  • Publication number: 20050038777
    Abstract: Implementation of the present system takes place in association with a computer device that is used to obtain and process data. In particular, implementation of the present system embraces the ability to query a management framework for any data. In at least one implementation, the querying occurs down to the specific requests for performance of the talents in the system, and results are returned that provide a viewable report. Accordingly, the systems and processes include the obtaining of information all the way down to talents and the receiving of a report all in the same management framework.

  • Patent number: 4336131
    Abstract: A continuous gasification furnace and method of operation. The charge is fed into the furnace chamber between two rolls at least one of which is driven. The furnace chamber can be sealed from the ambient atmosphere. The bed of the furnace contains three zones from top to bottom, these zones are; a volatilization zone, a char reaction zone and an ash zone. Additionally, there can be a drying zone above the volatilization zone. Fuel, air, and steam enter the lower portion of the furnace through strategically located inlet ports. Fuel is used to start up the burning bed while carefully controlled steam to air ratio is used during continuous operation of the furnace. Simultaneously controlled steam cooling effects and exothermic reactions occur in the char reaction zone whereby all or controlled amounts of the oxygen is consumed so that pyrolysis can occur in the volatilization zone without the danger of combustion in that zone or combustion of the fumes leaving the bed.
