  • Patent number: 10527278
    Abstract: Modern steam generators typically include a radiant section and a convection section. Due to differing performance requirements of the radiant and convection sections, the radiant section often has a round cross-section, while the convection section often has a rectangular cross-section. Previous designs utilized a target wall to affect the transition. An angled transition section is disclosed herein that substantially eliminates the target wall and/or the reverse target and provides a corresponding improvement in steam generator efficiency.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20030023664
    Abstract: Caching is a widely used technology on the Web, particularly by search engines which follow hyperlinks and generate indexes and directories of Web pages and their contents. Indeed, some search engines allow users to view pages as they were last retrieved by the search engine. Whether a given page exits in the cache or not, however, is completely arbitrary, and so is the time of its retrieval. The ‘Web page cache-on-demand’ process allows Web users to decide exactly when a given Web page should be retrieved and cached, thereby significantly improving Web users' ability to document Web contents.
