20090037609 | MIDDLE MANAGEMENT OF INPUT/OUTPUT IN SERVER SYSTEMS - A middle manager and methods are provided to enable a plurality of host devices to share one or more input/output devices. The middle manager initializes each shared input/output device and binds one or more functions of each input/output device to a specific host node in the system, such that hosts may only access functions to which they are bound. The middle manager may also utilize a configuration register map to translate values from the actual configuration register into a unique modified value for each of the plurality of host devices such that each host device may access and use the shared input/output device regardless of the firmware or operating system operating thereon. | 02-05-2009 |

20110004688 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PERFORMING A HOST ENUMERATION PROCESS - A method and apparatus for host enumeration process. One embodiment of the method provides a bit to indicate to the host whether enumeration process should start or continue. The bit may be set when the shared resource process has been successfully completed, or the bit may be set if too much time has elapsed since the shared resource process has started, or the bit may be set if too much time has elapsed before the shared resource process is started, or the bit may be set if the shared resource process has not been performed successfully, or the bit may be set if the port is open and it is unnecessary to perform the shared resource process. | 01-06-2011 |
20110016235 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR TRANSFORMING PCIE SR-IOV FUNCTIONS TO APPEAR AS LEGACY FUNCTIONS - A system for transforming a single root input/output virtualization (SR-IOV) function to appear as a legacy function, and a corresponding method includes a switch platform coupled between a legacy host and a SR-IOV-enabled device. The switch platform includes a processor programmed to discern configuration cycles by type and to process the configuration cycles, and one or more local registers that store data related to the configuration cycles. | 01-20-2011 |

20100152499 | CONVERSION OF A MULTIHYDROXYLATED-ALIPHATIC HYDROCARBON OR ESTER THEREOF TO A CHLOROHYDRIN - The present invention relates to a process for converting at least one multihydroxylated-aliphatic hydrocarbon and/or an ester thereof to at least one chlorohydrin and/or an ester thereof, comprising at least one reaction step in which the multihydroxylated-aliphatic hydrocarbon and/or ester thereof is contacted with hydrogen chloride under reaction conditions to produce the chlorohydrin and/or ester thereof, followed by at least one downstream processing step in which the effluents of the reaction step are processed, wherein the downstream processing step is performed in such conditions that the effluents containing the chlorohydrin and/or ester thereof are kept at a temperature of less than 12O° C. The invention allows to minimize the liberation of hydrogen chloride from the products of the hydrochlorination reaction, hence reducing the corrosion of the downstream equipment and reducing M the need to use costly corrosion resistant materials. | 06-17-2010 |
20100331555 | PROCESS AND APPARATUS FOR PRODUCING AND PURIFYING EPICHLOROHYDRINS - A process and apparatus are disclosed for the purification of epichlorohydrin. The process includes distilling and/or fractionating a feed stream containing epichlorohydrin, dichlorohydrin(s), and one or more other substances, subjecting at least a portion of the liquid phase effluent to a dichlorohydrin dehydrochlorination process for converting residual dichlorohydrin(s) in the liquid phase effluent to epichlorohydrin, and recovering purified epichlorohydrin from the vapor phase effluent in which the distillation/fractionation pressure and/or temperature of step (1) is adjusted to retain at least 5 weight-percent epichlorohydrin in the liquid phase effluent. The apparatus for making purified epichlorohydrin includes a dehydrochlorination apparatus, a first liquid-vapor contacting apparatus, and a second liquid-vapor contacting apparatus connected to the dehydrochlorination apparatus for recycling a distillate to the dehydrochlorination apparatus. Advantages include more efficient recovery of epichlorohydrins and reduced capital investment in recovery equipment. | 12-30-2010 |
