摘要:
In some embodiments, apparatus for allowing one-way flow of fluid into or out of a tubular member includes a base pipe having at least one port formed therein. At least one valve is engaged with the base pipe, associated with at least one port and capable, at least temporarily, of allowing fluid flow in one direction and disallowing fluid flow in the opposite direction through the associated port(s).
摘要:
A method for regenerating a filtering device is disclosed. The method may include creating a flow of exhaust with a power source and providing air to a combustion device configured to heat the flow of exhaust. The method may also include determining if a parameter is above a threshold. The parameter may be indicative of an amount of air provided to the combustion device. The method may further include modifying an operating condition of the power source if the parameter is above the threshold, where modifying the operating condition affects the parameter.

In some embodiments a method of shifting a downhole-located device between positions with an actuator includes inserting the actuator into the well, engaging the actuator with the shiftable device and actuating the actuator to shift the shiftable device between positions.
摘要:
The invention pertains to an improved apparatus comprised of a monolith catalytic reactor having an inlet and an outlet and a static mixer having an inlet and an outlet thereto with the outlet of said static mixer in communication with the inlet of said monolith catalytic reactor. The invention also pertains to an improvement in a process for effecting a reaction in the monolith catalytic reactor wherein a reactant gas and reactant liquid are introduced to the inlet to the monolith catalytic reactor, reacted and, then, the reaction product passed through the outlet of the monolith catalytic reactor.
摘要:
A computer-implemented method for transmitting a scheduled appointment to a patient. Input is received, wherein the input comprises at least one of current data provided by the patient, prior data provided by the patient prior to the current data, and known medical history of the patient. A possible condition of the patient is diagnosed based on the input. The appointment is scheduled for the patient based on the diagnosis. The scheduled appointment is transmitted to the patient.
摘要:
A system and method is provided for a continual updating of the optimization of multiple operational control-variables during the operation of a nuclear reactor over a plurality of fuel cycles. A networked computer system includes one or more hosts programmed to execute an optimization process to identify and make changes in quantitative values of operational control-variables that result in improved efficiency and operational flexibility. Optimization and updating of operational control-variables may proceed selectively under manual control for inputting specific optimization constraints and reactor state-point information or may proceed autonomously through a repetitive performing of the optimization process based upon a predetermined user-defined strategy stored on the network. Communications between users and networked processors is facilitated by use of a TCP/IP server connected to the Internet so that portions of the optimization process may be conducted contemporaneously at remote locations and/or the results made accessible to users via conventional browser enabled computers.
摘要:
A method for application performance data collection includes steps or acts of: customizing a performance tool for collecting application performance data of an application; modifying the application by inserting the performance tool while the application does not need to be rebuilt from the source; executing the application; and collecting the application execution performance data such that only interesting data is collected. Customizing the performance tool proceeds by implementing at least one configurable tracing function that can be programmed by the user; compiling the function(s) into an object file; and inserting the object file into the performance tool using binary instrumentation.
摘要:
An apparatus and method are disclosed for determining authentication frequency (i.e., the length of time between authenticating and re-authenticating a user) and challenge type (e.g., username/password, fingerprint recognition, voice recognition, etc.) based on what software applications a user is running on a data-processing system, and how those applications are being used (e.g., what functions are used, what data is input to or output by the application, how often and for how long applications are used, what input devices and output devices are used, etc.) Advantageously, the illustrative embodiment enables authentication frequency and challenge type to be adjusted based on the likelihood of malicious activity and/or the potential cost of malicious activity, as inferred from current and past application usage. In addition, the illustrative embodiment enables selection of an authentication challenge type that is less intrusive to a user based on current application usage.
摘要:
Disclosed is a nonwoven web comprising a plurality of first regions and a plurality of second regions comprised of the same material and being visually distinct from each other, wherein the first regions will exhibit resistive forces in response to an applied elongation along at least one axis before a substantial portion of the second regions develop significant resistive forces to the applied elongation.
