Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide an apparatus and method for producing a nanofiber by using a melt blown method improving productivity. A pellet-shaped raw material (resin) fed into a hopper 2 is supplied and melted in a heating cylinder 3 heated by a heater 4, and sent to a front part of the heating cylinder 3 by a screw 5 rotated by a motor 6. The heating cylinder 3 is provided with a head portion 7, and a high-pressure gas is ejected from the gas ejection hole 71 provided at a center of the head portion 7. The molten resin sent to an end of the heating cylinder 3 is discharged from a resin discharge hole 73 having six superfine tubes provided in a downstream side of the resin ejection hole 73 through inside of the head portion 7. The molten resin discharged from the resin discharge hole 73 is elongated and a fiber having nanometer-order diameter can be formed.

Abstract: Mechanisms for designating particular nodes in a network as measurement endpoint (MEP) nodes are disclosed. Network topology information that identifies a plurality of nodes and communication links in a network is accessed. An initial chromosome generation is established. Each chromosome in the chromosome generation comprises a structure that identifies each node in the plurality of nodes that has an MEP capability and that includes an MEP state indicator for each node. A succession of a plurality of chromosome generations are generated by evolving each chromosome generation into a successive chromosome generation based on a genetic selection function and a fitness function until a threshold condition is met. An optimal chromosome from a successive chromosome generation is determined. A configuration command is sent to each node in a subset of the nodes that configures each node to operate as a MEP node.

Abstract: A process and an apparatus are disclosed for a compact processing assembly to recover ethane, ethylene, and heavier hydrocarbon components from a hydrocarbon gas stream. The gas stream is cooled and divided into first and second streams. The first stream is further cooled, expanded to lower pressure, heated, and its liquid fraction is supplied as a first top feed to an absorbing means. The second stream is expanded to lower pressure and supplied as a bottom feed to the absorbing means. A distillation vapor stream from the absorbing means is combined with the vapor fraction of the first stream, then cooled by the expanded first stream to form a condensed stream that is supplied as a second top feed to the absorbing means. A distillation liquid stream from the bottom of the absorbing means is heated in a heat and mass transfer means to strip out its volatile components.
