  • Patent number: 10904353
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 9808568
    Abstract: A system for separating and concentrating a component of a whole material is disclosed. The whole material can include a material that has more than one component, such as whole blood that can include at least red blood cells, monocytes, and plasma. The system can include a substantially single container including a separation section and a concentration section wherein a component can be moved from the separation section, after a separation, to the concentration section to be concentrated. The concentrated component can then be withdrawn from the separation and concentration container for a selected procedure.

  • Publication number: 20130313178
    Abstract: A lube oil filter housing including a tubular outer shell, a pair of covers, an inlet, an outlet, a clean fluid chamber and a filter element support is provided. The tubular outer shell and pair of covers define an internal cavity. A clean fluid chamber is interposed fluidly between an inlet and an outlet within the internal cavity. The clean fluid chamber includes at least one connection site for sealingly connecting with a filter element. The clean fluid chamber has at least one removable cover to provide access to a clean fluid portion defined by the clean fluid chamber. A removable filter element support is configured to support an end of the filter element opposite the end of the filter element that cooperates with the connection site. The outlet may include a removable connection tube removable from the tubular outer shell to provide access to the clean fluid portion.

  • Patent number: 8347503
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 8123109
    Abstract: Disclosed is a heat exchanger comprising a boiling passage and cooling passage defined by opposite sides of metal walls. Layers of brazing material between the metal walls and a spacer member bond components of the heat exchanger together. An enhanced boiling layer (EBL) comprising metal particles bonded to each other and to a boiling side of the metal wall provides nucleate boiling pores to improve heat transfer. The EBL has a melting temperature that is higher than the melting temperature of the brazing material. Also disclosed is a process for assembling the heat exchanger.
