摘要： A natural gas feed stream containing significant quantities of nitrogen and/or carbon dioxide can be increased to a content of greater than 95 percent by volume of natural gas, and preferably greater than about 98 percent, by passing the natural gas feed stream sequentially through three adsorbent beds that are cycled through seven phases comprising: an adsorption phase to adsorb a first gas, a first depressurization phase to remove feed gas from the voids in the adsorbent bed, a recycle phase to remove a second gas from the adsorbent by the passage of a second depressurization gas therethrough and to produce a recycle gas, a second depressurization phase to reduce the adsorbent bed pressure to about ambient and to produce the second depressurization gas, an evacuation phase where the pressure in the adsorbent is further reduced and an enriched primary gas product stream recovered, a pressurization phase where the pressure in the adsorbent bed is increased using secondary product gas from a bed in an adsorption phase, and further pressurizing the adsorbent bed in a pressurization phase by the flow of the recycle gas and feed gas into the adsorbent bed. Various gases can be separated using this process. Nitrogen can be removed from natural gas (adsorbed gas) and carbon dioxide (adsorbed gas) can be removed from natural gas.

摘要： The invention is a pressure swing adsorption system. The pressure swing adsorption system has a plurality of primary adsorbent beds and at least one secondary adsorbent bed. The feed gas stream is flowed to a primary adsorbent bed loaded with an adsorbent that will preferentially adsorb certain components in the feed gas. Non-preferentially adsorbed components flow from the adsorbent bed during this time. Upon saturation of the adsorbent with the adsorbed components, the flow of feed gas is ceased. The adsorbent is fully loaded with the preferentially adsorbed component and there is feed gas in the void space between the adsorbent particles. This primary adsorbent bed undergoes regeneration by partial depressurization through the secondary adsorbent bed followed by a complete depressurization to a final lower pressure. There can be two or more primary adsorbent beds and there will be at least one secondary adsorbent bed. The preferred separation is the separation of carbon dioxide from a hydrocarbon containing stream.

摘要： A projection system for making an object appear and disappear to an observer on cue is disclosed. The system remotely activates a reflective axis and a transmissive axis within a polarized window for making an object on cue appear and disappear. In one aspect, this system contains a reflective back plate, a polarized window, and a textured surface. A reflective back plate is placed behind an object. A polarized window is placed in front of the object. A textured surface is placed in front of the polarized window. A polarized light source is placed in front of the textured surface. If the polarized light is aligned parallel to a reflective axis, the textured surface is visible to an observer. If the polarized light is aligned parallel to the transmissive axis, the textured surface and the object are visible to an observer.

摘要： An improved object projection system provides an observer with a surrounding background that has adjustable contrast levels relative to an object. A transmissive polarizer and a reflective polarizer change relative orientations. The change in orientation causes the level of light passing through the transmissive polarizer to change. In one system, the transmissive polarizer is placed in front of an object. A light source is placed in front of the object and behind the transmissive polarizer. A reflective polarizer is placed behind the object. The reflective polarizer provides the surrounding background for the object. A light source illuminates the object and the reflective polarizer. The object emits reflected light, which travels through the transmissive polarizer. Light from the reflective polarizer is transmitted to the transmissive polarizer. The level of light transmitted depends on the orientation of a transmissive axis of the transmissive polarizer to a reflective axis of the reflective polarizer.

摘要： A network monitor autonomously determines the functional states of a plurality of network monitoring agents loaded on a plurality of network elements. The network monitor sends a query to each network monitoring agent. In response to a query, a network monitoring agent sends a reply back to the network monitor. The reply reports the functional state of the network monitoring agent, operational or non-operational. If the network monitor does not receive a reply back within a timeout interval, it determines that the functional state of the network monitoring agent is non-operational. In an advantageous embodiment, the network monitor autonomously attempts to restart a non-operational network monitoring agent.

摘要： A method for displaying a zooming operation on a display screen of a computing platform. The method includes retrieving data from a geographic data storage system, possibly located on another system, displaying a starting image that shows geographic features at a first scale with a first level of detail and then displaying an ending image that shows the same geographic features at a second scale with a second level of detail. Between the displaying of the starting image and the displaying of the ending image, at least one intermediate image is displayed. The intermediate image combines two component images of at least some of the same geographic features shown in the starting or ending image. The two component images in the intermediate image are at the same scale and are registered with respect to each other so that the same geographic features represented in the two component images coincide. One of the two component images in the intermediate image includes at least a portion of the starting image and is formed using data from a first layer of a geographic database. The other of the two component images in the intermediate image is formed using data from a second layer of the geographic database.

摘要： A process for making a real image of an object appear or disappear to an observer is disclosed. A real image projection system displays a real image of an object. A first polarizer and a second polarizer are utilized to control the appearance and the disappearance of the real image of the object to an observer. By changing the relative angular relationship between a first transmissive axis of the first polarizer and a first transmissive axis of the second polarizer, a real image of an object appears and disappears. In another aspect, a privacy film may be utilized to control the appearance and the disappearance of the real image of the object to an observer. An observer by traveling around the privacy film or the privacy film is rotated; a real image of the object appears and disappears to an observer.
