20110209646ENERGY AND STEEL RECOVERY SYSTEM - An energy and steel recovery system has a suspension column and a plurality of suspension supports operably disposed therein wherein the supports are spaced from one another along the length of thereof. The suspension column includes a mechanism for receiving tires and other wastes with an energy value onto one of the supports and feeding the tires to an adjacent downwardly disposed support to further gasify the same under low oxygen to preclude combustion. The column is configured to provide for a number of zones including heating, drying, volatizing, and fixed carbon formation which are collectively referred to herein as a “fractionation process.”09-01-2011

20110220352TREATMENT OF PRODUCED HYDROCARBON FLUID CONTAINING WATER - It is described a method for treating a flow of fluid hydrocarbons containing water wherein the flow of fluid hydrocarbons is introduced into a first separator separating at least free water from said flow of fluid hydrocarbons, wherein a remainder of said fluid hydrocarbon flow is introduced into a system converting free/condensed water in the fluid hydrocarbon flow in said system to gas hydrates, and providing at least a first fluid flow and a second fluid flow, wherein said first fluid flow is a liquid phase comprising gas hydrates, said first fluid flow is recycled into the first separator, and wherein the second fluid flow having a content of dry gas and/or condensate/oil. The invention also provides a system for treatment of a flow of fluid hydrocarbon fluid containing water, said system including the following elements listed in the flow direction and connected with each other: connection to a hydrocarbon production source (09-15-2011

20090324335Secondary containment system for an above-ground petroleum storage tank - A secondary containment system for an above-ground petroleum storage tank includes a berm rising above the ground surrounding the tank and spaced apart from the tank for defining a petroleum retention basin about the tank. An impermeable liner covers the ground between the tank and the berm. At least one drain is formed through the liner and into the underlying ground. A hydrocarbon sensor monitors the presence of petroleum in the drain. A control device responds to the presence of petroleum in the drain by closing a containment valve to prevent discharge of petroleum from the basin. An indicator device provides at least one of an audible and visible signal indicating that petroleum is sensed in the drain.12-31-2009

20100095380DETECTION OF UNDESIRED COMPUTER FILES IN DAMAGED ARCHIVES - Systems and methods for an anti-virus detection module that can detect known undesired computer files in damaged archives that may be encrypted, compressed and/or password-protected are provided. According to one embodiment, a damaged archive file is received. And, without decrypting or decompressing the contents, an anti-virus detection module identifies a type and associated structure of the archive file by assuming each possible archive file type in turn and searching the archive file for descriptive information consistent with a current archive file type. Based thereon, descriptive information is obtained from the archive file describing one or more contained files within the archive file. Then, the descriptive information for each contained file is evaluated to determine if any contained files are malicious or undesired computer files. Finally, an attempt is made to prevent contained files determined to be a malicious or undesired computer file from being opened.04-15-2010
20110016530DETECTION OF UNDESIRED COMPUTER FILES IN ARCHIVES - Systems and methods that can detect known undesired computer files in protected archives are provided. According to one embodiment, an archive file in transit across a network as an attachment to an email message destined for a client workstation is scanned, without decrypting or decompressing contents of the archive, by an anti-virus detection module running on a network gateway. A type and associated structure of the archive are identified by examining primary or secondary identification bytes of the archive. Based on the type and structure, descriptive information regarding a contained file is obtained. The descriptive information includes a hash value of the contained file in uncompressed format. If the descriptive information matches a signature of a known undesired computer file, then a clean version of the archive is produced by removing the contained file and regenerating the archive. Finally, the clean version of the archive is delivered.01-20-2011
20110023121DETECTION OF UNDESIRED COMPUTER FILES IN DAMAGED ARCHIVES - Systems and methods for an anti-virus detection module that can detect known undesired computer files in damaged archives that may be encrypted, compressed and/or password-protected are provided. According to one embodiment, a damaged or incomplete RAR, CAB or ZIP archive is received. Without decrypting or decompressing the contents, an anti-virus detection module identifies the archive as a RAR, CAB or ZIP archive by assuming each of multiple possible archive types in turn and searching all of or certain parts of the archive for content consistent with a current archive type. Based on the identified type, for each contained file, descriptive information is extracted from corresponding local file headers and a threat evaluation is performed by comparing the descriptive information to signatures of known malicious or undesired files. If the treat evaluation concludes a particular contained file is a threat, then appropriate defensive actions are taken in relation to the archive.01-27-2011
