    摘要: A method of gas liquefaction wherein the refrigeration to cool and liquefy an essentially water-free feed gas is provided by a single recirculating mixed refrigerant cycle in which refrigeration is provided by the vaporization of two mixed refrigerant streams of different compositions at a lower and higher pressure levels respectively. A lower pressure level vaporizing refrigerant cools the feed gas stream in a first cooling zone and a higher pressure level vaporizing refrigerant further cools and condenses the cooled gas in a second cooling zone to provide the final liquid product. The lower pressure level vaporizing refrigerant is provided by one or more liquids obtained by ambient cooling of compressed mixed refrigerant vapor. The vaporized lower pressure level refrigerant can be returned to the refrigerant compressor at a temperature below ambient, without further warming, and this cool refrigerant is compressed and combined with the vaporized higher pressure level refrigerant, which is returned at about ambient temperature.

    摘要: Refrigeration process for gas liquefaction which utilizes one or more vaporizing refrigerant cycles to provide refrigeration below about −40° C. and a gas expander cycle to provide refrigeration below about −100° C. Each of these two types of refrigerant systems is utilized in an optimum temperature range which maximizes the efficiency of the particular system. A significant fraction of the total refrigeration power required to liquefy the feed gas (typically more than 5% and often more than 10% of the total) can be consumed by the vaporizing refrigerant cycles. The invention can be implemented in the design of a new liquefaction plant or can be utilized as a retrofit or expansion of an existing plant by adding gas expander refrigeration circuit to the existing plant refrigeration system.

    摘要: A process for gas liquefaction, particularly nitrogen liquefaction, which combines the use of a nitrogen autorefrigeration cooling cycle with one or more closed-loop refrigeration cycles using two or more refrigerant components. The closed-loop refrigeration cycle or cycles provide refrigeration in a temperature range having a lowest temperature between about −125° F. and about −250° F. A nitrogen expander cycle provides additional refrigeration, a portion of which is provided at temperatures below the lowest temperature of the closed-loop or recirculating refrigeration cycle or cycles. The lowest temperature of the nitrogen expander cycle refrigeration range is between about −220° F. and about −320° F. The combined use of the two different refrigerant systems allows each system to operate most efficiently in the optimum temperature range, thereby reducing the power consumption required for liquefaction.

    摘要: Method of producing liquefied natural gas (LNG) whereby refrigeration for cooling and liquefaction is provided by a mixed refrigerant system precooled by another refrigeration system. At least one liquid stream is derived from the partial condensation and separation of the mixed refrigerant at a temperature higher than the lowest temperature provided by the precooling system when the mixed refrigerant is condensed at a final highest pressure. When the mixed refrigerant is condensed at a pressure lower than the final highest pressure, condensation is effected at a temperatures equal or higher than the lowest temperature provided by the precooling system. The mixed refrigerant liquid is used to provide refrigeration at a temperature lower than that provided by the precooling system.

    摘要: A tree structure has a node associated with each category of a hierarchy of item categories. Child nodes of the tree are associated with sub-categories of the categories associated with parent nodes. Training data including received queries and indicators of a selected item category for each received query is combined with the tree structure by associating each query with the node corresponding to the selected category of the query. When a query is received, a classifier is applied to the nodes to generate a probability that the query is intended to match an item of the category associated with the node. The classifier is applied until the probability is below a threshold. One or more categories associated with the nodes that are closest to the intent of the received query are selected and indicators of items of those categories that match the received query are output.

    摘要: Methods, computer-readable storage media, and systems are provided to facilitate visually distinguishing common attributes of users an electronic communication network or messaging service. In particular, user profile attributes are compared between a first and second user, and similar attributes are visually highlighted by assigning, for example, a distinct font, font size, color, font effect, and/or other visual effect to the user's screen name to designate which attributes are similar. In addition, or alternatively, when the first user views a user profile of the second user, common user attributes are visually highlighted. In one embodiment, the font, font size, color, and/or font effect assigned to the highlighted attribute indicates a degree of similarity of the attribute. Such implementations may allow users to more easily recognize and interact with others that have similar interests and attributes.

    摘要: An implementation wherein RFID data is shared across independent organizations has been addressed. RFID data is usually spread across different parties, e.g. enterprises in a supply chain and thus, efficient query processing across all parties is required. Traceability is emerging as one of the key applications of RFID technology. A generic data model is introduced for querying RFID data across a network of independently operated data sources. The model can be used to facilitate traceability query processing and give a set of representative traceability queries. A newly designed process-and-forward approach is implemented for executing traceability queries.
