20090063488 | Advanced Concurrency Management in Enterprise Service Oriented Architecture Based Integrated Business Processing of Distributed Application Components - A system and process that manages access to a resource in an enterprise service-oriented architecture environment. The system recognizes a master for each resource that has ultimate control over the respective resource. The master grants access to the resource though a lock system. If a system does not relinquish access to the resource, then the master is able to reclaim the lock to ensure the continued availability of the resource to all systems. This system ensures data coherency, while also improving performance by diminishing the amount of time a resource is unnecessarily locked and the time to obtain a lock. | 03-05-2009 |
20140089719 | PLANNING UNAMBIGUOUSLY ACROSS MULTIPLE TIME ZONES - A time slot of regular time length and capacity is defined in time local to a time zone. The slot is defined by a local time start timestamp and a local time end timestamp. In one aspect, upon determining that the local time end timestamp of the slot overlaps with the transition period, the time slot is prolonged beyond the transition period. The prolonged time slot is correspondingly defined by an international standard time start timestamp and an international standard time end timestamp. The prolonged time slot is generated based on the international standard time start timestamp and the international standard time end timestamp. | 03-27-2014 |
20140180461 | REAL-TIME ACTIVITY PLANNING AND MONITORING OF ACTIVITY EXECUTION - A request to calculate workload for a number of time buckets is received. In response to the request, one or more sets of activities with equal execution timeframe are determined. In one aspect, for the one or more sets of activities, net execution duration of activities from the one or more sets of activities is aggregated to determine workloads of the one or more sets of activities. Planned work time consumption of the determined workloads is calculated. In one aspect, calculated planned work time consumption of the workloads is distributed across the number of time buckets. Distributed planned work time consumption of the workloads is aggregated, by the time buckets to calculate the workload for the time buckets. | 06-26-2014 |

20090068088 | PROCESS AND APPARATUS FOR THE COMBUSTION OF SULFUR - A process for a combustion of sulfur with an oxygen-containing gas to produce sulfur dioxide. The process includes introducing the sulfur and the oxygen-containing gas to a furnace. The sulfur is evaporated and subsequently a portion of the sulfur is oxidized to sulfur dioxide under sub-stoichiometric conditions in a first portion of the furnace. The sulfur dioxide formed in the first furnace portion is introduced together with any unoxidized sulfur to a second portion of the furnace which is disposed adjacent to the first furnace portion. The sulfur dioxide and unoxidized sulfur are subjected to post-combustion with the oxygen-containing gas in an inlet of a downstream waste heat boiler. | 03-12-2009 |

The at least one outlet slot has a specified width and is configured to discharge the fluid from the distributor channel to the packing via a guide member. The distributor channel is configured to receive the fluid discharged from the at least one nozzle so as to provide a specified level of the fluid in the distributor channel. The distributor channel forms a ventable chamber above the specified fluid level. The ventable chamber is configured to maintain a pressure corresponding to a pressure in the container in which the packing is disposed. | 09-23-2010 |
20120308473 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ADJUSTING THE CONCENTRATION OF ACIDS OR LYES - A method for adjusting a concentration of an acid or lye includes charging a medium for adjusting the concentration of the acid or lye into a supply conduit of the acid or lye so as to provide a combined stream. The combined stream is supplied through an inlet to a mixing chamber such that the combined stream is deflected upon entering the mixing chamber. The combined stream is mixed in the mixing chamber. The combined stream is discharged through an outlet of the mixing chamber such that the combined stream is again deflected upon being discharged from the mixing chamber. | 12-06-2012 |
20130000869 | PROCESS AND PLANT FOR COOLING SULFURIC ACID - A process for cooling an acid that is withdrawn from an absorption apparatus of a sulfuric acid plant includes pumping the acid to be cooled from an acid pump tank and supplying the acid to a shell space of a heat exchanger. Water is supplied as a heat transport medium to heat transfer elements disposed in the shell space so as to at least partially convert, by heat transfer from the acid, the water to steam. The acid which was cooled in the heat exchanger is supplied back to the absorption apparatus. The water is separated from the steam in a steam drum. The separated water is recirculated to the heat exchanger using a pump. | 01-03-2013 |
