Patent number: 10904353Abstract: A content serving data processing system is configured for trending topic cache eviction management. The system includes a computing system communicatively coupled to different sources of content objects over a computer communications network. The system also includes a cache storing different cached content objects retrieved from the different content sources. The system yet further includes a cache eviction module. The module includes program code enabled to manage cache eviction of the content objects in the cache by marking selected ones of the content objects as invalid in accordance with a specified cache eviction strategy, detect a trending topic amongst the retrieved content objects, and override the marking of one of the selected ones of the content objects as invalid and keeping the one of the selected ones of the content objects in the cache when the one of the selected ones of the content objects relates to the trending topic.Type: GrantFiled: June 17, 2019Date of Patent: January 26, 2021Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Al Chakra, Patrick S. O'Donnell, Kevin L. Ortega

Patent number: 8347503Abstract: Methods for manufacturing brazed aluminum heat exchangers involved in boiling and condensing, including a high performance nucleate boiling surface bonded with the walls of fin-less boiling passages. One method includes providing a first heat exchanger core subassembly including a first joinable end, at least one cooling and one boiling passage, and a first partial finless passage arranged at the joinable end. A second heat exchanger core subassembly is provided similar to the first including a second joinable end. The first and second heat exchanger core subassemblies are brazed. The first joinable end is affixed, preferably by welding, to the second joinable end and the first partial finless passage is affixed to a second partial finless passage to form a coupled finless passage, and thereby a heat exchanger core.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2008Date of Patent: January 8, 2013Assignee: UOP LLCInventors: Patrick S.
