Title: Adiabatic liquid air energy storage system
Inventor: JAMES MACNAGHTEN
IPC: F25J1/00
Filed: 2015-02-05
Abstract: An adiabatic, liquid air, energy storage (ALAES) system, wherein air flows, in a charging mode, successively downstream through a first compression stage 11, a TES system 40 where thermal energy is removed and stored, and a Liquid Air (LAIR) sub-system 50 that liquefies the air and stores it on charging, and re-vaporises it on discharging, whereby discharged air flows successively back through the first TES system 40 where thermal energy is returned to it and a first expansion stage 14 where it is expanded to generate power. A pre-heater 46 provided upstream of the first compression stage 11 preheats its inlet air such that the first TES system receives and stores heat of a higher temperature, thereby increasing the energy density and efficiency of the system. The ALAES system may be integrated with a gas turbine power generating system. The preheater 46 may be a heat exchanger and may receive waste heat from a heat exchanger downstream of the TES system 40 during charging.

Title: System and method for matching data using probabilistic modeling techniques
Inventor: BANSAL SHUBH
IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 2013-08-16
Abstract: A system and method for matching data using probabilistic modeling techniques is provided. The system includes a computer system and a data matching model/engine. The present invention precisely and automatically matches and identifies entities from approximately matching short string text (e.g., company names, product names, addresses, etc.) by pre-processing datasets using a near-exact matching model and a fingerprint matching model, and then applying a fuzzy text matching model. More specifically, the fuzzy text matching model applies an Inverse Document Frequency function to a simple data entry model and combines this with one or more unintentional error metrics/measures and/or intentional spelling variation metrics/measures through a probabilistic model. The system can be autonomous and robust, and allow for variations and errors in text, while appropriately penalizing the similarity score, thus allowing dataset linking through text columns.
