20090299939 | Distributed Rule Processing for Ubiquitous Computing Environments - Methods and apparatus are provided for distributed rule processing in a sense and respond system. A method for identifying a candidate set of rules is disclosed, comprising the steps of: identifying one or more rules that receive information from one or more sensors to create a first candidate set of rules; evaluating each of the identified rules to identify an initial candidate set of rules, wherein a rule is added to the initial candidate set if a selected device is associated with sensors that are enabled to produce information for the rule being evaluated, if the selected device is enabled to locally provide input information required by the rule being evaluated, and if the rule being evaluated is associated with a group of devices and there are no correlation operators that consume events generated from other devices in the group of devices; and evaluating each rule in the initial candidate set to identify a final candidate set of rules, wherein any rule that receives information from the rule being evaluated is added to the initial candidate set to create the final candidate set if the selected device is enabled to locally satisfy input information required by the rule that receives information and if the rule that receives information is associated with a group of devices and there are no correlation operators that consume events generated from other devices in the group of devices. | 12-03-2009 |
20110130474 | GTL-FPSO SYSTEM FOR CONVERSION OF ASSOCIATED GAS IN OIL FIELDS AND STRANDED GAS IN STRANDED GAS FIELDS, AND PROCESS FOR PRODUCTION OF SYNTHETIC FUEL USING THE SAME - Disclosed are a gas to liquids (GTL)-floating production, storage and offloading (FPSO) system that can be used in offshore oil fields or stranded gas fields and a method for producing synthetic fuel using the same. More particularly, the disclosure relates to a GTL-FPSO system capable of producing liquid synthetic fuel from gas extracted from stranded gas fields or associated gas extracted from oil fields, including a reforming reactor and a liquid hydrocarbon producer, and a method for producing the same. | 06-02-2011 |
20110274596 | MICRO-MACRO CHANNEL REACTOR - Disclosed is a micro-macro channel reactor comprising: a top end plate and a bottom end plate assembled on the outskirts of the micro-macro channel reactor; a heat exchanging plate by which a heat exchanging material passes through passages thereof so that heat is transferred between the heat exchanging material and such a fluid as a reactant, a product, or a mixture thereof that passes through a catalyst plate; a catalyst plate stacked and assembled together with the heat exchanging plate and including a catalyst section containing a reaction catalyst necessary to perform a catalytic reaction of the reactant while the reactant is passing through the catalyst section; and a support plate stacked and assembled together with the catalyst plate and configured to provide passages that allows the reactant to pass through the catalyst section of the catalyst plate. | 11-10-2011 |
