Abstract: Disclosed in some examples are methods, systems, devices, and machine-readable mediums which monitor for file system element transfers to and from both the endpoint and authorized accounts on network-based service providers (e.g., cloud-based storage). The system uses the capabilities of monitoring both the network-based service and the client computing device to filter out legitimate uploads to authorized network-based services and legitimate downloads to authorized computing devices. By matching events, it filters out events that are likely legitimate, the system may provide more accurate information, notifications, awareness, and unmatched event indications.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a column (1) for a thermal treatment of a mixture of compounds having a tendency to polymerization. The column (1) comprises a mass transfer tray (5) comprising a rising tube (8) having an inlet opening (9) below and an outlet opening (10) above the mass transfer tray (5). The rising tube (8) further comprises a lateral opening (11) above the mass transfer tray close to the upper surface of the mass transfer tray (5). Said rising tube (8) is adapted to form a fountain (13) at the outlet opening (10) by atomization of a liquid fraction of the mixture of compounds from the mass transfer tray that enters through the lateral opening into the rising tube (8). The fountain (13) is sprayed to a spot (16) of the column (1) where polymerization is likely to occur. Furthermore, the present invention relates to a thermal separating process that uses such column (1).
