Abstract: A masking tool for a turbine component configured to receive and cover a portion of the turbine component includes a first casing part and a second casing part configured to engage the first casing part to form a chamber configured to receive a portion of the turbine component. The first and second casing parts are configured to leave part of the turbine component exposed to atmosphere when the first and second casing parts are secured together and receive the turbine component. The first and second casing parts are configured to be compressed against each other when secured together. In addition, the first and second casing parts are configured to seal a space containing portions of the turbine component without an elastomeric seal.

Abstract: Natural language generation technology is disclosed that applies artificial intelligence to structured data to determine content for expression in natural language narratives that describe the structured data. A graph data structure is employed, where the graph data structure comprises a plurality of nodes. Each of a plurality of the nodes (1) represents a corresponding intent so that a plurality of different nodes represent different corresponding intents and (2) is associated with one or more links to one or more of the nodes to define relationships among the intents.

Abstract: Disclosed is a self-drilling resin anchored rock bolt with an elongate body of a suitable metal material extending between distal and proximal ends; and a drill bit engaged to the distal end; which body includes a threaded portion at the proximal end, a resin bore which extends through the elongate body, opening at each of the ends, a first integral anchor on the body, including integrally formed paddle formations; wherein the drill bit engaged with the body has a resin conduit which communicates an exterior of the drill bit with the resin bore; wherein the threaded portion has a first section, with a first thread density, extending from the proximal end, and a second section, with a second thread density, starting at the end of the first section and extending towards the distal end; and wherein the first thread density is lower than the second thread density.

Abstract: Natural language generation technology is disclosed that applies artificial intelligence to structured data to determine content for expression in natural language narratives that describe the structured data. A story graph is employed, where the story graph comprises a plurality of items of content to be expressed in a natural language narrative. A processor executes code corresponding to any of a plurality of structurers that organize the items of content into different story outlines from which the natural language narratives are generated, wherein the different structurers comprise different operating rules and/or parameters that implement different strategies for organizing the items of content into the story outlines.
