Publication number: 20240087009Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer programs are presented for reconciling a transaction against data in a database to identify the transaction parameters based on text descriptors provided for the transaction. One method includes an operation for identifying features for reconciling transactions of a first entity by a machine-learning program. The features include, at least, a description of the transaction, a name of a second entity in the transaction, a location of the second entity, and an account for the transaction. The machine-learning program is trained with training data that includes values of the features for previously reconciled transactions. A received first transaction includes a description, a date, and an amount. The first transaction is input for the machine-learning program, which generates one or more suggestions for reconciling the first transaction. Each suggestion includes the name of the second entity in the first transaction and an account.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 22, 2023Publication date: March 14, 2024Applicant: Xero LimitedInventors: Kieran Gorman, Craig Walker

The processor presents an entity search tool comprising a plurality of search criteria sets. Each search criteria set comprising a first selector, a second selector, and a third selector. The processor receives a selection in the first selector, the second selector, and the third selector. The selections are indicative of selected search criteria. The processor identifies a result indicative of at least a portion of the entity information from the one or more entity corresponding to the selected search criteria. The processor presents the result on the display device.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 12, 2015Publication date: November 17, 2016Inventor: Craig Walker

Patent number: 8898578Abstract: A system and method for generating a conference call within a social network is disclosed. The participants are all members of an affinity group and they communicate with each other using different social streams. When the stream becomes too complicated, a participant transforms the social stream into a conference call so that the discussion is held in real-time. The participant that requests the conference call is designated as a moderator. The moderator controls the conference, including the members of the affinity group, through a user interface. Once the conference is established a notification can be sent to invitees and other members of the affinity group. The notification can also be published on a social network.Type: GrantFiled: September 27, 2011Date of Patent: November 25, 2014Assignee: Google Inc.Inventors: Greg Hecht, Anthony Jawad, Michel Ossesia, Stu Blair, Jacob Hesch, Craig Walker, Marcus Foster, Vincent Paquet

Patent number: 8070860Abstract: An H2-permeable membrane system (117) comprises an electroless-deposited plating (115) of Pd or Pd alloy on a porous support (110, 110?). The Pd plating comprises face-centered cubic crystals cumulatively having a morphology of hexagonal platelets. The permeability to H2 of the membrane plating (115) on the porous support is significantly enhanced, being at least greater than about 1.3×10?8 mol·m?1·s?·Pa?0.5 at 350° C., and even greater than about 3.4×10?8 mol·m?1·s?1·Pa?0.5. The porous support (110, 110?) may be stainless steel (1100 and include a thin ceramic interlayer (110?) on which the Pd is plated. The method of providing the electroless-deposited plating includes preheating a Pd electroless plating solution to near a plating temperature substantially greater than room temperature, e.g. 60° C., prior to plating.Type: GrantFiled: September 28, 2006Date of Patent: December 6, 2011Assignee: United Technologies CorporationInventors: Thomas Henry Vanderspurt, Ying She, Zissis Dardas, Craig Walker, James D.

Publication number: 20090000480Abstract: The materials of adjoining porous metal substrate (12), oxide (14), and Pd-alloy membrane (16) layers of a composite, H2—separation palladium membrane (10) have respective thermal expansion coefficients (TEC) which differ from one another so little as to resist failure by TEC mismatch from thermal cycling. TEC differences (20, 22) of less than 3 ?m/(m.k) between materials of adjacent layers are achieved by a composite system of a 446 stainless steel substrate, an oxide layer of 4 wt % yittria-zirconia, and a 77 wt % Pd-23 wt % Ag or 60 wt % Pd-40 wt % Cu, membrane, having TECs of 11, 11, and 13.9 ?m/(m.k), respectively. The Intermediate oxide layer comprises particles forming pores having an average pore sizeless than 5 microns, and preferably less than about 3 microns, in thickness.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 23, 2005Publication date: January 1, 2009Inventors: Zissis Dardas, Ying She, Thomas Henry Vanderspurt, Jean Yamanis, Craig Walker
