Abstract:
Provided are a method, system, and program for receiving a request to remove a record. A determination is made as to whether a state associated with the record includes at least one hold state and whether the state associated with the record includes at least a retention period that has not expired. The request to remove the record is denied in response to determining that the state associated with the record includes at least one of at least one hold state and one retention period that has not expired.
Abstract:
A process for producing titania from a solid, iron-containing titaniferous material (such as ilmenite) is disclosed. The process includes a first step of treating iron-containing titaniferous material under conditions that reduce ferric ions to ferrous ions in the titaniferous material. Thereafter the process include steps of leaching treated titaniferous material and forming a leach liquor that includes an acidic solution of titanyl sulfate and iron sulfate and recovering titania from the leach liquor.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for operating interacting different units, particularly of an installation, with different controllers that control these advanced control sequences, particularly with different control pulses. The inventive method is characterized in that the clock pulses (IPOi) of the different controllers (3.1, 3.2, 3.3) are interpolated to a common system clock pulse (tTiex), and that the control sequences are synchronized. A device suited for carrying out the inventive method correspondingly comprises at least one common interpolation device (5.3) for the controllers (3.1, 3.2., 3.3) for interpolating the clock pulses (IPOi) of the different controllers (3.1, 3.2, 3.3) to a common system clock pulse (tTiex) and at least one synchronization device (5) for synchronizing the control sequences.

Abstract:
In one aspect the invention provides a signal bearing medium tangibly embodying a program of machine-readable instructions that are executable by a digital processing apparatus to perform operations to determine a maintenance fee for a data storage system. The operations include monitoring at least one data storage device during operation of the data storage system to determine a duty cycle and determining a current value of the maintenance fee based at least in part on the determined duty cycle. In a further disk drive-based embodiment the operations may include, or be instead, determining a disk drive redundancy configuration of disk drives of a data storage system. The operations then compare the determined duty cycle to a threshold value and assert a redundancy configuration change signal based on the result of the comparison. For a RAID configuration embodiment having a RAID level, the asserting operation asserts a RAID level change signal based on the result of the comparison.
Abstract:
A method for biometric identification for use with a computing device is provided herein. The method includes capturing a temporal sequence of images of the face of a user at different locations within a three-dimensional interaction space. The method further includes extracting one or more face descriptors from the images and generating a biometric template compiling the face descriptors.

Abstract:
A sulfate process for producing titania from titaniferous material is disclosed. The process includes precipitating titanyl sulfate from leach liquors containing acidic solutions of titanyl sulfate. The process is characterised by: (a) multiple stage leaching to produce leach liquors containing acidic solutions of titanyl sulfate; (b) using depleted leach liquor from a titanyl sulfate precipitation reactor in the leach steps; and (c) controlling acid concentration in the leach steps to avoid premature hydrolysis and premature precipitation.
