  • Publication number: 20090187581
    Abstract: The present invention discloses systems and methods used to consolidate and associate structured and unstructured data together on a file system. File systems are far more efficient for handling unstructured data than conventional databases. File systems can also contain a large volume of structured data serialized in XML (extensible Markup Language). File systems have a lower purchase and maintenance cost than conventional databases. Unfortunately, file systems don't provide fast access to structured data like most databases. File systems also lack the ability to associate data together like relational databases. Solutions to the structured-data access and data association problems are demonstrated in the present invention.

  • Patent number: 7380413
    Abstract: A method for simultaneously producing hydrogen and carbon monoxide by subjecting synthesis gas to a decarbonation in a decarbonation unit, and to desiccation in a desiccation unit. After the decarbonation and the desiccation, the remaining synthesis gas components are cryogenically separated and a hydrogen-enriched gas is recycled upstream from the decarbonation unit and downstream from synthesis gas producing unit.

  • Publication number: 20050232854
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for simultaneously producing hydrogen and carbon monoxide, whereby the synthesis gas is subjected to decarbonatation in a decarbonatation unit (2), and to desiccation in a desiccation unit (5). The remaining constituents are cryogenically separated and a hydrogen-enriched gas (7, 19, 21) is recycled upstream from the decarbonatation unit and downstream from a unit for producing synthesis gas (F).

  • Patent number: 6490410
    Abstract: A heating convection unit and a method of mounting the same, provided with an envelope having a front face, a rear face, a top, a bottom and peripheral side walls. The front face and the peripheral side walls define an inner enclosure. The unit is also provided with a medial shield having front face, a rear face, a top, a bottom and peripheral side walls. The medial shield is mounted within the inner enclosure defined by the envelope and spaced apart therefrom. The rear face and peripheral side walls of the medial shield and the front face and peripheral side walls of the envelope define a ventilation passage having top and bottom openings in communication with ambient air. The medial shield preferably has an intermediate opening communicating with the ventilation passage. The unit is also provided with a cover having a front face, a rear face, a top and a bottom. The cover is fixed over the medial shield. The cover has top and bottom openings in communication with the ambient air.
