  • Publication number: 20230415111
    Abstract: A disturbance device has two jet mixers, which are oppositely disposed in the horizontal direction; a mixing chamber, which is connected between the two jet mixers; and mixing pipes, which are connected below the mixing chamber. The mixing pipes comprise: a central pipe, which is a vertical straight pipe; multiple helical pipes, which are wound in multiple layers and provided outside the central pipe, the diameters of the multiple helical pipes gradually increasing from the inner to outer layers, and multiple flow deflector assemblies being provided at intervals in each helical pipe; and an outer sleeve, which is a straight pipe, the outer sleeve being sleeved outside the outermost helical pipe. A continuous gas separation system combines a hydrate-based process and a reverse osmosis process, using the disturbance device, enables continuous gas separation.

  • Patent number: 11836220
    Abstract: Systems, computer-implemented methods, and computer program products to facilitate updating, such as averaging and/or training, of one or more statistical sets are provided. According to an embodiment, a system can comprise a memory that stores computer executable components and a processor that executes the computer executable components stored in the memory. The computer executable components can include a computing component that averages a statistical set, provided by the system, with an additional statistical set, that is compatible with the statistical set, to compute an averaged statistical set, where the additional statistical set is obtained from a selected additional system of a plurality of additional systems. The computer executable components also can include a selecting component that selects the selected additional system according to a randomization pattern.

  • Publication number: 20220129746
    Abstract: Techniques are provided for decentralized parallel min/max optimizations. In one embodiment, the techniques involve generating gradients based on a first set of weights associated with a first node of a neural network, exchanging the first set of weights with a second set of weights associated with a second node, generating an average weight based on the first set of weights and the second set of weights, and updating the first set of weights and the second set of weights via a decentralized parallel optimistic stochastic gradient (DPOSG) algorithm based on the gradients and the average weight.
