Abstract: Cathodic protection of steel in a concrete column in sea water is simplified by providing a pre-assembled unit including a jacket to surround the column carrying a bulk sacrificial anode outside the jacket and optionally an inner sacrificial anode of a zinc mesh or strips on an inside surface. The jacket can also include a pre-assembled junction box and couplings to connect to the steel. The jacket is attached to the surface of the column at the water line so that the bulk anode is located below the surface of the water and supported relative to the concrete surface solely by the connection of the bulk anode to the covering layer. The bulk anode can be formed of aluminum so as to be less toxic in sea water.

Abstract: The invention concerns linguistic analysis. In particular the invention involves a method of operating a computer to perform linguistic analysis. In another aspect the invention is a computer system which implements the method, and in a further aspect the invention is software for programming a computer to perform the method.

Abstract: Cathodic protection of steel in a concrete column in sea water is simplified by providing a pre-assembled unit including a jacket to surround the column carrying a bulk sacrificial anode outside the jacket and optionally an inner sacrificial anode with a cast grout inside the jacket. The jacket can also include a pre-assembled junction box and couplings to connect to the steel. The jacket is attached to the surface of the column at the water line so that the bulk anode is located below the surface of the water. The bulk anode can be formed of aluminum so as to be less toxic in sea water. An activator is applied inside the jacket either as a wicking layer or as a chemical activating material. The jacket can act only as a form work which is then removed after casting of the grout.

Abstract: Approaches to using unstructured input to update heterogeneous data stores include receiving unstructured text input, receiving a template for interpreting the unstructured text input, identifying, using an entity classifier, entities in the unstructured text input, identifying one or more potential parent entities from the identified entities based on the template, receiving a selection of a parent entity from the one or more potential parent entities, identifying one or more potential child entities from the identified entities based on the template and the selected parent entity, receiving a selection of a child entity from the one or more potential child entities, identifying an action item in the unstructured text input based on the identified entities and the template, determining, using an intent classifier, an intent of the action item, and updating a data store based on the determined intent, the identified entities, and the selected child entity.

Abstract: The invention concerns linguistic analysis. In particular the invention involves a method of operating a computer to perform linguistic analysis. In another aspect the invention is a computer system which implements the method, and in a further aspect the invention is software for programming a computer to perform the method. The method comprising the steps of: receiving a list of elements, storing them in a list of sets, and then repeatedly matching patterns stored in the set's elements and storing their result in the list until no new matches are found. For each match comprising the steps: Creating a new consolidated set (overphrase) to store the full representation of the phrase as a new element, migrating the head element specified in the phrase, all phrase attributes, storing the matched elements in sequence, and copying tagged copies of the matched elements. After the consolidated set is created and filled, linkset intersections to effect WSD is performed.

Abstract: A method of operating a computer to perform linguistic analysis includes the steps of splitting an input text into words and sentences; for each sentence, comparing phrases in the sentence with known phrases stored in a database, as follows: for each word in the sentence, comparing its value and values of words following it with values of words of stored phrases, starting with the longest stored phrase that starts with that word, and working from longest to shortest; in the event a match is found for two or more consecutive words, and considering the words around the phrase, labelling the matched phrase with an overphrase that describes the grammar use of the matched phrase; after the penultimate word has been compared, recasting the sentence by replacing the matched phrases by their respective overphrases; and then repeating the comparison process with the recast sentence until there is no further recasting.
