  • Publication number: 20240127323
    Abstract: A system and method of data extraction is disclosed. An image file of a scan of a printed information list is received at a server via a network connection. When not in portable document format, the received image file is processed with an optical character recognition (OCR) engine at the server to identify all text therein and then the processed image file is stored in a memory. When in portable document format, the image file is processed using metadata and positional data at the server to generate sentences; process the sentences to identify prices, descriptions, items, and categories; link each identified item to an associated price, description, and category; and extract and link all modifiers from identified description, and then all identified and extracted information is stored in memory. A user interface is provided to a user via the server for graphically visualizing and editing a stored processed file.

  • Publication number: 20240109030
    Abstract: A system and method recover process gas from a source volume at a source pressure to a destination volume at an equal or greater pressure. A regulation process receive the process gas from the source volume and steps down the pressure. Each regulation uses one or more stage each using a pressure control valve for pressure step down and a heat exchanger for reheating the process gas thereafter. A gas scrubber receives the process gas from the regulation stages and collecting liquid from the process gas. A compression process receives the process gas from the gas scrubber and steps up the intermediate pressure to a final pressure. The compression can use one or more compression stages, each having a compression cycle for pressure step up and a heat exchanger for cooling the process gas thereafter. A discharge vessel receives the process gas from the compression process and discharges the process gas at the final pressure to the destination volume.
