Abstract: Systems and methods are described for merging customer profiles, such as may be implemented by a computer-implemented contact center service. In some aspects, a subset of profiles may be determined that satisfy merging criteria, where individual profiles include a plurality of data fields. At least one value in a first data field that conflicts between at least two profiles may be identified. Next a merged value may be selected for the first data field based on data deduplication criteria, where the data deduplication criteria includes at least one indicator of accuracy of values of the plurality of data fields. As a result of a determination that at least the subset of profiles of the group of profiles meet the merging criteria, at least the subset of profiles may be combined into a combined profile using the merged value.

Abstract: A gasifier configured to receive biomass, including: a pyroreactor defining a first end, a second end, and an interior lumen, the first end defining a biomass inlet, the second end defining a pyroreactor outlet; a reduction basket arranged proximal the pyroreactor outlet, the reduction basket including a closed end and a basket opening opposing the closed end; a set of air manifolds fluidly connected to the interior lumen of the pyroreactor through a set of air inlets arranged between the first and second ends, proximal the second end; and a gasifier housing enclosing the pyroreactor, reduction basket, and set of air manifolds within a housing lumen.

Abstract: A Stirling engine that implements a Stirling cycle is described. The Stirling engine may have a power piston and a main displacer coupled to a camshaft by means of a 90°-dwell positive return cam and yoke system. The Stirling engine achieves gaseous working fluid displacement using the main displacer and the co-displacer. The co-displacer alternately locks between the main displacer and the power piston, which enables the main displacer to displace a different volume of gaseous working fluid during a cooling phase of the Stirling cycle than during a heating phase of the Stirling cycle.
