20100152900Optimizing refinery hydrogen gas supply, distribution and consumption in real time - The present invention is directed to innovative and unique mathematical models that capture key constraints, process kinetics and control structures such that a wide envelope of hydrogen gas and associated light gas supply, distribution and use can be modeled. The present invention is also directed to a real time optimization (RTO) computer application for effective optimization of hydrogen and associated light gas supply and distribution and, thereby, consumption, in a refinery that employs said models and solves an objective function, as well as to a method and refinery using the same. The objective function can be an economic objective function such as the minimization of cost for hydrogen supply and distribution or the maximization of profit based on a valuation of products made by hydrogen consumers in the hydrogen system minus the corresponding cost of the hydrogen supply and distribution.06-17-2010
20110098862Multi-stage processes and control thereof - A method is provided for controlling a multi-stage process. The process comprises multiple first stage processes for producing an intermediate product from a feed, and multiple further stage processes for producing an end-product from the intermediate products. The first stage processes comprise multiple intermediate processes and the further stage processes comprise multiple end processes for producing the end product. An intermediate controller controls the first stage processes in response to one or more product properties of the end product EP and a further controller FC controls the further stage processes in response to the product properties of the intermediate product. The multi-stage process further comprises the step of assigning process values to each of the end processes and the intermediate processes. The intermediate controller IC controls operation of the intermediate processes to optimize the overall process value for producing the end product. The end controller FC responds to the actions of intermediate controller IC to optimize the overall process value.04-28-2011

20090100004System And Methodology For Automatic Tuning Of Database Query Optimizer - System and methodology for automatic tuning of database query optimizer is described. In one embodiment, in a database system having an optimizer for selecting a query plan for executing a database query, a method of the present invention is described for automatically tuning query performance to prevent query performance regression that may occur during upgrade of the database system from a prior version to a new version, the method comprises steps of: in response to receiving a given database query for execution, specifying a query plan generated by the prior version's optimizer as a baseline best plan for executing the given database query; generating at least one new query plan using the new version's optimizer; learning performance for each new query plan generated by recording corresponding query execution metrics; if a given new query plan is observed to have better performance than the best plan previously specified, specifying that given new query plan to be the best plan for executing the given database query; if a given new query plan is observed to have worse performance than the best plan previously specified, specifying that given new query plan to be a bad plan to be avoided in the future; and automatically tuning future execution of the given database query by using the query plan that the system learned was the best plan.04-16-2009

20090295430METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR SIMULTANEOUS PROCESSING OF MULTIPLE FUNCTIONS - A methodology for describing an input-output behavior of a multi-level logic gate to process simultaneously a multiplicity of independent Boolean logic functions, with each Boolean function processing signals carried on an individual, separate channel. An embodiment may simultaneously process the same data with the same function or with different functions, multiple data with the same function, or multiple data with different functions. In addition, multi-level logic signals (having more than two levels) may be processed, so that a higher communication bandwidth may be obtained without necessarily increasing the number of traces (wires). Other embodiments are described and claimed.12-03-2009
