  • Publication number: 20220409999
    Abstract: Before a network jitter occurs, a server receives operation instructions from an electronic device, generates a plurality of first rendering instruction streams based on the operation instructions, sends the plurality of first rendering instruction streams to the electronic device, and generates and stores one or more first rendering contexts for one or more first rendering instruction streams in the plurality of first rendering instruction streams. When the network jitter occurs, the server generates a second rendering instruction stream based on received operation instructions, and generates and stores a second rendering context based on the second rendering instruction stream. After the recovery from the network jitter, the server sends a set of rendering context differences to the electronic device. In this way, network transmission traffic after the recovery from the network jitter is reduced, transmission and processing delays are also reduced, and user experience is improved.

  • Patent number: 11280323
    Abstract: A geothermal energy system utilizes supercritical CO2 turbine and a radial outflow reaction turbine, a Catherine Wheel having wheel arms, that spins around an axle to produce power. A fin portion extends from the radial portion at an offset angle, to an exhaust end. A first working fluid, such as supercritical carbon dioxide flows through an arm conduit within the wheel arm and a second working fluid, such as a hydrocarbon mixes with the first working fluid and both flow through a turbine. The turbine may be configured within the wheel arm conduit or mounted prior to the Catherine Wheel or any other radial outflow reaction turbine, or variable phase turbines available, and it turns as the combined working fluids expand and vaporize. The second working fluid may be condensed and recirculated while the first working fluid is expelled back into a geothermal reservoir.
