  • Patent number: 10872350
    Abstract: A method for optimizing target content on a search results webpage includes receiving source code defining the webpage from a search engine server. The method further includes processing the source code to identify a target source code block in the source code, the target source code block defining, at least partially, the target content. The method further includes processing the target source code block to determine a relative metric for the target content with respect to a layout of the search results webpage. Thereafter, the relative metric may be utilized to optimize advertising expenditures in order to improve a relative position of the target content.

  • Publication number: 20200272635
    Abstract: Systems and methods for implementing extensible attributes in ETL are disclosed. In some examples, attributes configured at a source file may be extracted from the source file. The extracted attributes can be mapped to a target column of a data warehouse table, and then a dynamic ETL script may be generated. The dynamic script may be executed to move data associated with the attributes to an appropriate new column of the data warehouse.

  • Publication number: 20200263922
    Abstract: Embodiments of apparatuses and methods for reforming of hydrocarbons including recovery of products are provided. In one example, a method comprises separating a reforming-zone effluent into a net gas phase stream and a liquid phase hydrocarbon stream. The net gas phase stream is separated for forming an H2-rich stream and a first liquid phase hydrocarbon stream. The H2-rich stream may be contacted with an adsorbent to form an H2-ultra rich stream and a gas stream. C3/C4 hydrocarbons are absorbed from the gas stream with the liquid phase hydrocarbon stream. The gas stream may be contacted with an H2/hydrocarbon separation membrane to separate the PSA tail gas stream and form an H2-rich permeate stream and an H2 depleted non-permeate residue stream.

  • Patent number: 10688408
    Abstract: An apparatus for separating a feed stream into product streams. The apparatus includes an upper section, a middle section, and a lower section. The middle section has a dividing wall separating it into two portions. A liquid barrier blocks the flow of liquid from the upper section into the middle section and allows vapor to flow from the middle section to the upper section. A vapor and liquid barrier blocks both the flow of both vapor from the lower section to the middle section and the flow of liquid from the middle section to the lower section. Vapor conduits allow vapor to flow from the lower section to each of the middle portions in varying amounts. Also processes for separating a feed stream.

  • Patent number: 10636086
    Abstract: A comparative reporting system provides financial benchmarking and analytics. Integrating public reporting and enterprise software systems, raw financial information from external sources derived from a plurality of reporting sources can be ingested and processed to extract attributes and metrics. The extracted attributes and metrics can be data warehoused together with financial information from the enterprise software system. Analytics can be performed to generate a comparison between the enterprise and the plurality of reporting sources.
