Abstract: To facilitate efficient entity resolution, systems and methods include a first dataset is received from a first database associated with a first entity and a second dataset is received from a second database associated with a second entity. A geo-grid is mapped to a geographical area covering the first entity data records and the second entity data records. A grid matching area in the geo-grid is generated for each first entity data record based on latitude data and longitude data of each first entity data record. Candidate matching records are determined from the second entity data records based on respective grid matching areas. Actual matching records are determined from the candidate matching records based on a threshold for a trigram similarity between each candidate matching record and the respective first entity data record. The actual matching records are associated with the respective first entity data record in the first database.

Abstract: A forming device is configured to form metal laminated sheet material into a tray-shaped case half while allowing the material to form pleats in the corners of the recess during the forming process while preventing formation of pleats along the flange. The device forms the flange so that excess material in the corners of the case halves is arranged in an undulating shape. As a result, the flange has a waved or ruffled configuration at each corner. Two such case halves are sealed together along the flange to form a reliably sealed package. A method of forming pouch cell is also described.

Abstract: To generate a melody, one or more machine-readable constraints are accepted from a user through a user interface. The constraints include rhythm constraints and pitch constraints. A sequence of musical elements is generated based on the constraints, each of the musical elements specifying, in machine-readable data, a musical pitch or silence and a duration of the musical pitch or silence. The pitch constraints prescribe pitches in the sequence of musical elements and the rhythm constraints prescribe rhythm of the sequence of musical elements. The sequence of musical elements is rendered in human-perceivable form as a melody.
