  • Patent number: 11931671
    Abstract: A three-stage tubular T-shaped degassing device with microbubble axial flow and spiral flow fields is provided, which is applied to quick degassing of a gas-liquid two-phase flow. The three-stage tubular T-shaped degassing device adopts a quick degassing technology combining a microbubble uniform mixed rotational axial flow field and a spiral runner conical spiral flow field with layered jet collision reversing depth degassing. A microbubble uniform mixer is configured to adjust gas-liquid two-phase flow containing big bubbles into microbubble uniform mixed axial flow. A microbubble cyclone is configured to adjust the microbubble uniform mixed axial flow into multiple strands of rotational axial flows containing microbubbles. A rotational axial flow degasser implements the horizontal type microbubble uniform mixed multiple strands rotational axial flow degassing operation to remove most microbubbles to form axial flow gas and axial flow liquid.

  • Patent number: 8751511
    Abstract: An information retrieval system is described herein that monitors a microblog data stream that includes microblog posts to discover and index fresh resources for searching by a search engine. The information retrieval system also uses data from the microblog data stream as well as data obtained from a microblog subscription system to compute novel and effective features for ranking fresh resources which would otherwise have impoverished representations. An embodiment of the present invention advantageously enables a search engine to produce a fresher set of resources and to rank such resources for both relevancy and freshness in a more accurate manner.
