Publication number: 20160304799Abstract: The present invention provides a system and method for producing hydrocarbons from biomass. The method is particularly useful for producing substitute natural gas from forestry residues. Certain disclosed embodiments convert a biomass feedstock into a product hydrocarbon by fast pyrolysis. The resulting pyrolysis gas is converted to the product hydrocarbon and carbon dioxide in the presence of hydrogen and steam while simultaneously generating the required hydrogen by reaction with steam under prescribed conditions for self-sufficiency of hydrogen. Methane is a preferred hydrocarbon product. A system also is disclosed for cycling the catalyst between steam reforming, methanation and regeneration zones.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 24, 2016Publication date: October 20, 2016Applicant: G4 Insights Inc.Inventors: Bowie G.

Publication number: 20160259832Abstract: Multidimensional databases are well-suited for viewing data at different levels of detail. Graph databases are well-suited for modeling data sets with complex relationships. A novel platform for analysis and planning is enabled by linking multidimensional and graph databases. Graphs are data structures stored in graph databases. Graphs use nodes and edges to model data elements, some of which are derived. A graph is traversed to derive new data elements. To perform analysis on the graph data elements, graph traversal paths are stored as tuples in a fact table. This fact table is in turn loaded into the multidimensional database by mapping the fact table's attribute columns to dimensions of the multidimensional database.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 5, 2016Publication date: September 8, 2016Applicant: Adaptive Insights, Inc.Inventors: Matthew Shore, Huned Botee, Joe Kuo, Suresh Balasubramhanya

Publication number: 20160078017Abstract: The present invention is a method and apparatus for narrative content generation using narrative frameworks by receiving a first phrase variation and a second phrase variation and displaying an error indication when the first phrase variation fails to satisfy a criterion relative to the second phrase variation. If there is an error indication, alternate phrase variations are received and compared against the first phrase variation until an alternate phrase variation is selected that has no error indication. Additionally, multiple sets of operators for updating one or more narrative phrases selected for inclusion in the narrative content framework may be utilized to update selected phrases after inclusion in the narrative framework but prior to finalizing the narrative content to be output.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 11, 2014Publication date: March 17, 2016Applicant: Automated Insights, Inc.Inventors: Robert Allen, Joe Procopio, Robert C Rogers

Patent number: 9000386Abstract: Digital images or the charge from pixels in light sensitive semiconductor based imagers may be used to detect gamma rays and energetic particles emitted by radioactive materials. Methods may be used to identify pixel-scale artifacts introduced into digital images and video images by high energy gamma rays. Statistical tests and other comparisons on the artifacts in the images or pixels may be used to prevent false-positive detection of gamma rays. The sensitivity of the system may be used to detect radiological material at distances in excess of 50 meters. Advanced processing techniques allow for gradient searches to more accurately determine the source's location, while other acts may be used to identify the specific isotope. Coordination of different imagers and network alerts permit the system to separate non-radioactive objects from radioactive objects.Type: GrantFiled: September 13, 2013Date of Patent: April 7, 2015Assignee: Image Insight Inc.Inventor: Eric P.

Patent number: 8701058Abstract: The current invention uses structural data mining methods and systems, combined with partitioning hints and heuristics, to locate high level library functional blocks in a gate level netlist of an integrated circuit (IC). In one embodiment of the invention, the library is created by synthesizing various design blocks and constraints. The method supports characterization matching between a netlist and a library, between libraries and between netlists. The data mining method described herein uses a subgraph growing method to progressively characterize the graph representation of the netlist of the IC. In one embodiment of the invention, alternative hashing is used to perform subgraph characterization. Further, the located high level functional blocks may be used to substitute the corresponding portions of the target netlist having the matched characterizations, and may be annotated accordingly in the resulting netlist.Type: GrantFiled: June 17, 2010Date of Patent: April 15, 2014Assignee: Semiconductor Insights Inc.Inventors: Vyacheslav L.
