Abstract: An Adaptive Software Application consists of several types of modules, called Adaptive Units, which are highly parameterized such that they can adapt to varying business requirements by virtue of externally provided parameters. An Adaptive Application is assembled through repeated use of various combinations of different types of Adaptive Units. Large and complex business systems can be rapidly implemented through this approach. An Adaptive Unit includes an interface component that can present information to and accept information from the outside world (such as a web page or a system interface), a processing logic component that can manipulate and evaluate information based on received parameters received (such as comparisons and decisions as in the case of data dependency decisions), and a data persistence logic component that retrieves, adds, updates, and deletes data targeting one or more Occurrence Databases. All three components of an Adaptive Unit are parameter driven.

Abstract: A 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoropropane product of greater than about 99.9 weight percent purity containing less than about 100 parts per million unsaturated fluorocarbons and a method for its purification from a distillation mixture of 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoropropane with at least one unsaturated fluorocarbon which method includes the steps of: a) reacting the mixture with chlorine to saturate the unsaturated fluorocarbons, b) washing the reacted mixture with an aqueous solution to remove residual hydrochloric acid and chlorine, c) removing the aqueous solution, and d) distilling the reacted mixture to obtain a 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoropropane product of greater than about 99.9 weight percent purity containing less than about 100 parts per million unsaturated fluorocarbons.

Abstract: The invention provides a method for separating fluorocarbons from mixtures of fluorocarbon and hydrogen fluoride. In particular, the invention provides a method for separating fluorocarbons, such as pentafluoropropane, from azeotropic mixtures of the fluorocarbon and hydrogen fluoride using compositional variations with pressure.

Abstract: A process for producing a hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) comprising (a) providing a fluoropolymer-lined reactor; (b) adding a chlorinated organic compound in liquid phase and a fluorination agent to the reactor; and (c) reacting at least a portion of the chlorinated organic compound with at least a portion of the fluorination agent to produce the HFC.
