  • Fin and tube heat exchanger
    Patent number: 10415894
    Abstract: In accordance with certain embodiments, a cooler for multiple tube banks features a series of parallel and planar fins that have upstream louvers to direct incoming air through a fin near a first row of tubes and a downstream set of louvers near an adjacent tube row to direct air back through the same fin before the air exits. By way of example, the upstream louvers have the negative slope of the downstream louvers and a constant angle from louver to louver within a bank. A constant length in a section view may be provided.

  • Automatic test generation for reference testing
    Patent number: 8370814
    Abstract: A system for application reference testing (SMART) solves the technical problem of generating test data and test cases from graphical user interface applications (GAPs) to test web services, effectively and non-invasively. SMART allows organizations to easily and promptly identify and resolve software bugs, ensure higher quality software and development productivity, complete software projects faster, deliver software products to market quicker, and improve the return on investment for software development projects. SMART provides a user friendly visualization mechanism that interacts with an accessibility layer to enable organizations to economically and easily define user interactions with GAPs, by performing point-and-click, drag-and-drop operations on the GAPs, and generate reusable test data and test cases for web services.

  • Client-Server Architectures and Methods for Zoomable User Interfaces
    Publication number: 20100086022
    Abstract: Exemplary embodiments of the present invention provide methods and systems for communicating and processing data in communication networks, e.g., cable networks and/or interactive television networks. Selective use of different data streams and encoding techniques enable sophisticated user interfaces to be generated on client devices having varying processing capabilities. MPEG encoding techniques have reduced complexity to enable better response time to user requests. Specialized user interface features, such as hoverzooming, are enabled.
