  • Patent number: 12286971
    Abstract: A scroll compressor is provided that may include a casing, a main frame, a rotational shaft, an orbiting scroll, a fixed scroll, and an oil supply guide. A second oil supply guide of the oil supply guide may be disposed in at least one of the orbiting scroll or the fixed scroll and extend along a thrust bearing surface between the orbiting scroll and the fixed scroll to provide communication between a first oil supply guide and a compression chamber having a lower pressure than an oil storage space. This may produce a great pressure difference between ends of an oil supply passage including the first oil supply guide and the second oil supply guide, and allow smooth oil supply using differential pressure to the thrust bearing surface between the fixed scroll and the orbiting scroll.

  • Patent number: 11694358
    Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for improving interactions with and between computers in content searching, hosting and/or providing systems supported by or configured with devices, servers and/or platforms. The disclosed systems and methods provide an image processing framework that sub-divides computer vision techniques into three computationally efficient steps: detection, classification and matching. These steps provide an improved image processing framework that can analyze live stream data of a media file, in real-time, in order to identify and track specific digital objects depicted therein. This enables not only image processing detection results, but also the capabilities of augmenting the video stream with additional data related to the detected object.
