Clause discovery for validation of documents
US Patent 10,409,805
September 10, 2019
Embodiments are directed to managing documents where clauses in a document may be identified. Evaluations of the clauses may be provided based on evaluators and machine learning (ML) models that assign each of the clauses to a category and a confidence score. Actions associated with the clauses may be monitored including updates to content of the clauses. Inconsistent evaluations associated with the clauses be identified. The ML models may be retrained based on the content of the clauses associated with the inconsistent evaluations.
Analyzing and visualizing trends in the use and consumption of data in a shared storage system
US Patent 10,409,784
September 10, 2019
A facility comprising methods and systems for analyzing and visualizing trends in the usage of data within a shared storage filesystem is disclosed. The facility analyzes the rate at which the filesystem or a portion thereof is used by periodically generating manifests of the usage of the filesystem and comparing one manifest to another manifest. Furthermore, the facility may store additional information relevant to the manifest, such as the time at which the manifest was taken; for each directory, the sum of all of the values determined for items in that directory (including any subdirectories); and so on. In this manner, the facility collects and stores information relevant to developing trend information for each item in the filesystem. The trends analysis and visualizations described herein provide quick insight into the changes deemed most interesting or significant between two times.
Electrical stimulation leads with anchoring unit and electrode arrangement and methods of making and using
US Patent 10,406,353
September 10, 2019
An electrical stimulation lead includes a lead body having a distal end portion, a proximal end portion, and a longitudinal length; and electrodes disposed along the distal end portion of the lead body. The electrodes include a first set of electrodes and a second set of electrodes. The electrodes of the first set are spaced apart by a first distance and the electrodes of the second set are spaced apart by a second distance that is greater than the first distance and the first set is spaced apart from the second set by a third distance that is greater than or equal to the second distance. The lead also includes terminals disposed along the proximal end portion of the lead body; conductors electrically coupling the terminals to the electrodes; and anchoring units disposed along the distal end portion of the lead body and proximal to the first set of electrodes.
Slide dock and methods of making and using
US Patent 10,401,905
September 3, 2019
A dock for a portable electronic device includes a base; an arm extending from the base; a receiving arrangement coupled to the arm and including contacts disposed on a surface of the receiving arrangement for mating with contacts disposed on the portable electronic device or a cover disposed over a portion of the portable electronic device; and a cable extending from the receiving arrangement configured and arranged to couple the dock to a device for charging or providing data to or from the portable electronic device.
Solvent depressurization devices, system, and methods
US Patent 10,400,955
September 3, 2019
A solvent storage and depressurization system is described. The system allows a volume of solvent to be stored and used at low pressure, thereby providing safety benefits and regulatory simplicity. The system includes an external expansion tank that is located outside of an extraction facility and that contains a solvent. The system also includes an internal storage tank that is located inside of the extraction facility and that provides a solvent supply to a solvent user, such as a phytochemical extraction system. The external and internal tanks are separated and connected via a duplex manifold. The manifold allows gas below a first pressure level to pass from the external expansion tank to the internal storage tank, and allows gas above a second pressure level to pass from the internal storage tank back to the external expansion tank, wherein the second pressure level is greater than the first pressure level.
Friction connecting means
US Patent 10,400,803
September 3, 2019
A friction connecting means includes a receiving element and engagement elements. The receiving element has a pressure pocket provided with a carbon fiber composite material layer.
Automated step device and methods of making and using
US Patent 10,400,510
September 3, 2019
An automated step includes a carriage moveable between a retracted position and a deployed position; a jack disposed on the carriage; a platform disposed on the jack; rotatable legs coupled to the platform and rotatable between a stowed position and an extended position; and a controller coupled to the carriage, the jack, and the legs. The controller, when activated to deploy the automated step, directs the carriage to extend, directs the jack to raise the platform, and directs the legs to rotate to the extended position and, when activated to retract the automated step, directs the legs to rotate to the stowed position, directs the jack to lower the platform, and directs the carriage to retract. The jack and legs both support the platform when a user stands on the automated step.
Boltless rail brace
US Patent 10,400,397
September 3, 2019
A boltless brace assembly for a rail includes a base block interlocked with a brace, and further includes a wedge to be inserted between an upper surface of the base block and a lower surface of the brace, thereby applying an upward force to the brace and a resultant downward force to secure the rail base. The brace assembly may be modified to provide a universal brace assembly, a resilient brace assembly, or a frog base clamp.
Track assembly for a vehicle
US Patent 10,399,618
September 3, 2019
A mower includes a pair of track assemblies positioned on either side of a chassis. The track assemblies include drive wheels coupled to axles driven by an engine. A rocker rigidly mounts to the chassis independently of the engagement of the drive wheel with the axle. The rocker rotatably mounts to a mounting flange fastened to the chassis and includes a plurality of axles to which bogie wheels are mounted. The rocker is vertically below the axle and may be longitudinally centered on the axle or may be asymmetric with respect to the axle. All weight transferred is transferred to a track surrounding the drive wheel and bogie wheels through the rocker assembly engaging the chassis and no weight is transferred to the axle. A suspension may mount the track assembly to the chassis and the track may be long enough to replace front and back wheels.
Retaining device for vehicle racks
US Patent 10,399,504
September 3, 2019
A retaining device for securing one or more accessory racks to a base rack on a vehicle is provided herein. The device comprises a housing member that extends through the one or more accessory racks and into the base rack, a head, secured to the housing member that engages one or other of the racks, a detent that engages the other of the racks, and an engagement mechanism that extends the detent and pulls it toward the head. The device may further comprise a lock that secures the detent in a clamping position. The lock may comprise a ratchet and pawl arrangement defined by first and second levered tabs disposed on the head, the first tab being operably connected to the engagement mechanism. An ATV comprising one or more accessory racks secured to a base rack by a retaining device as described herein is also provided.
