20080243885 | Method and System for Managing Entities - Embodiments of a method for managing entities include candidate selection by a transitive bucketing process where at least one attribute of an initial data record is used to determine a set of candidate data records corresponding to the initial data record. For each candidate data record thus determined, additional candidate data record(s) may be determined using attribute(s) not used in linking the candidate data record to the initial data record. This process may be repeated until no more candidate data records are returned. The initial data record and related candidates thus determined are then resolved into group entities, each having member records that match one another above a certain threshold. If no match is found, a group entity comprising a single data record may be created. These group entities are then reconciled with other entities in a master entity index system. | 10-02-2008 |
20090089332 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR ASSOCIATING DATA RECORDS IN MULTIPLE LANGUAGES - Embodiments disclosed herein provide a system and method for associating data records in multiple languages within a single hub. As a record comes in from an information source coupled to the hub, it is associated with a particular language at a core layer. The hub maps each language one-to-one to a member type. For each data record of a particular member type, unique derivation code is utilized to perform standardization and bucketing at a derived layer. A weight may be used to balance the richness of languages so that data records in different languages can have the same statistical meaning. Since attributes are standardized with respect to a language of a data record, appropriate languages or script can be passed along with the data record. The hub can then match the data record to the optimum algorithm(s) for entity processing at an entity layer. | 04-02-2009 |

20080301950 | CABLE CUTTER WITH RECIPROCATING CUTTING WHEEL FOR CUTTING FLEXIBLE CABLE - A cutting tool includes a frame, a shaft, a cutter and a cam. The shaft is rotatable about an axis. The cutter is coupled to the shaft such that rotation of the shaft about its axis causes rotation of the cutter about the shaft's axis. The cam is positioned around the shaft such that the cam contacts the frame upon rotation of the shaft. The cam has a cam surface which is distanced away from the axis of the shaft a varying amount such that contact of the cam with the frame upon rotation of the shaft causes the shaft, and thus the cutter, to reciprocate in a generally transverse direction relative to the axis of the shaft. | 12-11-2008 |

20160091109 | LOW TORQUE MULTI-CIRCUIT CONTROL VALVE - A control valve includes a valve housing, a plurality of valves located within the valve housing, and a moveable member that is configured to move within the housing, the moveable member including a plurality of cam extensions. As the moveable member moves (e.g., rotates), the cam extensions interact against the valves to open and close the valves in a prescribed order. The control valve may be controlled to inflate a zoned object. The valves may include at least two zone valves for communicating pressurized air into the object, and a vent valve for venting the object via the zone valves. At any given position of the moveable member, the cam extensions are positioned to one of: opening one of the zone valves, opening one of the zone valves and the vent valve, or maintaining all of the valves closed. The rotating member may be a cylindrical cam shaft with radially extending cams. | 03-31-2016 |

20120227318 | Plant Training Structure - A plant training structure is used for training a plant to grow in a direction other than vertically. The plant training structure has a central pillar, a spine, at least one lateral frame arm, and a mesh. The spine is supported by the central pillar and extends in at least two directions away from the central pillar. The at least one lateral frame arm is carried by the spine and disposed on at least two opposing sides of the central pillar. The mesh is attached to and suspended between the lateral frame arms over at least a portion of the central pillar. A plant growing under the plant training structure is restrained from growing vertically by the mesh. | 09-13-2012 |

20090173873 | Exothermic Welding Assembly - An assembly is disclosed for exothermic welding comprising a mold which is formed of a material which withstands exothermic welding temperatures and includes a weld cavity therein for positioning at least two members which are to be exothermically welded together, and an ignition cavity communicating with the weld cavity. The mold is capable of accommodating any one of several exothermic welding procedures which may involve either a flint igniter or the use of an electrical igniter which is readily accommodated by the mold in the performance of several of the procedures. The electrical igniter is formed of a pair of flat, longitudinally extending conductor strips with a sheet of insulation laminated therebetween, a filament adjacent one end of the strips, and one or more positioning tabs adjacent one end of the strips. A cartridge is also provided which contains the weld metal and the electrical igniter and which may be positioned in the ignition cavity of the mold. The cartridge is formed of a material which is consumed during the welding procedure and may contain a plate of a different material adjacent its bottom which melts at a higher temperature than the materials of the cartridge. | 07-09-2009 |
