  • Publication number: 20250046110
    Abstract: The invention proposes a method that receives an unstructured document at the input, extracts its information, reorganizes and makes this information available in files that can be consumed by other systems. The method for extracting and structuring information comprises a (1) document page separator model, (2) block detection and segmentation model, (3) table extractor, (4) image extractor, (5) image classification model, (6) text extractor, (7) computer vision model for improving the image quality of the texts, (8) optical character recognition model, (09) model for spelling correction, (10) models for semantic enrichment of the text, (11) output file organizer and (12) metadata aggregator for information enrichment. There is also part of the invention a synthetic document generator that serves to create a training base made up of millions of synthetic documents, which emulate real documents commonly used by the O&G industry in different layout variations.

  • Publication number: 20230243684
    Abstract: A Coriolis flow sensor includes a metal flow tube and an enclosure. The enclosure encloses the flow tube and is constructed at least partially from a gamma transparent material. The metal flow tube may be constructed from stainless steel. The gamma transparent material and the flow tube are thin enough to permit sterilization of an interior of the flow tube by gamma irradiation of the flow tube through the gamma transparent material. The enclosure is also shaped to facilitate locking and unlocking the Coriolis flow sensor in place on a mounting structure.

  • Patent number: 8219135
    Abstract: The present invention refers to a method for establishing a communication network that connects a group or community of users using wireless equipments according to their defined interests. These equipments are preferentially portable, low cost, and user-friendly, where each equipment must be configurable using its user's profile, which contains a small amount of the user's personal data, namely the miniprofile. The method uses a collection of such miniprofiles to transparently set a communication network among the associate users to establish a virtual community. In addition, each profile will contain further information on user's interests, which the method will propagate across the communication network to the established virtual community in a way that their members will be able to form groups based on common interests while allowing for interaction among their members. The user profile can be set identifiable or anonymous, may or not be shareable in relation to the other members of a group.

  • Publication number: 20110161469
    Abstract: The present invention refers to a method for establishing communication between equipments within groups and/or communities, which are formed according to the interest of each user. The equipments are programmable, allowing inserting predicates based on the interests of the user, creating interest bands. The communication equipment syntonizes the interests of an user with the interests of a group. The interest bands are formed with predicates which contain both anonymous and identified information; in this case, the user allows such information to be shared with all or with groups of same interest bands. The method is preferably distributed and communication is spontaneous and volatile.

  • Patent number: 7884230
    Abstract: A process for the chemical recycling of post consumption polyethylene terephthalate which includes the steps of performing the depolymerization of polyethylene terephthalate based upon a hydrolysis reaction which causes a rupture in of the ester bonds formed between the polymer precursors of terephthalic acid and ethylene glycol at the time of polymerization to recover terephthalic acid and ethylene glycol. The advantages of the present process are the working conditions at low to moderate pressure, at temperatures of 215 to 450° C., allowing the process to reach the energy level required to achieve the desired polyethylene terephthalate hydrolysis and simultaneously promoting the separation and purification of the terephthalic acid and ethylene glycol formed in this hydrolysis reaction.
