Abstract: The invention provides a method for the capture of at least one acid gas in a composition, the release of said gas from said composition and the subsequent regeneration of said composition for re-use. The method comprises the step of capturing an acid gas by contacting said acid gas with a capture composition comprising at least one salt of a carboxylic acid dissolved in a solvent system consisting substantially of water.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of capturing CO2 from a gas stream. The method uses a two liquid phase capture composition.

Abstract: The invention provides a distributed architecture where each portion of published content may be divided into numerous (i.e., hundreds or thousands) of small fragments, and scattered amongst the peer systems in the network. Retrieval of data may be accomplished by downloading the contents in parallel, locating a replica of an original fragment if a particular peer system serving the original fragment becomes overloaded or disconnected from the network. This architecture allows the invention to take advantage of the asymmetric nature of most user connections to the Internet by utilizing a collection of small agent applications (agents) running in parallel to deliver content rapidly across the network. The distributed load balancing system used by the invention functions as an agoric resource allocation system, with agents trading favors with a bartering network.

Abstract: A trust manager examines each new class before it is allowed to execute by examining a policy file which includes data structures defining security policies of the user system, a certificate repository for storing a plurality of certificates, a certificate being a data record which is digitally signed and which certifies claims relevant to a security evaluation, a code examiner adapted to analyze the portion of code to determine potential resource use of the portion of code and a trust evaluator adapted to evaluate certificate requirements of the portion of code based on policy rules extracted from the policy file and the potential resource use specified by the code examiner. The trust evaluator also determines, from certificates from the certificate repository and a code identifier identifying the portion of code, whether execution of the portion of code is allowed by the policy rules given the potential resource use, the code supplier and applicable certificates.
