  • Publication number: 20110131017
    Abstract: A high fidelity distributed plant simulation technique includes a plurality of separate simulation modules that may be stored and executed separately in different drops or computing devices. The simulation modules communicate directly with one another to perform accurate simulation of a plant, without requiring a centralized coordinator to coordinate the operation of the simulation system. In particular, numerous simulation modules are created, with each simulation module including a model of an associated plant element and these simulation modules are stored in different drops of a computer network to perform distributed simulation of a plant or a portion of a plant. At least some of the simulation modules, when executing, perform mass flow balances taking into account process variables associated with adjacent simulation modules to thereby assure pressure, temperature and flow balancing (i.e., conservation of mass flow) through the entire simulation system.

  • Patent number: 7857659
    Abstract: An electronic device having a stretchable USB receptacle is provided. An extending connecting cable is added to the USB receptacle on the electronic device. In normal condition, the connecting cable is accommodated in a cable reel to make the USB receptacle accommodated in an accommodating recess of the electronic device to keep consistency of the appearance. In using condition, the USB receptacle may be taken out and used in a needed place by drawing out the connecting cable. This overcomes the disadvantage that the conventional adjacent USB receptacles may be interfered with each other, and the scope of use also increases.
