Cellular core composite leading and trailing edges
US Patent 10,173,789
January 8, 2019
A complex-shaped, three-dimensional fiber reinforced composite trailing edge structure may be formed by using counteracting pressures applied to a structural lay-up of wetted fibers placed onto pressurizable members to form continuous fore and aft loops. In turn, the loops may be structurally functional to transfer loads from the trailing edge structure to a wing center section. The trailing structure may include may include fillers and/or a metallic insert, wherein the metallic insert may provide a lightening strike capability for the trailing edge structure.

January 8, 2019
An electrical stimulation system includes a lead or lead extension; a control module coupleable to the lead or lead extension; and a continuous conductive RF shield having a first portion extending along at least a portion of the lead and a second portion configured and arranged to form a perimeter band disposed around the housing of the control module. Alternatively, an electrical stimulation lead or lead extension includes a body; first contacts disposed along the distal end portion of the body; second contacts disposed along the proximal end portion of the body; a conductive RF shield disposed over, and extending along, at least a portion of the body; and a non-conductive jacket disposed over the conductive RF shield. The non-conductive jacket defines at least one window which exposes a portion of the conductive RF shield radially beneath the at least one window.
Locking midsole and insole assembly
US Patent 10,172,414
January 8, 2019
A footwear item includes an insole, an outsole, and a midsole. The insole includes an insole top surface, an insole bottom surface, and an insole sidewall. The outsole includes an outsole top surface and an outsole bottom surface. The midsole is positioned between the insole and the outsole. The midsole is configured to nest onto the top surface of the outsole. In at least the heel region, the midsole includes a strobel upper surface and a strobel sidewall configured to nestingly receive a heel region of the insole. In addition, an interface between the strobel upper surface and the strobel sidewall includes a fillet region configured to support and reduce lateral-medial movement of the insole relative to the midsole.
Elevating lift dispenser and container
US Patent 10,167,132
January 1, 2019
A container includes a canister having an upper lip, and an operator having an operator main body. The operator has a gripping ring at one end that defines an operator upper lip and a container opening. The gripping ring outside diameter is greater than an outside diameter of the operator main body. The canister includes a helical grooved canister engagement feature which extends about the canister. The operator includes an operator engagement feature which is a longitudinal slot formed through the operator main body. A lift having a lift projection is received in the operator, and the operator main body is received within the canister, with the lift projection extending through the operator engagement feature and into the canister engagement feature. The gripping ring extends at least partially over the canister upper lip, and a lower edge of the gripping ring is located adjacent the canister upper lip.
Lead and methods for brain monitoring and modulation
US Patent 10,166,385
January 1, 2019
An apparatus, a system and methods for modulating and monitoring tissue have an elongate member with proximal and distal ends and a plurality of annular stimulating electrodes axially arranged along the elongate member. The stimulating electrodes are disposed near the distal end and are adapted to pass current into tissue. At least one of the annular stimulating electrodes has at least three independent stimulation points on the electrode. The apparatus also includes a plurality of recording electrodes that are adapted to measure local tissue potentials and a plurality of conductors are coupled with the recording and stimulating electrodes. An optional multiple contact connecting terminal may be coupled with the conductors and is disposed near the proximal end of the elongate member.
Identification device, system and method
US Patent 10,165,052
December 25, 2018
An identification system includes an identification device and a communication device. The identification device is attached to an article and including a sensor. The identification device is configured to operate in a plurality of modes and configured to switch between modes of the plurality of modes based on one or more conditions of a surrounding environment sensed by the sensor. The identification device is configured to send data to a server. The communication device of a user of the identification system is configured to receive data including location data of the identification device from the server using short message service protocols or messages through a signaling channel.
Merged permission modes
US Patent 10,162,980
December 25, 2018
Embodiments are directed to managing data in a file system. A file system engine may provide a file system that includes file system objects accessible by two or more clients that use different native permission schemes. The file system engine may receive an access request from a client to access the file system objects that includes native permission values. A permissions engine provides platform permission values from a platform permission scheme associated with the file system objects. The permissions engine provides requested platform permission values based on the platform permission scheme and the native permission values included in the access request. The permissions engine compares the requested platform permission values to the platform permission values associated with the file system objects. The permissions engine provides access rights to the file system objects based on an affirmative result of the comparison.
Machine-assisted key discovery and join generation
US Patent 10,162,881
December 25, 2018
Embodiments are directed towards managing data. Attributes of model fields of a plurality of model objects may be analyzed. If the analysis of the attributes discovers primary key fields in the model objects, the characteristics of the primary keys may be compared with the characteristics of other model objects. If affirmative results of the comparison indicate that one or more foreign key fields may be in the other model objects, one or more relationships that associate the primary key fields with the foreign key fields may be provided. And, a system model may be provided based on the relationships and the model objects that include the primary key fields and the model objects that include the foreign key fields.
Clause discovery for validation of documents
US Patent 10,162,850
December 25, 2018
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.

Mandoline slicer
US Patent 10,160,133
December 25, 2018
A mandoline slicer includes a slicing blade between a runout ramp and a platen defining an adjustable slicing ramp. A set of cubing blades is selectively movable between extended and retracted positions, extendable through slots formed in the runout ramp. A pusher is configured for 90 degree rotational movement to allow perpendicular cutting by the cubing blades before slicing by a main blade.
