20080244585 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR USING FAILURE CASTING TO MANAGE FAILURES IN COMPUTER SYSTEMS - A system and method for using failure casting to manage failures in computer system. In accordance with an embodiment, the system uses a failure casting hierarchy to cast failures of one type into failures of another type. In doing this, the system allows incidents, problems, or failures to be cast into a (typically smaller) set of failures, which the system knows how to handle. In accordance with a particular embodiment, failures can be cast into a category that is considered reboot-curable. If a failure is reboot-curable then rebooting the system will likely cure the problem. Examples include hardware failures, and reboot-specific methods that can be applied to disk failures and to failures within clusters of databases. The system can even be used to handle failures that were hitherto unforeseen—failures can be cast into known failures based on the failure symptoms, rather than any underlying cause. | 10-02-2008 |

20110315603 | SPENT CATALYST RISER DISTRIBUTOR - The present invention relates to an improved design for use in fluid cracking processes, preferably used in either a fluid catalytic cracking (“FCC”) process or a fluid coking process. In particular, the present invention relates to an apparatus and process for improving the separation and distributing spent catalyst and gases in a spent catalyst riser associated with a fluid cracking process, and most preferably for use in a spent catalyst riser associated with an FCC regenerator vessel. A novel catalyst distributor design and associated processes are presented herein which significantly improve combustion in the dense-phase fluidized catalyst bed of a regenerator and results in improved regenerator dense bed combustion and lower migration of oxygen into the regenerator overhead region. As a result, afterburn is significantly reduced in the regenerator and higher catalyst bed temperatures are achieved with significantly more uniform bed temperatures due to the improved combustion characteristics in the dense-phase fluidized catalyst bed. | 12-29-2011 |
20120152363 | PIPING INTERNALS TO CONTROL GAS-LIQUID FLOW SPLIT - Structures and methods are provided for improving the distribution of fluids between exit flows from a split junction, such as a tee-junction. The improved distribution of fluids can result in a more equal distribution of both gases and liquids between the exits of the junction. The improvement can be provided by using a baffle structure, such as an annular baffle structure, upstream from the desired junction. The baffle structures can improve the distribution of fluids in the exit flows in various manners, such as by reducing the amount of vorticity or “swirl” in the input flow to the junction or by reducing the separation of gases from liquids within a flow. | 06-21-2012 |
20130186168 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ENHANCING CORROSION RATE DETERMINATION IN PROCESS EQUIPMENT USING A TELESCOPING/ROTATING SENSOR - A system and method for optimizing the response of a metal loss sensor which is configured in a way that its insertion depth and orientation in the process fluid are adjustable. These adjustments affect local turbulence and thereby enable achieving a desired corrosion rate at the metal loss sensor. Corrosion rate comparison between the metal loss sensor and pressure containment boundary can be measured directly or indirectly by computing wall shear stresses at the sensor and the pressure containment boundary. | 07-25-2013 |
20130191038 | METHOD FOR QUANTIFYING CORROSION AT A PRESSURE CONTAINING BOUNDARY - A method for determining the amount and rate of corrosion which has occurred on the surface of a process unit by measuring corrosion with a corrosion sensor and measuring at least one parameter inside the process unit. Corrosion on the internal surfaces of a process unit can then be determined. | 07-25-2013 |

20080206148 | Method for radiographic targeting of malignant tumors and apparatus for focusing rays - A method and apparatus for immunoimaging and destruction of malignant tumors using immunoimaging agents comprising nanoclusters incorporating monoclonal antibodies that selectively bind to the cell membrane of tumor cells, and conjugated payloads comprising an encapsulated near-infrared (NIR) fluorescing crystal. The encapsulated fluorescing crystal compound provides excellent non-radiometric imaging of the tumor, and the non-antigenic metal coating encapsulating the fluorescing crystal particles provides a non-destructive necrotic killing of the tumor cells by low-level radiometric amplification and heating of the tumor cell membrane. Thus the very same nanoclusters used during imaging also serve to kill the tumor cells by necrosis, damaging the cell membrane by overheating as a result of secondary irradiation (not by harmful radiometric-induced apoptosis). Also included is a radiometric treatment platform for that better focuses the marked tumor by articulating the patient (180 degrees along one axis, 90 degrees along another), thereby minimizing incident radiation and destroying the tumor without exposing healthy tissue. | 08-28-2008 |

20120210398 | Enhanced Backup and Retention Management - An enhanced backup and retention management module associated with an entity may track access and changes made to configuration files that specify backup and/or retention policies for servers located on a network. The management module may also prevent unauthorized users from accessing or making changes to the configuration files. Additional features of the system may include a reporting capability that alerts appropriate personnel of who accessed and/or attempted to modify a backup/retention policy for a server, the name of the server whose policy may have been affected, and specific details of the file modifications that were made/attempted. | 08-16-2012 |
20120215743 | Backup And Retention Monitoring - A system and method of monitoring retention of backups made of various systems, servers, files, etc. is provided. The system and method may include receiving retention data at a retention monitoring system. The retention data may include an actual retention period for one or more systems, servers, files, etc. and may further include determining whether the actual retention period matches a predefined retention period. If so, the data may be formatted, compiled, and displayed. If the actual retention period does not match the predefined retention period, the retention data may be identified as non-standard and then may be formatted, compiled, and/or displayed. Additional aspects of the system and method may include receiving an actual amount of storage capacity used by the backups of the systems, servers, files, etc. If the actual amount of storage capacity does not match an allotted amount of capacity, the data may be identified as non-standard. | 08-23-2012 |
20120215904 | Backup System Monitor - A system and method of monitoring and displaying a status of a backup at one or more locations is presented. The system and method may include identifying a status of a backup at a first location, identifying a status of a backup at a second location and displaying the statuses at a backup system monitor. In some examples, the statuses may be displayed simultaneously. In still other examples, the received status of a backup system may be flagged if it is within a predetermined threshold. The received statuses may be displayed graphically in order to aid in identifying issues and prioritizing allocation of resources. | 08-23-2012 |

20150232580 | PROCESSES AND APPARATUS FOR REMOVAL OF FERMENTATION INHIBITORS FROM BIOMASS HYDROLYSATES - The disclosure provides a process for separating fermentation inhibitors from a biomass-derived hydrolysate, comprising: introducing a biomass-derived liquid hydrolysate stream to a stripping column; introducing a steam-rich vapor stream to the stripping column to strip fermentation inhibitors (such as acetic acid) from the liquid hydrolysate stream; recovering a stripped liquid stream and a stripper vapor output stream; compressing the stripper vapor output stream; introducing the compressed vapor stream, and a water-rich liquid stream, to an evaporator; recovering, from the evaporator, an evaporated liquid stream and an evaporator output vapor stream; and recycling the evaporator output vapor stream to the stripping column as the steam-rich vapor stream. Other variations utilize a rectification column to recover a rectified liquid stream and a rectification column vapor stream, and recycle the rectification column vapor stream to the stripping column as the steam-rich vapor stream. | 08-20-2015 |
