Abstract: A tower packer for packing cement slurry of a jacket is disposed between a steel pile and an inner sleeve. It includes a supporting ring, sealing rings and a limiting ring. The supporting ring and the limiting ring are respectively installed on an outer surface of the inner sleeve in the steel pile. A plurality of sealing rings stacked from top to bottom along the sleeving direction of the inner sleeve are arranged between the supporting ring and the limiting ring. Each sealing ring is hermetically and slidably connected along a radial direction. The sealing ring at the bottom is always supported by the supporting ring. The sealing ring at the top abuts a lower surface of the limiting ring. When the inner sleeve is sleeved into the steel pile, the outer surface of the sealing ring with maximum outer diameter hermetically abuts the inner surface of the steel pile.

Abstract: Various embodiments provide ranking methods and systems. The ranking method can be implemented by a computer system. In an exemplary method, real-time data can be obtained. A total user number of the real-time data can be counted. A distribution pattern of user number in one or more data value intervals can be obtained from the real-time data. The total user number and the distribution pattern can then be stored as intermediate data. A ranking query request of a user and an actual data value of the user can be received. A ranking of the user can be calculated according to the actual data value of the user and the intermediate data.
