Patent number: 10823198Abstract: A diffuser for a centrifugal compressor and a centrifugal compressor having the same. The diffuser (100) comprises a drive component (110), a transmission assembly (120), an adjustment assembly (130), a spool valve assembly (140) and a rear wall (150); wherein the transmission assembly is used for transmitting power produced by the drive component to the adjustment assembly, the adjustment assembly is capable of circumferentially reciprocating with respect to the rear wall and driving the spool valve assembly to reciprocate axially; and wherein a rolling element (160) is provided between the adjustment assembly and the rear wall. Intervention of a mechanism for adjusting a flow passage width is better achieved by such an arrangement in combination with an existing configuration of the diffuser; and a low-friction fit between the adjustment assembly and the rear wall is achieved by the rolling element.Type: GrantFiled: October 23, 2017Date of Patent: November 3, 2020Assignee: CARRIER CORPORATIONInventors: Vishnu M.

Patent number: 8086948Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for the generation of a Sitemap XML file. The method comprises retrieving input parameter values and determining at least one target entity (an online retail store) within a target environment (a retailer) for which a search engine sitemap definition page will be generated and rendering the sitemap definition page for the determined target entity. The rendered content being further evaluated and ordered according to predetermined priority algorithms. The method further comprises outputting the rendered sitemap definition page, where if the output sitemap definition page exceeds a predetermined size, the output sitemap definition page is divided into smaller segments and an index file is generated and associated with the segmented output sitemap definition page files. Caching functionality (to enhance operational performance) and access control functionality (for controlling the rendering of sitemaps) is further provided within aspects of the present invention.Type: GrantFiled: April 19, 2007Date of Patent: December 27, 2011Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: John A.
