Inventor: LU TIAN
IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 2012-03-05
Abstract: The present invention is a system, method and computer program for generating an optimal decision based on general, incomplete decision-making input, such as incomplete preferences. Input may be provided from a variety of entities (including human and computer entities). The present invention may be operable to utilize such input to make a set of decisions and an optimal decision may be efficiently generated, even if the input represents incomplete voter preferences. The present invention may also undertake a decision-making process that involves a facility to compute minimax regret and to elicit preferences from a voter. Preferences may be elicited by one or more queries posed to a voter about their pairwise preferences in such a way so as to maximally reduce minimax regret. The type of queries and order of queries posed may be determined in accordance with the most efficient decision-making process to arrive efficiently at the optimal decision. In this manner the present invention may guide the decision-making process to support and elicit efficient decision-making.

Abstract: The engine reactive oxygen species(ROS) generator pertains generally piston and turbine engine area to decrease fuel consumption and emission. From FIG.1, the generator is mainly composed of ultraviolet(UV) lights sources(4), ultraviolet light controller(11), ultraviolet light radiation chamber(3) with internal ultraviolet light reflection walls(6). Air will pass through the radiation chamber to get radiated by vacuum ultraviolet light and middle wavelength light. Reactive oxygen species are created in the chamber. The vacuum ultraviolet light at around 185nm wavelength is used generate the ROS. The middle wavelength light at around 254nm wavelength is used to prevent ROS to combine with oxygen to form ozone, even decompose the ozone into ROS if ozone exists. The ROS are more reactive than oxygen and ozone. They can be combusted with fuel quicker and more completely than ozone and oxygen. So fuel combustion efficiency is increased and air emission is reduced.

Abstract: A down hole pressure isolation tool is placed in a pipe string and includes a pair of pressure discs having one side that is highly resistant to applied pressure and one side that ruptures when much lower pressures are applied to it. The weak sides of the pressure discs face each other. In some embodiments, an upper disc is mounted for movement and restrained by a shearable connection. Upon the application of pressure to the tool, the connection shears allowing the upper disc to move into and collide with the lower disc thereby fracturing both discs and allowing pressure communication across the tool. In another embodiment, spurs carried by a sleeve fracture an upper disc in response to pressure delivered to an upper end of the tool.
