  • Publication number: 20230085379
    Abstract: According to the present invention, there is provided a pipe forming apparatus for forming a pipe at an installation site. The apparatus includes a former upon which material is wound, and a mold for receiving the former bearing the wound material. An applicator is provided for applying curable liquid within the mold. Advantageously, the pipe is formed at site to provide for efficient formation of a pipeline. A transported ISO container providing the material and curable liquid to the site can produce 800 metres of pipeline section, compared with 60 metres in the prior art, representing a significant increase in efficiency.

  • Patent number: 11475154
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes retrieving a tenant identifier of a plurality of tenant identifiers identifying a set of users with authorized access to one or more data repositories of a plurality of data repositories. An indexing agent associated with the tenant identifier is configured based on indexing configuration information. The indexing configuration information includes at least an identifier of the one or more data repositories, location information for accessing the repositories, and one or more file patterns. Indexed data associated with the tenant identifier is retrieved from an indexing server executing the indexing agent. The indexed data includes text data obtained by the indexing agent during indexing using at least one data file associated with the one or more file patterns and stored in the one or more data repositories, and a cryptographic hash of the at least one data file.

  • Patent number: 10176251
    Abstract: Generally discussed herein are systems, devices, and methods for unstructured text analysis. A method can include deconstructing structured data to create unstructured text, creating a first word cloud using the unstructured text, creating a query based on the first word cloud, receiving data corresponding to contents of a specified number of records determined to include data most similar to the first word cloud in a database of records, creating a second word cloud for each of the specified number of records using the data from the specified number of records, determining similarity values indicating how similar the first word cloud is to each of the second word clouds, and providing a similarity indicator for each record of the specified number of records to a user interface, the similarity indicator representing a relative magnitude of the determined similarity values of the specified number of records.

  • Patent number: 10032045
    Abstract: This disclosure provides for a system, method, and machine-readable medium for performing dynamic runtime field-level access control using a hierarchical permission context structure. The hierarchical permission context structure includes various levels of roles, where each role is assigned one or more permissions. The one or more permissions assigned to the one or more roles indicate the amount of control a given user has over data displayable in an electronic document. The electronic document includes one or more fields having corresponding records in one or more databases. A record includes metadata about the data for a corresponding field. When an electronic document is requested, the fields of the electronic document are generated from the data stored in their corresponding records. An evaluation is performed that determines whether the user requesting the electronic document is authorized to view the data for one or more of the fields based on their corresponding metadata.

  • Patent number: 9422843
    Abstract: In accordance with at least one embodiment: a muffler with a case (comprised of at least one inlet, at least one outlet, and a body), and elongated members comprised of material capable of a predetermined resonance. The elongated members have sufficient length after their final point of attachment to vibrate when exposed to flowing exhaust gasses. This vibration results in resonance that is noise canceling and/or sound enhancing. The muffler may also contain any combination of sound baffles, sound absorbent material, and other sound altering devices.

  • Publication number: 20160184661
    Abstract: An adjustable putter that allows a golfer to quickly and easily adjust the lie and angle of a putter. The adjustable putter features a ball and socket joint connection that allows a golfer to adjust the shaft of a putter within the upper socket opening. The adjustable putter allows a golfer to articulate the angle of the putter relative to the putter head without affecting the putter grip's alignment with the putter face. Inside the shaft is a torque tube with a set pin that enters a sphere within a socket, which causes the sphere to expand and frictionally fit into the socket to lock the putter shaft in place. In an alternative embodiment, the torque tube assembly that may be of various lengths, where a male connection tool may enter the side of the putter shaft at any point. It is at that point where the female hex connection of the torque tube assembly will be positioned for use with the male tool.

  • Publication number: 20160146578
    Abstract: Polymeric compositions for use in preparing a ballistic material and ballistic materials capable of absorbing incoming projectiles prepared from the polymeric material are disclosed. The resulting ballistic materials are also disclosed. The materials have sufficient elasticity so that the polymer or polymer blend does not shatter when stuck with a high-velocity projectile. The polymer blends ideally have one or more of the following physical properties—a) a modulus of elasticity in the range of around 12,500 psi and around 19,000 psi, b) a max stress psi in the range of around 545 and around 985, and c) a tensile strength in the range of around 3.50 ft-lbf/in and around 11.00 ft-lbf/in. The thickness of the ballistic material is at least around 3 inches, with a size of around 4-5 inches square or diameter. Objects made of a hardened material, typically between about ¼ and ½ inch, can be interspersed throughout the interior volume of the material.

  • Publication number: 20150308690
    Abstract: The present invention is a freestanding and relocatable fireplace assembly having a unitary body including: a base, and a firebox, and a flue, wherein the fireplace can be assembled from a kit of parts, and once constructed, the fireplace is able to free stand upon its base on any suitable substantially level outdoor surface. A void is created between the bottom of the firebox and the base, which helps to insulate the region of the surface that the fireplace is placed upon, from the heat generated by a fire in the firebox. The bottom of the firebox includes a sloping floor that slopes towards the front of the fireplace, and at least the sidewalls of the firebox slope inwardly. When the fireplace needs to be relocated, it may be moved either as a whole, or in pieces, or is fully disassembled for easier storage and transportation. The fireplace assembly includes attachment means for a variety of accessories that can be used for cooking, heating or drying purposes.
