Patent number: 11924255Abstract: This application discloses data transmission that includes: dividing to-be-transmitted content into a plurality of data units at a session layer; transmitting the data units to the target terminal device by using a first transmission channel as a responsible channel of the to-be-transmitted content; distributing, by the session layer in a case that the session layer switches the responsible channel of the to-be-transmitted content from the first transmission channel to a second transmission channel with a different transmission protocol, the data units to the second transmission channel; and transmitting the data units distributed by the session layer to the target terminal device through the second transmission channel. In data transmission in this application, the session layer controls switching of the channels and distribution of the data units, so that the transmission sequence is free from constraints of protocols and the degree of freedom in data transmission is increased.Type: GrantFiled: April 27, 2023Date of Patent: March 5, 2024Assignee: Tencent Technology (Shenzhen) Company LimitedInventors: Rui Han, Honghao Liu, Jianjun Xiao, Fucai Zhang, Nian Wen

Patent number: 9568106Abstract: The present invention discloses a mating ring, a primary ring, and associated mechanical seal having superior heat transfer and wear characteristics. According to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, one or more dimples are formed onto the cylindrical outer surface of a mating ring sidewall and/or a primary ring sidewall. A stationary mating ring for a mechanical seal assembly is disclosed. Such a mating ring comprises an annular body having a central axis and a sealing face, wherein a plurality of dimples are formed into the outer circumferential surface of the annular body such that the exposed circumferential surface area of the annular body is increased. The texture added to the sidewall of the mating ring yields superior heat transfer and wear characteristics.Type: GrantFiled: May 6, 2011Date of Patent: February 14, 2017Assignee: Board of Supervisors of Louisiana State University and Agricultural and Mechanical CollegeInventors: Michael M. Khonsari, Nian Xiao

Patent number: 8296042Abstract: Various systems and methods are described for operating an engine in a vehicle in response to an ambient humidity generated from an exhaust gas sensor. One example method comprises, during engine non-fueling conditions, where at least one intake valve and at least one exhaust valve of the engine are operating, generating an ambient humidity from the exhaust gas sensor and, under selected engine combusting conditions, adjusting an engine operating parameter based on the ambient humidity.Type: GrantFiled: March 23, 2009Date of Patent: October 23, 2012Assignee: Ford Global Technologies, LLCInventors: Nian Xiao, Yi Ding
