Patent CA-2512773-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BROWN LARRY D
IPC: A44B99/00
Filed: 2005-07-21
Abstract: A water heater restraint has brackets and a buckle to allow a flexible strap to hold a water heater to a support. The bracket has two slots separated by a bar with one end of the strap threaded through the slots to form a loop encircling the bar so that friction or stitching holds the loop from unthreading. A buckle has two similar slots separated by a bar all located on a spring tang with access occurring through a slot in a base plate, so that when the bar is moved toward the base plate the strap is bound between the base plate and the spring tang to restrain motion of the strap. A projection on either the spring tang or on a sidewall extension of the base plate provides a releasable locking mechanism to lock the spring tang in position and lock the strap against movement.

Filed: 2004-02-25
Abstract: The subject invention provides for a feedback loop system and method that facilitate classifying items in connection with spam prevention in server and/or client-based architectures. The invention makes uses of a machine-learning approach as applied to spam filters, and in particular, randomly samples incoming email messages so that examples of both legitimate and junk/spam mail are obtained to generate sets of training data. Users which are identified as spam-fighters are asked to vote on whether a selection of their incoming email messages is individually either legitimate mail or junk mail. A  database stores the properties for each mail and voting transaction such as user information, message properties and content summary, and polling results for each message to generate training data for machine learning systems. The machine learning systems facilitate creating improved spam filter(s) that are trained to recognize both legitimate mail and spam mail and to distinguish between them.

A tracking strategy is employed, in lieu of a central repository, that is based upon medium-independent versioning. Each version of a document that is created and saved by a user is given a unique identifier. The versions are submitted to a global service for ratification as the next authoritative version of a document. A submitted version that forms the next step in a linear sequence is ratified as the authoritative version of the document, whereas the version which does not meet this criterion becomes identified as a new document. Support is provided for users who create versions off line, as well as users who are not subscribers to the system.
