Allen Murray has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 11704321
    Abstract: The present disclosure related to techniques for analyzing data from multiple different data sources to determine a relationship between the data (also referred to herein a “data relationship discovery”). The relationships between any two compared datasets may be used to determine one or more recommendations for merging (e.g., joining), or “blending,” the data sets together. Relationship discovery may include determining a relationship between a subset of data, such as a relationship between a pair of columns, or column pair, each column in a different dataset of the datasets that are compared. Given two datasets to process for relationship discovery, relationship discovery may identify and recommends a ranked subset of column pairs between two compared datasets. The ranked column pairs identified as a relationship may be useful for blending the datasets with respect to those column pairs.

  • Patent number: 11565876
    Abstract: The present invention comprises a surface mount secondary containment system comprising prefabricated pieces that may be assembled to form a wall and adjoining corner with overlapping sections to capture leaks, spillage or the like from a primary liquid container member that may be constructed so that no ground damage and or penetration is done during construction and use.

  • Patent number: 11518537
    Abstract: Fuel tank inerting systems are provided. The systems include a fuel tank, an air source arranged to supply air into a reactive flow path, a catalytic reactor having a plurality of sub-reactors along the flow path, and a heat exchanger. The sub-reactors are arranged relative to the heat exchanger such that the flow path passes through at least a portion of the heat exchanger between two sub-reactors along the flow path. At least one fuel injector is arranged relative to at least one sub-reactor. The fuel injector is configured to inject fuel into the flow path at at least one of upstream of and in the respective at least one sub-reactor to generate a fuel-air mixture. A fuel tank ullage supply line fluidly connects the flow path to the fuel tank to supply an inert gas to a ullage of the fuel tank.

  • Patent number: 11500880
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for providing adaptive recommendations for a data set. A data set can include one or more columns of data. The data set can be profiled in order to identify actions that can be applied to the data in order to enrich the data. The data set and actions that were applied to the data set can be stored. Actions that are applied to subsequent data sets can take into account the actions that were applied to prior data sets having similar profiles.

  • Patent number: 11379506
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to performing similarity metric analysis and data enrichment using knowledge sources. A data enrichment service can compare an input data set to reference data sets stored in a knowledge source to identify similarly related data. A similarity metric can be calculated corresponding to the semantic similarity of two or more datasets. The similarity metric can be used to identify datasets based on their metadata attributes and data values enabling easier indexing and high performance retrieval of data values. A input data set can labeled with a category based on the data set having the best match with the input data set. The similarity of an input data set with a data set provided by a knowledge source can be used to query a knowledge source to obtain additional information about the data set. The additional information can be used to provide recommendations to the user.

  • Patent number: 11200248
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for a system that provides an intuitive way for merging or joining data from different datasets. The system may provide graphical interfaces to enable a user to combine or join datasets identified as having a relationship. In at least one embodiment, the system can determine options for joining datasets, such as by a left join, right join, or outer join. A graphical interface may display a visual representation (e.g., a “Glenn Diagram”) illustrate options for joining datasets based on identifying a relationship between the data sets. The representation may further illustrate one or more types of joins and information about the data, such as rows where data may be joined based on the type of join function for the relationship by columns. The visual representation may indicate where the datasets can be joined, such that they are not overlapping.

  • Patent number: 10967985
    Abstract: A method for startup of a catalytic oxidation unit includes flowing air from an air source into the catalytic oxidation unit, recycling air from an outlet of the catalytic oxidation unit to an inlet of the catalytic oxidation unit through a recycle duct, and flowing a fuel from a fuel source into the catalytic oxidation to cause a catalytic reaction.

  • Patent number: 10891272
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to a data enrichment service that extracts, repairs, and enriches datasets, resulting in more precise entity resolution and correlation for purposes of subsequent indexing and clustering. As the data enrichment service can include a visual recommendation engine and language for performing large-scale data preparation, repair, and enrichment of heterogeneous datasets. This enables the user to select and see how the recommended enrichments (e.g., transformations and repairs) will affect the user's data and make adjustments as needed. The data enrichment service can receive feedback from users through a user interface and can filter recommendations based on the user feedback.
