Abstract: Data investigations are performed by querying a plurality of data sources. A system receives an investigation input and queries a plurality of data sources in accordance with the received input. The system receives, in response to the querying, response data from the plurality of data sources, and generates and stores a data structure representing relationships between the first investigation input and the first response data. The data structure may be in the form of a knowledge graph. The system may generate and display a visualization of the data structure. The system may generate and store a record of investigation steps used to generate the data structure, such that the investigation steps may be applied in future instances, for example using different inputs, to generate new data structures.

Abstract: An adaptor is disclosed for connecting a rotating electrical machine 12 to a prime mover 10. The adaptor comprises at least one air outlet. The adaptor is arranged to provide an increase in a cross-sectional area of air flow towards the outlet. In this way part of the dynamic pressure can be converted into additional static pressure rise through steady expansion of the air flow cross-section. This in turn may help to improve the overall amount of cooling air passing through the machine for a given fan input power.

Abstract: A three dimensional chess game method and apparatus which features four levels, one square, non-playing surface baseboard and four square sub-levels, one quarter the size of the baseboard, adjacent and above the base board at various heights. Sub-levels are divided into sixteen squares, by combining the squares from all of the sub-levels there are sixty-four possible playing positions. The King, queen, bishop and knight acquire three dimensional movement by using the height difference between sub-levels, and using square placement on each sub-levels as equal, when the king, queen, or bishop land on a square on any sub-level, all sub-levels holds a virtual playing piece on that square location. Three dimensional movement is obtained through rotation around center point of the chess board as the piece moves from sub-level to sub-level and X,Y and Z, movements between sub-levels which is utilized by the knight.

Abstract: Chess like board game apparatus designed to visualize certain concepts of science, such as chemistry, physics, and math. The board game apparatus features a plurality of sub levels, which includes a black non transparent base level and four transparent sub levels, labeled one through four. Each sub level is arranged into squares of alternating colors creating a four by four row/column array. Combining the squares from all of the sub level there are sixty-four possible playing positions. Looking at the board as four sub levels, the numerical designation for the row/column square on all sub levels are equal, thus the squares corresponding to that numerical value becomes a possible playing position. The bishop, queen and king, utilizes this rule for movement around the board, while vertical height difference between sub levels creates sixteen extra squares for the knight to utilize.

Abstract: A card game for playing in a casino environment, with a dealer and one or more players. Before play commences the players place an ante bet. Each player and the dealer are then dealt 2 cards. The object of the game is to get a pair of cards scoring higher than the dealer, with a wild card being able to make a pair with any other card and two wild cards being the highest score possible. Without a pair the score is determined by the sum of the cards numeric values. Before the dealer reveals their cards, the players inspect their cards and can either forfeit their ante bet, or place a further bet equivalent to the original ante bet. A side bet is also available for receiving one or two wild cards.
