  • Patent number: 11921765
    Abstract: Mechanisms for the systematic iterative analysis of unstructured data files are disclosed. A first handler is initiated to analyze a plurality of files. Information about each respective file of the plurality of files analyzed by the first handler is stored in a data structure. The information includes a file identifier that identifies the respective file, a handler identifier that identifies the first handler, and results or a reference to results of an analysis of the respective file by the first handler.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10712048
    Abstract: A molten salt central receiver arrangement for transferring heat from panels to a molten salt that flows through the panels. A control device allows to change the condition of at least one of the panel arrangements of the molten salt central receiver arrangement depending on at least an operating parameter of at least one panel and/or depending on an environment signal that characterizes the actual or forecast available heat for the heat transfer to the molten salt. In normal operation passes, each having one or more panels, are connected in series such that molten salt flows in a serpentine or alternating way upward and downward through subsequent passes. In a parallel flow condition, molten salt may flow upward through all of the panels in parallel. In a drain condition, the molten salt is forced out of one or more panels and replaced by compressed air.
