  • Patent number: 8799923
    Abstract: A method for determining relationship data associated with application programs in a messaging system, comprising the steps of: responsive to at least one first message event sending a message from a first application to a first destination and at least one second message event retrieving, by a second application, the message from a second destination, intercepting message data associated with the message; analysing the intercepted message data in accordance with one or more rules in order to find one or more message parameters; and in response to finding the one or more message parameters, identifying the first message event and identifying the second message event, determining a relationship associated with the first application and the second application. An apparatus and computer program element for determining such relationship data are also provided.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8236262
    Abstract: A particulate desulfurization material includes one or more nickel compounds, a zinc oxide support material, and one or more alkali metal compounds wherein the nickel content of the material is in the range 0.3 to 10% by weight and the alkali metal content of the material is in the range 0.2 to 10% by weight. A method of making the desulfurization material includes the steps: (i) contacting a nickel compound with a particulate zinc support material and an alkali metal compound to form an alkali-doped composition, (ii) shaping the alkali-doped composition, and (iii) drying, calcining, and optionally reducing the resulting material. The desulfurization material may be used to desulfurize hydrocarbon gas streams with reduced levels of hydrocarbon hydrogenolysis.
