A method, apparatus, and system are disclosed for harvesting publicly accessible data from internet web pages. In one embodiment, the invention includes emulating user requests that are consistent with a user operating an industry standard browser, receiving text in response to the generated request, using a set of relevance estimators to select a most relevant candidate from a set of data items, and segmenting text received from a web page into extractable blocks. Relevance estimators may use techniques such as word matching, pattern matching, format matching, context assessment, word proximity, and the like. The extracted data may be aggregated into a database and used in applications such as phone directories or sales catalogs. The present invention facilitates data harvesting from web pages related to one or more specified topics.

An adapter assembly for moving a vehicle child seat longitudinally and rotationally relative to a vehicle seat. The assembly has a bearing base plate, a rotatable turntable disposed on and connected to the bearing base plate, a top plate disposed on and connected to the rotatable turntable, and an adapter plate disposed on and connected to the top plate. The adapter plate is fabricated to couple to a child seat having predetermined dimensions.

A turbine engine combustor member, for example a deflector including an inner surface at a combustor interior and an outer surface away from such interior includes a body of a high temperature alloy having properties combining resistance to hot corrosion and oxidation to avoid coating the outer surface. In one embodiment, the inner surface includes an environmental resistant coating comprising a ceramic-base thermal barrier coating. In some forms such coating includes an inner coating including Al under the ceramic-base coating. In another embodiment, the member includes air cooling passages and is substantially uncoated. Provision of such a member enables complete combustor assembly including a plurality of members and then coating all inner surfaces concurrently rather than individually before assembly.

A system for transcription is controlled and optimized by computer software which implements a competitive market for jobs is presented. Jobs are characterized by type, deadline, domain, difficulty, pay rate, customer and other factors. Editors are given credentials to perform jobs based on a complex of editor and job characteristics, and all editors qualified for a given job may then perform actions to preview and to claim the job. Job characteristics are adjusted dynamically to ensure that they are completed accurately and according to schedule.

An automated gate control system for a vehicle with a load carrying portion capable of carrying a load of material selectively distributable through a gate comprises a driver-accessible control module and a gate actuating mechanism. The driver-accessible control mechanism is positionable within reach of a driver of the vehicle. The gate actuating mechanism is controllably linked to and responsive to control signals from the driver-accessible control module to open and to close the gate to distribute material through the gate as desired. As a result, the driver need not exit the vehicle to move the gate before, after or during a material distribution operation.
摘要:
A nickel-base superalloy article, such as a gas turbine stationary flowpath shroud that has previously been in service, is repaired by applying a restoration coating to a surface of the article. The restoration coating is applied by providing a precursor mixture, wherein the precursor mixture has no more than about 15 weight percent chromium and no more than about 0.01 percent yttrium, and wherein the precursor mixture includes a higher-melting-point alloy component and a lower-melting-point alloy component. The precursor mixture is applied to the surface of the article, in a form such as a preform of the alloy components. The article with the precursor mixture applied to the surface thereof is heated to a sufficiently high temperature to melt the lower-melting-point alloy component, thereby forming the restoration coating on the surface of the article.
摘要:
A distributed project management system especially suited for construction projects and administered by third party Application Service provider (ASP) in communication with a plurality of remote client computers and providing a dashboard to each party including a general contractor dashboard that facilitates development of a smart contract based on a project template. Each party's dashboard is configured to review, negotiate and accept the project template, whereupon the ASP compiles it into a distributed private blockchain transaction ledger that is updated based on communications from the various dashboards. The ASP determines whether transactions meet a condition of the smart contract, and updates and validates the distributed transaction record ledger. All notices, reports, disbursements, and fund transfers necessary to pay all of the subcontractors and contractor are completed electronically. The process is condensed from months into mere days, it eliminates unreliable verbal notifications, and is impervious to fraud and/or mistake.

A hasp seal lock assembly includes a base member that is attached via a hinge to a cover member. The cover member, when rotated such that the cover member engages the base member, is functionally adapted to overlay a latch and seal. The base member and the cover member each have a plurality of apertures defined in adjacent side walls that allow the horizontal latch arm to extend through the assembly. The base member and the cover member also include a second plurality of cooperating apertures whereby the base member and the cover member may be locked together by use of a padlock. In a first preferred embodiment, each cover side wall includes a tab and tab-receiving apertures are defined within the base member. The tabs require that the cover be lifted vertically prior to rotation of the cover member about the base member.
