Abstract: An air curtain device for a dishwasher and a dishwasher including the same. The air curtain device includes an air curtain assembly and a fan. The air curtain assembly has an air inlet and an air outlet. An air path is formed in the air curtain assembly for guiding air flow or wind from the air inlet to the air outlet. The fan is configured to supply the wind into the air curtain assembly through the air inlet. The air curtain assembly includes a first shell and a second shell. A chamber is formed on the first shell and/or on the second shell. The air curtain assembly has an installation portion for installing the fan. The fan is detachably installed in the air curtain assembly via a bracket. The air curtain device is installed in the space between an upper wall of the inner container and an upper wall of a housing of the dishwasher.

Abstract: A device for measuring a thermal conductivity of high-temperature and high-pressure liquid is provided and includes a probe and a liquid flow channel, the probe radially penetrates through the liquid flow channel, both ends of the probe extend out of the liquid flow channel and are connected to a control system via wires; the control system includes a power supply, a voltmeter, an ammeter, a thermocouple and a flowmeter, which are used for energizing the probe, measuring voltage at both ends of the probe, measuring current flowing through the probe, measuring temperature of and a flow velocity of the liquid, respectively. A measuring method is further provided. The device and the method for measuring the thermal conductivity of high-temperature and high-pressure liquid utilize a principle of heat balance and characteristics of liquid sweeping across a circular tube for measurement when the liquid enters a fully developed section.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed toward systems and methods for dynamically providing digital content to client devices at different insertion points of a digital video based on predicted total value of inserting the digital content and predicted engagement loss of inserting the digital content. For example, system and methods described herein determine that an insertion point is approaching in an actively playing digital video. In response, systems and methods identify digital content for insertion at the insertion point. In one or more embodiments, the described systems and methods insert the identified digital content by comparing the predicted total value of inserting the digital content at the insertion point of the digital video and a predicted engagement loss associated with inserting the digital content at the insertion point of the digital video.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for providing a k-nearest neighbor for location based services are provided. A method can include querying a database to detect a plurality of interest points within a predetermined distance of the user device using a kNN algorithm, organizing the interest points within a Voronoi tree, and continuously return a position specific result of relevant interest points.

Abstract: Methods for progressive continuous range query (PCRQ) are provided. A method can include using branch-and-bound to index interest points with a tree-index and generating a nearest enter split-point for a root node in the tree-index and adding to min-heap. Next, whether min-heap has more elements and whether a next split-point in min-heap is closer than a destination can be determined. Whether a query point has reached a split-point can be investigated followed by retrieving an entry that has generated the split-point. The split-point can be then be removed from min-heap.

Abstract: An air handling system comprising a base (5) and one or more air handling devices (2, 3, 4) disposed on the base (5), wherein each of the air handling devices (2, 3, 4) comprises an air inlet (431), an air outlet (432), and a power-supply structure; and the base (5) comprises an air inlet, an air outlet, an external power source, and a power-supply output structure for powering the adjacent air handling device (4).
