20100049486Systems and Methods for Simulating Plant Operations - Embodiments of methods and systems of a system for simulating a plant are provided. According to one exemplary embodiment of the invention, there is disclosed a system for simulating a plant. The system may include a controller including plant operation logic for executing control commands to the plant. The system may further include a simulator in communication with the controller, where the simulator may consist of high bandwidth hardware having at least one high bandwidth model of at least a first plant behavior. The simulator may also consist of at least one processor with at least one low bandwidth model of at least a second plant behavior.02-25-2010

20080243674System for automated trading of informational items and having integrated ask-and -post features - A hybrid system that supports automated trading of informational items between sellers of such items and buyers who bid on the items includes means for allowing bidders to subscribe to ask-and-post services. A buyer/bidder who subscribes to such services is given the opportunity to be presented with more detailed information about an informational item he or she has bid upon before being obligated to pay for the informational item. If a first asked bidder rejects the item after having been given the opportunity for a sneak peek (or if that first bidder times-out due to no response), then the opportunity is automatically presented to a next subscribing buyer/bidder listed on a dynamically generated list (e.g., a stochastic ordered list). In one class of embodiments, the informational items include lead information for making hot contact with a prospective consumer of predefined products and/or services.10-02-2008
