  • Patent number: 11727061
    Abstract: Various systems are provided for optimizing the searching of a graph for a portion that matches a pattern is provided. A Graph Search Optimization System (“GSOS”) provides various techniques for reducing the computational expense when searching for patterns within a graph. The GSOS provides techniques that include an edge-count directed (“ECD”) system, a derived constraint (“DC”) system, and a sorted property (“SP”) system. The ECD system matches a pattern in a direction based on the number of edges for that direction. The DC system derives a single-element constraint from a multi-element constraints to avoid having to check multiple elements. The SP system processes edges of a graph in a sorted order based on the value of a property of the edges.

  • Patent number: 9421913
    Abstract: A bracket for releasable securement of a cargo compartment floor, which is swingable about an axis in a vehicle in the opened position includes a holding device which, in an installed condition, can be swiveled or pushed from a starting position in which it projects from a surface of a cargo compartment lining elastically at least partially into the cargo compartment lining. A lighting device is provided in the part of the holding device which, in the starting position, projects from the cargo compartment lining.

  • Patent number: 7994664
    Abstract: A system for cooling a superconducting rotary machine includes a plurality of sealed siphon tubes disposed in balanced locations around a rotor adjacent to a superconducting coil. Each of the sealed siphon tubes includes a tubular body and a heat transfer medium disposed in the tubular body that undergoes a phase change during operation of the machine to extract heat from the superconducting coil. A siphon heat exchanger is thermally coupled to the siphon tubes for extracting heat from the siphon tubes during operation of the machine.

  • Patent number: 6391122
    Abstract: A novel cleaning-in-place process is described. The process is one which is segmented, and unused solution is pumped through more than two components of a machine targeted for cleaning, disinfecting or both. The process also results in superior cleaning in shorter cleaning cycles.
