  • Patent number: 11640145
    Abstract: Aiming at insufficient drying seafood on-board caused by hull swings, the present invention involves the establishment of location correction system for processing seafood transportation displaced by wind waves and anti-accumulation drying processing method. This invention employs CFD-DEM method to simulate the state and distribution of the material particles modulated by the deflector angle and wind speed. Finally, the optimized rotation angle of deflector and wind speed are obtained where material particles are equally distributed. Meanwhile, the uniform and fast drying of the marine products in the swinging hull are achieved. This invention shows the great advantages of high efficiency, automation and continuity.

  • Patent number: 10237625
    Abstract: A caching system segments content into multiple, individually cacheable chunks cached by a cache server that caches partial content and serves byte range requests with low latency and fewer duplicate requests to an origin server. The system receives a request from a client for a byte range of a content resource. The system determines the chunks overlapped by the specified byte range and sends a byte range request to the origin server for the overlapped chunks not already stored in a cache. The system stores the bytes of received responses as chunks in the cache and responds to the received request using the chunks stored in the cache. The system serves subsequent requests that overlap with previously requested ranges of bytes from the already retrieved chunks in the cache and makes requests to the origin server only for those chunks that a client has not previously requested.
