  • Publication number: 20240143918
    Abstract: A system for facilitating text analysis is configurable to (i) receive input text data comprising a set of reference text and at least a first set of text, wherein the set of reference text and the first set of text each comprise structured components; process the input text data utilizing a syntax and verb usage module of a natural language processing (NLP) layer; generate a mapping of structured components of the first set of text to structured components of the set of reference text by processing output of the syntax and verb usage module utilizing a similarity analysis module or a categorization module of the NLP layer; and generate an output depicting one or more aspects of the mapping.

  • Patent number: 11772987
    Abstract: A multi-functional slurry processing system (“VARCOR”) and associated methods is disclosed. The present examples provide a multi-functional slurry processing system incorporating systems and methods for separating liquid and solid components in slurries. In particular the systems and methods described herein produce clean water, dried solids, and potential concentration of desirable constituents with a boiling point lower than water. At least one example of the multi-functional slurry processing system provides a self-contained processing facility configured to efficiently convert high water-content slurries into its constituent solid and liquid fractions and subsequently generating and collecting clean water and concentrating desirable constituents with a boiling point lower than water.

  • Patent number: 4153389
    Abstract: A plastic fan configured for attachment to a fan drive in a manner in which cooling air will be promoted to flow from the rear of the fan drive across the rear fins of the fan drive and through the blades of the fan. The flow of air across the rear fins increases heat dissipation from the fan drive. The fan has a plurality of radially extending circumferentially spaced blades secured to an axially extending hub portion. The hub portion is configured to be radially spaced from the fan drive to define an annular passage. Further, the front edge of the hub portion is spaced rearwardly from the forward portion of the rear fins of the fan drive to define a slot for cooling air to flow substantially unrestricted through the annular passage and to the blades of the fan.

  • Patent number: 4040272
    Abstract: An accessory drive for rotating a fan used to cool a transversely mounted engine in a vehicle. A declutchable device, such as a viscous fan drive, has one element driven by the engine. The other element is connected to one end of the core of an elongated flexible shaft. The other end of the core is connected to the fan which is mounted in a known manner relative to the radiator of the vehicle to draw cooling air through the radiator and thereby cool the engine. The mounting of the declutchable device ahead of the flexible shaft allows for a reduction in the angular velocity of the core thereby increasing the life of the flexible shaft.
