  • Patent number: 12164485
    Abstract: Techniques for optimizing project data storage are disclosed. An example system includes processors and memories communicatively coupled with the processors storing a trained machine learning (ML) model, a nesting data module, a project database, and instructions that cause the processors to: receive a first data category corresponding to a project, execute the trained ML model to determine a predicted data category mapping for the first data category, execute the nesting data module to: input the first data category into a first table having a first file size, collapse the first table with a second table that includes a second data category that is related to the first data category to generate a nested table, and store the nested table in the project database. The nested table has a file size that is less than a combined file size of the first table and the second table.

  • Patent number: 10450411
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are film, fiber, molding composition and molded article including copolyesters that exhibit improved heat-resistance and thermo-mechanical stability. The copolyester is derived from an aliphatic glycol, an aromatic dicarboxylic acid selected from naphthalene dicarboxylic acid and terephthalic acid, and 5-50 mol % (based on 100 mole % of all glycols) of an additional monomer, bis(2-hydroxyalkyl)-2,2?-(1,4-phenylene)bis(1,3-dioxoisoindoline-5-carboxylate). The aromatic dicarboxylic acid is at least one of naphthalene dicarboxylic acid and terephthalic acid and the aliphatic glycol is selected from C2, C3 or C4 aliphatic diols. Furthermore, the copolyesters have crystallinity of at least 10%.
