20120179684 | SEMANTICALLY AGGREGATED INDEX IN AN INDEXER-AGNOSTIC INDEX BUILDING SYSTEM - A computer program product for an indexer-agnostic index building system includes a computer readable storage medium to store a computer readable program, wherein the computer readable program, when executed on a computer, causes the computer to perform operations for creating a semantically aggregated index. The operations include: extracting documents from a data source, wherein each document includes a data object; distributing the documents to a plurality of processing nodes within the system; for each node: indexing the data objects for each document into fields using semantic rules; and grouping indexed data objects for related fields by: classifying the documents into logical groups based on the semantic rules; and creating a searchable index shard for related logical groups. | 07-12-2012 |
20120254089 | Vector throttling to control resource use in computer systems - Embodiments of the invention relate to building a distributed reverse semantic index. In one general embodiment a plurality of documents are received with each document having at least one defined rule and or semantic. The documents are distributed among a plurality of nodes of a system. The documents are processed in a generally parallel fashion. Processing the documents includes processing text data of each of the document and breaking each document into fields to index the text data to create index data by deferring how to categorize the text data based upon the defined rule and or semantics. The indexed data is combined back together to create an indexer-agnostic semantic index including a plurality of the semantic index shards and to semantically classify the documents based on the index shards into groups based on document type to create the distributed reverse semantic index. | 10-04-2012 |

20120061982 | HOIST RING ASSEMBLY AND METHOD - A hoist ring assembly includes an anchor subassembly with bushing, retainer and threaded fastener elements, and a loop subassembly with a lifting loop and pair of pin elements. The assembly is adapted such that the lifting loop is rotatable through a 360-degree angle about a major axis, and pivotable through at least 180-degree angle about a minor axis. The assembly can be rapidly assembled or disassembled, and incorporates one or more components which may be substantially fabricated by way of forging operation, particularly the retainer member. | 03-15-2012 |
20120306226 | Anchor Hoist Ring Assembly - A hoist ring assembly with expansion anchor includes an anchor subassembly and a rotatable and pivotable lifting loop. The anchor subassembly includes a bushing element, an engagement element and a retainer element. The bushing element has an anchor shaft extending along a major axis. The engagement element has a threaded bore extending long a bore axis which is approximately parallel to the major axis when the assembly is in assembled state. The threaded bore is adapted to threadably receive a threaded portion of the retainer element. The bore axis may be forced out of alignment with the major axis by way of a tightening rotation of the threaded portion with respect to the threaded bore, thus expanding the effective diameter of the combined anchor shaft and engagement element. The assembly is thereby releasably anchorable to a pre-drilled hole in a load to be lifted. | 12-06-2012 |
20130020819 | LIFT STUB - A lift stub with an elongated shaft member that has a longitudinal axis, a proximal end and a distal end. A lift eye element is spaced laterally by a lateral distance from the longitudinal axis, a first distance from the proximal end, and a second distance from the distal end. The lift eye element pivotally mounts a clevis member to the elongated shaft member for rotation about a clevis axis that extends generally normal to the longitudinal axis of the elongated shaft member. The clevis has a throat that is adapted to receiving a lifting hook therein. A foot portion extends from the distal end towards the proximal end for a third distance, which is approximately less than the second distance. A spur element projects generally laterally of the elongated shaft member adjacent the distal end and generally laterally opposed to the lift eye element. | 01-24-2013 |
