Publication number: 20240119418Abstract: An information exchange platform referred to as a Trading Grid (TG) may perform relationship-based data processing utilizing a trading partner (TP) graph that describes relationships amongst operating units (OUs) on the TG. When the TG receives a request from an OU to exchange data with a TP, the TG accesses the TP graph and determines a relationship between the OU and their TP as reflected in the TP graph. The TP graph is maintained and controlled by the system independently of the OU and the TP. The TG may route the data based on instructions associated with the relationship that is reflected in the TP graph. The instructions associated with the relationship may specify network based services provided by the TG. An orchestration component may operate to orchestrate the performance of the network based services. The TG then communicates the processed and/or produced data to the TP.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 18, 2023Publication date: April 11, 2024Inventors: Ricardo Ceppi, John Theodore Radko, Miguel Garcia

Publication number: 20230419247Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for producing tradeable environmental attributes such as carbon offsets from the physical movements of users. The solution incorporates the use of a modal shift optimization application executed on a user's device. The application locates alternative transport options, and monitors the user's physical movements as the user travels to the destination using one of the alternative transport options. A carbon offset system receives the user's trip data and calculates project greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions for the user's journey. The carbon offset system also calculates baseline GHG emissions for a baseline transport option. The carbon offset system obtains data on the GHG emissions avoided by determining a difference between the baseline and project emissions and subtracting for leakage; the GHG emissions avoided can be validated and verified for the production of carbon offsets.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 6, 2023Publication date: December 28, 2023Inventors: David OLIVER GOMILA, Arturo Miguel Garcia, Svend Andersen

The solution incorporates the use of a modal shift optimization application executed on a user's device. The application locates alternative transport options, and monitors the user's physical movements as the user travels to the destination using one of the alternative transport options. A carbon offset system receives the user's trip data and calculates project greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions for the user's journey. The carbon offset system also calculates baseline GHG emissions for a baseline transport option (e.g. single-occupancy private vehicle trip), based at least in part on the baseline emissions factor and a discount factor. The carbon offset system extracts the GHG emissions savings by determining a difference between the baseline and project emissions, which can be validated and verified for the production of carbon offsets.Type: GrantFiled: March 7, 2019Date of Patent: October 3, 2023Assignee: Greenlines Technology Inc.Inventors: David Oliver Gomila, Arturo Miguel Garcia, Svend Andersen

Patent number: 11603810Abstract: The invention relates to an internal combustion engine that comprises a first Brayton cycle comprising a mixed ionic-electronic conducting (MIEC) membrane that separates the O2 from the air such that the suctioned air current is free from N2; a second Brayton cycle combined in a binary manner with the first Brayton cycle and nested with a cycle selected from an Otto cycle and a diesel cycle performed by means of oxy-combustion. The second Brayton cycle transmits mechanical energy and thermal energy from exhaust gases to the first Brayton cycle. The first Brayton cycle provides to the second Brayton cycle compressed O2 from the MIEC membrane. By means of the present engine, the NOx emission into the atmosphere is prevented by the separation of N2 in the MIEC membrane.Type: GrantFiled: March 21, 2020Date of Patent: March 14, 2023Assignees: UNIVERSITAT POLITÉCNICA DE VALÉNCIA, CONSEJO SUPERIOR DE INVESTIGACIONES CIENTÍFICAS (CSIC)Inventors: Francisco José Arnau Martínez, Jesús Vicente Benajes Calvo, David Catalán Martínez, José María Desantes Fernández, Luis Miguel García-Cuevas González, José Manuel Serra Alfaro, José Ramón Serrano Cruz
