20100224454 | Stepless pressure-varying shock absorber - A shock absorber includes a partitioning board fixed in a chamber of a cylinder to separate the chamber into first and second compartments receiving a damping fluid. The partitioning board includes a first through-hole in communication with the first and second compartments. A buffering disc is mounted in the chamber and forms a bottom end of the second compartment. A rod is slidably received in the chamber and slideably extends through the first through-hole. A damping valve is securely mounted around the rod and is slideably received in the first compartment. The rod has downwardly decreasing cross sections. A gap is formed between an inner periphery of the first through-hole and an outer periphery of the rod. When the rod moves downward, an area of the gap decreases gradually to gradually increase resistance to the damping fluid flowing from the first compartment into the second compartment via the first through-hole. | 09-09-2010 |

20150269180 | OZIP COMPRESSION AND DECOMPRESSION - A method, apparatus, and system for OZIP, a data compression and decompression codec, is provided. OZIP utilizes a fixed size static dictionary, which may be generated from a random sampling of input data to be compressed. Compression by direct token encoding to the static dictionary streamlines the encoding and avoids expensive conditional branching, facilitating hardware implementation and high parallelism. By bounding token definition sizes and static dictionary sizes to hardware architecture constraints such as word size or processor cache size, hardware implementation can be made fast and cost effective. For example, decompression may be accelerated by using SIMD instruction processor extensions. A highly granular block mapping in optional stored metadata allows compressed data to be accessed quickly at random, bypassing the processing overhead of dynamic dictionaries. Thus, OZIP can support low latency random data access for highly random workloads, such as for OLTP systems. | 09-24-2015 |
