  • Patent number: 9465631
    Abstract: An automatic caching system is described herein that automatically determines user-relevant points at which to incrementally cache expensive to obtain data, resulting in faster computation of dependent results. The system can intelligently choose between caching data locally and pushing computation to a remote location collocated with the data, resulting in faster computation of results. The automatic caching system uses stable keys to uniquely refer to programmatic identifiers. The system annotates programs before execution with additional code that utilizes the keys to associate and cache intermediate programmatic results. The system can maintain the cache in a separate process or even on a separate machine to allow cached results to outlive program execution and allow subsequent execution to utilize previously computed results. Cost estimations are performed in order to choose whether utilizing cached values or remote execution would result in a faster computation of a result.

  • Patent number: 9302337
    Abstract: A tube assembly for use in a heat exchanger is made by arranging a first corrugated fin structure between one broad, flat side of a tube and a side sheet, and arranging a second corrugated fin between another broad and flat side of a tube and another side sheet. Compressive forces are applied to the opposite faces of the side sheets to place crests and troughs of the corrugated fin structures into contact with the side sheets and the broad, flat sides, and the assembly is brazed.

  • Patent number: 9203909
    Abstract: A technique for enabling a plurality of software components to communicate in a software component matrix environment is disclosed. In one particular exemplary embodiment, the technique may be realized by a method for enabling a plurality of software components to communicate in a software component matrix environment comprising the steps of encoding a request at a client side; communicating the request to a server at a server side via a communication interface; comparing the request to a plurality of operations supported at the server side; determining whether a function match exists at the server side; and returning a response comprising the function match to the client side in response to the request via the communication interface wherein the response is mapped to a data model of a client.
