Abstract: A process for producing hydrogen peroxide with an oxidizing unit in an anthraquinone process can be performed. The process and oxidizing unit have a compressor for obtaining hot compressed oxygen containing gas. The hot compressed oxygen containing gas is utilized in a heat exchanger to increase the temperature of a compressed (cold) offgas obtained in an oxidizing step for the production hydrogen peroxide. Accordingly, the compressed and heated offgas can subjected to an expander without the formation of droplets or damaging the equipment. Moreover, the process and an oxidizing unit reduce the required amount of energy in the form of electrical power and steam, as well as the required amount of cooling medium in an anthraquinone process.

Abstract: Some examples relate to classifying IoT malware at a network device. An example includes receiving, by a network device, network traffic from an Internet of Things (IoT) device. Network device may analyze network parameters from the network traffic with a machine learning model. In response to analyzing, network device may classify the network traffic into a category of malware activity. Network device may determine an effectiveness of network traffic classification by measuring a deviation of the network parameters from previously trained network parameters that were used for training the machine learning model. In response to a determination that the deviation of the network parameters from the trained network parameters is more than a pre-defined threshold, network device may generate an alert highlighting the deviation, which allows a user to perform a remedial action pertaining to the IoT device.

The body has an inner surface and an outer surface. The central axis defines an axial direction along the central axis, a radial direction perpendicular to the central axis, and a circumferential direction oriented rotationally about the central axis. The elongate rib is positioned on the inner surface of the body and extends radially inward from the inner surface of the body. The elongate rib defines a channel extending through the elongate rib in a primary direction. The channel is configured to receive a second fluid and isolate the second fluid from the first fluid.

Abstract: Techniques for creating and establishing a configuration of connections between an initiator system and a target system can use whitelisted target ports, wherein the configuration only includes connections to selected whitelisted target ports. Automatic login of each initiator to all zoned and discovered target ports can be avoided where, alternatively, an on-demand or needs-based login can be performed by having each initiator only log into its whitelisted target ports. In this manner, better resource usage and scalability can be obtained using the techniques of the present disclosure. In one embodiment, the whitelisted target ports can be determined automatically using an intersection of target port lists obtained using a control path connection and using a fabric nameserver query. The configuration including the whitelisted targets can be persistently stored on the initiator system to enable restoration of the whitelisted targets across reboots and resets of the initiator system.
