Abstract: A novel mechanism for reducing boundary layer friction and inhibiting the effects of uncontrolled fluid turbulence and turbulent layer separation, thus reducing the body drag, kinetic energy losses and lowering engine and pump fuel consumption is proposed. It steps on the type of turbulence observed in the so-called in fluid dynamics “drag crisis”. Plurality of device shapes and plurality of devices producing the wanted pure form of even plurality of counter-rotating vortices extending into the flow, i.e. tubes, are presented and discussed in detail, contrasting with the prior art. Configurations of multiple devices for the purposes of drag and fuel reduction, including their simulations and experimental results are put forward. Additional embodiments of the resulting tubes disclose use on aircraft or vessel control surfaces as stall inhibitors, use in wind turbines as dynamic range extenders, as well as use in turbines in efficient cooling mechanisms.

Abstract: A system and method are provided for unfolding large datasets with an on demand resolution in one or more points of interest on a non-linear fixed length graph axis. The system includes one or more integrable function families configured to provide one or more integrable functions. The system further comprises a client application configured to capture and/or evaluate data unfold resolution requirements, adjust the axis resolution in a point-by-point fashion while preserving the physical axis dimensions, render axis tickmarks, adjust the axis upon data point selection, and display the selection to the user.

Abstract: Embodiments of a system and method are provided for ranking the contents of one or more documents, applications, sound or visual media through human assistance. The system includes one or more search engines configured to provide one or more documents, applications, sound or visual media based on a search query sent by a user. Further, the system includes a client application configured to capture the query sent by the user and the keyword tags provided by the documents, applications, sound or visual media author. The client application monitors one or more interactions of the user with the one or more documents, applications, sound or visual media for one or more events and provides a relevance measure to the one or more documents, applications, sound or visual media based on the captured query or tags, and the one or more events.
