  • Publication number: 20160247081
    Abstract: One embodiment is directed towards a method for determining a worst-case execution time (WCET) with a desired probability of exceedance. The method includes estimating distribution function parameters for an M set of execution times for each of a Gumbel, Fréchet, and Weibull extreme value theory (EVT) distribution functions. The method can determine whether the M set of execution times fits any of the EVT distribution functions. For each of the EVT distribution functions that fits the M set of execution times, a minimum number of execution times can be calculated. For each of the EVT distribution functions that fits the M set of execution times and in which the M set of execution times has at least as many execution times as the minimum number of execution times, a WCET can be calculated for the M set of execution times to the desired probability of exceedance.

  • Patent number: 8894736
    Abstract: A gas distributor for a granular moving-bed filter comprises a distribution module, arranged inside a granular moving-bed filter. The distribution module comprises at least one flow-distributing curtain to be used for allowing a turbulent gas flow with dust mixed therein to flow therethrough, resulting that before the turbulent gas flow enters the granular moving-bed filter, the turbulent gas flow is transformed into a more uniformly distributed gas flow and the dust contained therein are partially filtered out.

  • Patent number: 7132088
    Abstract: A granular moving-bed apparatus is introduced to have an inlet louvered wall, an outlet louvered wall opposing to the inlet louvered wall, a granular path formed in between, a plurality of serial roof-shaped flow-corrective elements located along the granular path, and a predetermined type of granular materials flowing inside the granular path. The inlet louvered wall and the outlet louvered wall are particularly constructed to form serial hopper-shaped structures that define the granular path. The roof-shaped flow-corrective element is systematically displaced with respect to the hopper-shaped structure by specific criteria so that problems of corrosions, plaques and stagnant zones formed to the louvered walls of the apparatus can be avoided.
