Patent number: 11803528Abstract: Various methods, apparatuses/systems, and media for generating a data structure are provided. A database stores a historic version of taxonomy data and a new version of taxonomy data. A processor, operatively connected to the database, accesses the database and analyzes the historic version of taxonomy data and the new version of taxonomy data. The processor determines what changes have been made in connection with a particular reference data based on analyzing the historic version of taxonomy data and the new version of taxonomy data; creates, based on determining, an association between the historic version of taxonomy data and the new version of taxonomy data corresponding to said particular reference data; generates consistent metadata from said association; and generates a data structure that illustrates history of evolution of taxonomy in connection with said particular reference data based on the metadata.Type: GrantFiled: February 5, 2021Date of Patent: October 31, 2023Assignee: JPMORGAN CHASE BANK, N.A.Inventors: Nick Dowler, Andrew Key, Yao Yao, Spyros Soukeras, Cy Lloyd Jones, Daren Clarke

Patent number: 11578624Abstract: The present invention is related to a multiple-inlet turbine casing (16) for a turbine rotor (60) which comprises a first fluid supply channel (70) configured to direct a first working fluid onto the turbine rotor (60) and a second fluid supply channel (74) configured to direct a second working fluid to impart torque on the turbine rotor (60) in the same direction as the direction in which torque is imparted on the turbine rotor (60) by the first working fluid. The first working fluid is an exhaust gas from an internal combustion engine and the second fluid may be steam and the turbine may be an inverted-Brayton-cycle turbine for recovery of waste energy from the exhaust gas of said internal combustion engine. Thus, the number of turbine rotors is reduced in comparison to a system comprising a single turbine for each distinct working fluid.Type: GrantFiled: April 28, 2018Date of Patent: February 14, 2023Assignee: HIETA TECHNOLOGIES LIMITEDInventors: Colin Douglas Copeland, Robert Ceen, Simon Lloyd Jones, Andrew Robert Jones
