An apparatus for connecting a power supply to an electrode within a high pressure, high temperature vessel is disclosed. The apparatus includes a conductor extending through the vessel such that the net force exerted upon the conductor by the vessel pressure is negligible. An elastomeric material seals the vessel conductor interface and the apparatus cools the sealing material to avoid softening thereof.

A method for heating agglomerating slurries in association with a method and apparatus for heating such slurries to supercritical conditions by electrical resistance. A feed slurry and a dilution stream are passed in admixture to a heating zone, and heated. A portion of the heated admixture is separated to provide the dilution stream, which is substantially free of agglomerating solids, to lower agglomeration in the heating zone. Preferably, the solid particles of the dilution stream are comminuted between separation of the dilution stream and before admixture with the feed slurry.

An adiabatic expansion orifice assembly for substantially instantaneously passing a coal slurry from a high pressure region to a low pressure region and a corresponding process are disclosed. The orifice assembly includes a housing having an exit end wall and a passageway through the housing. The passageway terminates in a substantially cylindrical portion or opening adjacent the exit end wall. The effective dimensions of the opening provide a flow rate whereby the slurry passes from the high pressure region through the opening to the low pressure region in less than a predetermined period of time, most preferably less than approximately 0.3 microseconds.The corresponding process involves passing a coal slurry through an orifice in less than the predetermined period of time. This process provides substantially instantaneous transition from a high pressure region to a low pressure region.
摘要:
A method and apparatus for heating fluids, such as an agglomerating slurry of coal and water, to supercritical conditions, wherein an electrical current is passed directly through the fluid. The fluid is directed through a container and heated by passing an electric current between a conductor positioned within the container and the interior surface of the container. The current passes through the fluid, and the electrical resistance of the fluid dissipates the electrical current into heat energy, resulting in the direct heating of the fluid. The rate of heating is preferably controlled by adding an electrolyte to the fluid.

One embodiment of the present method and apparatus for assisting a peer-to-peer connection between a first node and a second node includes receiving, at a third node, a request for connection assistance from one of the first and second nodes. The third node then connects to both the first node and the second node, receives the data from the first node and delivers the data to the second node. In this manner, data may be transferred between the first and second nodes even if the first and second nodes are unable to directly connect to each other (e.g., due to permanent or temporary limitations).
摘要:
In one embodiment, the invention is a method and apparatus for distributed policy evaluation. One embodiment of a method for evaluating a systems management policy, where the policy includes a condition and an action to be taken when the condition evaluates to TRUE, includes forwarding the policy, by a first autonomic manager, to a second autonomic manager and receiving at the first autonomic manager at least partial evaluation results for the condition from a third autonomic manager. The first autonomic manager, the second autonomic manager, and the third autonomic manager are arranged in a ring configuration such that the evaluating occurs in a cascading manner, and only the first autonomic manager has access to a policy storage from which the policy is retrieved.
摘要:
A computer implemented method and system for managing an audit of one or more network layer devices is provided. An audit management system accessible by a user via a graphical user interface acquires network layer device information of the network layer devices and a configuration file comprising configuration file commands. The audit management system allows creation and/or selection of one or more audit policies for the network layer devices. The audit policies comprise one or more audit rules that define functioning of the network layer devices for one or more compliance policies. The audit management system executes the audit policies for performing the audit of the network layer devices by comparing the configuration file commands of the configuration file with the audit rules of the audit policies, and generates a report comprising information about security and compliance of the network layer devices with the compliance policies based on the audit.
摘要:
A method, system and program storage device for browsing hyperlinked documents are provided. A method in one aspect may include enabling navigating from a document having a plurality of hyperlinks to a document associated with one of said plurality of hyperlinks; and enabling navigating directly from said document associated with one of said plurality of hyperlinks to another document associated with another one of said plurality of hyperlinks using one or more of a plurality of defined elements. System and program storage device for performing the above methods are also provided.

Systems, methods and computer products for profile-based identity verification over the Internet. Exemplary embodiments include a method for profiling a user on a network, the method including receiving an input of streams corresponding to network activities associated with the user, wherein the input of streams are received from one or more layers of the network, in response to receiving a request to supply specified-input, receiving a score function and a list of attributes to be monitored, classifying the input of streams into network-activity classifications, extracting values and attributes for the network-activity classifications, and placing the extracted values and attributes into data sets, calculating a score of the data sets, comparing the data sets to a database of activity-specific attributes and mapping the data sets to a class of individuals based on a value of the score and the comparison of the database of activity-specific attributes.
