Systems and methods for deduplication and disambiguation are disclosed. In example embodiments, a server accesses stored information about a first entity and stored information about a second entity. The server determines, based on the accessed stored information about the first entity and the accessed stored information about the second entity, a set of information items known about both the first entity and the second entity. The server computes, based on the set of information items, a probability that the first entity corresponds to the second entity by computing one or more expressiveness scores corresponding to a value of a first information item and a value of a second information item from the set of information items. The server provides, as a digital transmission, an output representing the computed probability.

Deduplication and disambiguation

A lock box mounting assembly (10, 101) for removably mounting a lock box (12, 116) to the hinge-edge (104) of a door (26, 106) includes a U-shaped bracket (30, 102, 103) formed for placement between the door (26, 106) and the door jamb (28, 107). The U-shaped bracket (30,102, 103) has an outer leg portion (32, 109), an inner leg portion (34, 108), and a central portion (36, 111) formed to extend through a reveal space between the hinge-edge of the door (26, 106) and the door jamb (28, 107) when the door is in a closed position. The inner leg portion (34) preferably includes at least one hinge-receiving slot (52a, 52b, 118) dimensioned to receive a door hinge (58,117) for vertically supporting the U-shaped bracket (30, 102, 103) on a door hinge (58, 117). In one form of the mounting assembly (101) the brackets (102, 103) substantially encircle and are locked to the door hinge (117) for increased security.

Lockable lock box mounting assembly and method

A saddle holder that is portable that has the capability of being collapsed to enhance its portability. The saddle holder has a saddle support frame plus two other members that are rotatably connected to the saddle support frame and one of these has a hook member for providing the structure to connect the saddle holder and support from a structure that is external to the saddle holder. The rotatable members also allow the saddle holder to be connected to and supported from a structure external to the saddle holder through a clamping like action when the hook member is not in use and this is adjustable to conform to surfaces that have different contours. Adjustable bracing members are also provided that are associated with the rotatable members that serve to provide for the connection of the saddle holder and its support from an external structure.
