Abstract: A data normalization system that normalizes data that includes user names is disclosed herein. The data normalization system converts, using a metaphone algorithm, a first string into a first metaphone string, and a second string into a second metaphone string. The data normalization system searches, based on the first metaphone string and the second metaphone string, a name index including a listing of metaphone strings representing common names and probabilities that the common names are either a given name or a surname. The data normalization system determines, based on searching the name index, a confidence score indicating a confidence level that the first string represents the given name and the second string represents the surname. The data normalization system determines that the confidence score meets or exceeds a threshold confidence score, and in response, determines that the first string represents the given name and the second string represents the surname.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for repairing and/or reinforcing a Boiling Water Reactor (BWR) jet pump riser pipe. The repair includes attaching two collars to the riser pipe using match drilling to drill holes through the collars and the riser pipe and plugging the holes with expandable plugs. Support columns are attached to the collars. Brace supports are slideably attached to the support columns. Gaps between each brace support and its respective collar are then narrowed as ratchet bolts may apply a force that pulls downward on an upper collar and pulls upward on a lower collar, thereby exerting a compression force on the riser pipe. A clamp assembly may also be located between the two collars that applies a hoop force on the riser pipe.
