| 20110297326 | HANDLE SYSTEM FOR FINISHING TOOL - The present disclosure describes a handle system for use with finishing tools utilized to finish wallboard joints. A finishing tool may be connected to the handle system and moved relative to a wallboard joint to appropriately apply mastic over the joint. In one embodiment, the handle system includes an elongate handle body having a tear drop cross-sectional shape. The shape enables the handle body to fit ergonomically within a user's hand and improves the user's ability to resist torque tending to cause the handle body to twist and a connected finishing tool to come out of contact with wallboard during use. The handle system further includes a pivoting connector assembly that permits a connected finishing tool to rotate relative to the handle body and that has a unique pivot pin that allows mastic to flow through the handle body, through the pivoting connector assembly, and into the connected finishing tool. | 12-08-2011 |

| 20090216740 | Method for Indexing for Retrieving Documents Using Particles - An information retrieval system stores and retrieves documents using particles and a particle-based language model A set of particles for a collection of documents in a particular language is constructed from training documents such that a perplexity of the particle-based language model is substantially lower than the perplexity of a word-based language model constructed from the same training documents. The documents can then be converted to document particle graphs from which particle-based keys are extracted to form an index to the documents. Users can then retrieve relevant documents using queries also in the form of particle graphs. | 08-27-2009 |

| 20100114366 | DISPENSERS PROVIDING CONTROLLED DISPENSING AND CONTROLLED DISPENSING METHODS - Dispensers and method for controlled dispensing of products, preferably paper products, are discussed in this patent disclosure. Various embodiments of the present invention can comprise a housing, a separating assembly, a feed mechanism, and an advancing mechanism. The housing can support inner components of the dispenser. The housing can hold a stack of paper product to be dispensed. The separating assembly can comprise a separating member. The separating member can separate one or more napkins from the stack. The separating member can be controlled by a controller for controlled dispensing operations. The feed mechanism can move the separated napkin or napkins toward a dispensing slot for dispensing. The advancing mechanism can advance the stack of napkins such that, as the stack is depleted from one end of the stack, a remainder of the stack is advanced toward the separating member for dispensing. Other aspects, embodiments, and features are also claimed and described. | 05-06-2010 |
