20140358829 | System and method for sharing record linkage information - Herein disclosed is a system and method for record linkage that uses machine learning to link records, so that many users can contribute their training data to a shared repository and employ the accumulated training data without any user having to share their actual data. The system includes a record linkage server, which further includes a record linkage repository, a domain classifier, and a domain classification trainer. The record linkage server is connected with a record linkage client, which includes a field comparator and a manual label prompter. Further disclosed is a method for record linkage, describing how two structured data sets can be matched, including searching domains, loading data sets, loading domain, matching fields, iterating record linking for all record pairs, including: selecting record pair, calculating comparison vector, calculating label probabilities, determining label, optionally setting label manually, updating prior probabilities, optionally confirming selected label, and updating training data. | 12-04-2014 |

20080251442 | Fluid Treatment Assemblies and Elements and Methods for Making Them - Fluid treatment assemblies and elements may include a plurality of axially extending pleats and may be used to treat fluids, including gases, liquids, or mixtures of gases, and/or solids, in a crossflow mode of operation. For example, some fluid treatment assemblies and elements may be used to remove one or more substances from the fluid and may then function as separators, including filters and concentrators. Other fluid treatment assemblies and elements may be used to transfer substances between two fluid streams and may then function as mass transfer devices. | 10-16-2008 |
20080251444 | SEPARATION DEVICES AND PROCESSES - A separation device comprises a cylindrical separation pack including a spirally wound porous medium, a feed channel including a shear region, a plurality of permeate passages extending along the permeate side of the porous medium opposite the shear region and perpendicular to the feed channel, a feed inlet, a retentate outlet, and a plurality of permeate outlets. | 10-16-2008 |
20090255877 | FLUID TREATMENT ARRANGEMENTS AND METHODS - Fluid treatment arrangements and methods involve a spirally wound fluid treatment pack. The fluid treatment pack includes a fluid treatment medium, a feed region, and a permeate region. The feed region extends along a feed surface of the fluid treatment medium and the permeate region extends along a permeate surface of the fluid treatment medium. The fluid treatment pack is spirally wound around a core assembly to form a plurality of windings of the feed region, a plurality of windings of the fluid treatment medium, and a plurality of windings of the permeate region. | 10-15-2009 |
20100018924 | FLUID TREATMENT ARRANGEMENTS AND METHODS - Fluid treatment arrangements and methods involve a plurality of fluid treatment modules and a core assembly that extends through the plurality of fluid treatment modules. Each fluid treatment module has a feed region, a permeate region, and a fluid treatment medium separating the feed region from the permeate region. The feed region extends along a feed surface of the fluid treatment medium, and the permeate region extends along a permeate surface of the fluid treatment region. Feed fluid is directed along the feed region of each module, and a portion of the feed fluid passes as permeate through the fluid treatment medium, into the permeate region, and then into the core assembly. One or more control mechanisms are fluidly coupled to the permeate region of one or more fluid treatment modules to control a flow parameter in the permeate region of the module. | 01-28-2010 |
20100193437 | FLUID TREATMENT ELEMENTS AND FLUID TREATMENT ARRANGEMENTS WITH FLUID TREATMENT ELEMENTS HAVING DIFFERENT FLUID TREATEMENT CHARACTERISTICS AND METHODS FOR MAKING AND USING THEM - Fluid treatment arrangements and elements and methods for making and using fluid treatment arrangements and elements are disclosed. A ribbon including a permeable fluid treatment medium may be spirally wound in a plurality of windings to form a fluid treatment element having a disk-shaped body. At least two and as many as many as fifty or more fluid treatment elements may be positioned along a core assembly with spaces between at least some of the adjacent fluid treatment elements to form a fluid treatment arrangement. For some embodiments, fluid flowing between the exterior of the fluid treatment arrangement and the interior of the core assembly may flow through a permeable fluid treatment medium having a first fluid treatment characteristic and a permeable fluid treatment medium having a different second fluid treatment characteristic. For some embodiments, fluid flowing between the exterior of the fluid treatment arrangement and the interior of the core assembly may flow through a fluid treatment element having a first fluid treatment characteristic and a functional material having a different second fluid treatment characteristic. | 08-05-2010 |
20110083995 | Method for haze mitigation and filterability improvement base stocks - The present invention is a process for removing waxy haze from and improving the filterability of base stocks including heavy mineral oil base stocks, gas-to-liquids (GTL) and hydrodewaxed or hydroisomerized waxy feed basestocks by filtering the waxy haze causing particles out of the base stock employing a filter characterized by a high surface area of pores accessible to the haze wax particles which have particles dimensions of no more than about 5 microns. | 04-14-2011 |
