type to include the change. The document management system can determine a type of a document being worked on and can identify one or more actions that a corresponding user may want to take using a machine-learning model trained on similar documents and similar users.

Abstract: This invention generally provides two tactile stimulation modules, or “tappers”. One tapper is held by a person in each of his hands. Alternatively, a tapper is secured to each wrist or to other parts of the body on opposite sides. Each tapper is powered by a rechargeable battery, and contains both a tactile stimulation transducer, such as an electric motor having either a balanced or unbalanced mass on its output shaft, and a transceiver that communicates with a host or master. Each tapper includes at least one control button and a status indicator. Each tapper contains a micro-controller that performs tasks such as communication, motor activation, user monitoring and control, battery monitoring, low-power sleep, and algorithm execution. At least one tapper can contain at least one optional sensor, which measures a physiological function. Measurements can be used to modify performance of the tactile stimulation transducers.

An actuator including a motor can be operable to cause the fan brake to perform a braking procedure on the fan system to resist rotational movement of the fan system. A controller can be communicated with the actuator, the controller operable to selectively cause the actuator and the fan brake to perform the braking procedure, wherein the controller is operable to monitor and control power being supplied to the motor of the actuator during the braking procedure to maintain a torque output of the motor according to a predetermined torque profile during the braking procedure.

Abstract: A children's toy, and electronic device, plays audio files and projects differently-colored light patterns onto a surface in a room in which the device is placed. The light patterns are projected in synchronization with the playback of such audio files. The device allows users to select from different nature sounds, different melodies, or multiple pre-recorded children's stories. The device also enables users to record their own stories for each of several environments, and playback their custom stories together with projections of light in each environment.

Abstract: Automated assembly of a pallet includes advancement of a subject board from a source location to a queue position. The subject board is moved from the queue position to a fastening position by a positioner. Advancement of the subject board occurs while the positioner is in motion between the queue position and the fastening position.

Abstract: An antimicrobial switch panel (ASP) system/method allowing for retrofit of existing switch panels with protective antimicrobial covers for toggle switch levers is disclosed. The disclosed system incorporates a toggle switch cover (TSC) formed from a plastic molded extrusion (PME) that is impregnated with an antimicrobial compound (AMC). The PME includes an outer tactile surface (OTS) and an inner capture recess (ICR). The ICR is configured to conform to the outer surface of a toggle switch (TSW) toggle switch lever (TSL) and includes one or surfaces more configured with protrusions and/or indentations that affect mechanical coupling between the TSL and the PME when the ICR is mated with the TSL. The OTS may be configured with a variety of tactile configurations that identify the function of the TSW and/or include a PME colorant that identifies the function of the TSW and/or provide for photoluminescent operation of the PME.

Abstract: A method of rendering a virtual environment is disclosed. First application data is received. The first application data includes first graph data. The first graph data corresponds to a first state of an application. Second application data is received after the first application data. The second application data corresponds to a second state of the application. The first application data and the second application data are analyzed to determine a change in the first graph data associated with the second application data. An island subgraph within the first graph data that includes the change is determined. Second graph data is generated for the second state. The generating of the second graph data includes partially reconstructing the first graph data. The partial reconstructing includes rebuilding the determined island subgraph. The generated second graph data is communicated for rendering of the virtual environment in the second state.

Abstract: A faucet handle assembly includes a mounting shank configured to be mounted to a mounting deck. A valve assembly is received within an internal chamber of the mounting shank, and the valve assembly includes a valve stem that is rotatable about a rotation axis to facilitate water flow through the valve assembly. The valve assembly further includes a valve stem adapter that is operably coupled to the valve stem. The faucet handle assembly further includes an upper handle. The upper handle includes a lever that is coupled to the valve stem adapter and the valve stem, and the lever is disposed on a first side of the rotation axis. The upper handle further includes a cover that is coupled to the valve stem adapter and disposed on an opposite second side of the rotation axis. The cover and the lever together obscure the valve stem adapter.
