Abstract: A fluidkinetic energy converter includes a passageway-filled enclosure. Turbines are mounted in the passageways and fluid flow may be concentrated on subparts of the turbines by inner fluid flow deflectors or dividers. The energy converter enclosure can include dividers at both inlets and outlets in order to be adaptable for either river or tidal environments. Notably, apart from the turbines and energy generating components, the enclosure may be implemented such as to have no moving parts, thereby reducing complexity, cost, and weight.

Abstract: A method and system for analyzing and reporting institutional investments provides a single platform for daily investment accounting, compliance, performance, and risk reports for investment portfolios held at single or multiple custody/safekeeping locations. The method involves retrieving transaction data from multiple independent financial institutions and storing it in a database in a standardized format and retrieving security data from one or more security information service providers and storing it in the database. The method further involves applying a uniform set of customized accounting, compliance, risk and performance parameters to the transaction data and security data stored in the database and, in response to a user request, calculating and reporting selected data to the user in accordance with the uniform accounting, compliance, risk and performance parameters.
