Abstract: A method of efficiently extracting large data sets from a database may include receiving a first result set from a first query executed on one or more data sources. The one or more data sources may use a first schema when the first query was executed. The method may also include receiving a second result set from a second query executed on the one or more data sources. The one or more data sources may use a second schema when the second query was executed. The method may further include generating a view that combines the first result set and the second result set. The view may resolve differences between the first schema and the second schema.

Abstract: A method of efficiently extracting large data sets from a database includes receiving a query to be executed on a first view of one or more data sources, where previous result sets resulting from previous queries are stored separately from the one or more data sources. The method also includes receiving a current result set from the one or more data sources that is responsive to the query, where the query is reformatted before it is executed such that the result set does not overlap with the previous result sets. The method additionally includes generating a second view that combines the current result set and the one or more previous result sets, where the second view resolves changes in a schema of the one or data sources between when the previous result sets were received and when the current result set is received.

Abstract: A compressor that includes a frame, a rotor assembly, and a heat sink assembly. The rotor assembly includes a bearing assembly to which the heat sink assembly is secured. The compressor is configured such that, during use, air is drawn through the interior of the frame. The heat sink assembly then extends radially from the bearing assembly into the air path through the frame such that the air flows over the heat sink assembly.

Abstract: Social networking system users generate news stories including a link to news content external to the social networking system. The news stories may be filtered based on filter criteria allowing a viewing user to more easily identify news stories of interest. For example, the news stories may be filtered to identify news stories associated with a user connected to the viewing user, to identify news stories associated with a news source, to identify news stories associated with a key word, or based on previous interactions by the viewing user. The identified news stories may be ranked based on popularity of the identified news stories among other users, chronological data, and the viewing user's own interest and activity associated with a news source or news story.

Abstract: A method of operation of a social filter system includes: identifying a user with a user account; identifying a socially connected account from the user account, the socially connected account having a social association; selecting a content of interest from a content store of contents of interest based on the social association; and sending the content of interest for displaying on a user device.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an apparatus, system or method for reducing pressure in a gas flow for a gas let-down system. The present invention further relates to an apparatus, system or method for drying gas. A system (10) for reducing pressure in a gas flow for a gas let-down system comprises an expander (102) driven by gas at a first pressure expanding to a second pressure, and a compressor (104) for compressing the gas from the second pressure to a third pressure, whereby the third pressure is lower than the first pressure and the third pressure is higher than the second pressure. By first expanding the gas and then compressing the gas the intermediate temperature of the gas at the second pressure is lower than if the gas is expanded directly to the third pressure.

Abstract: A social networking system includes a question and answer system that displays to a viewing user questions and answers provides by other users of the social networking system. The question and answer system may display answers to a particular question in a way that visually indicates both the global answer set and a subset of the global answer set, such as the viewing user's friends. The social networking system may also display to a viewing user news stories about another user asking or answering a question, where the format of the displayed new stories is based on an affinity that the viewing user has for the user who provided the question or answer mentioned in the news story. The displayed questions and/or answers may be associated with an object in the social networking system, where the user interface provides additional information about those objects.
