Patent number: 12200052Abstract: According to at least one embodiment, a method, a computer system, and a computer program product for handling an unreliable data sink is provided. The present invention may include reading, continuously, via a stream processor, a batch of data entering the stream processor via a reliable input stream, the stream processor comprising a daisy chain of sink nodes, wherein a first sink node is a primary sink node and a subsequent plurality of sink nodes in the daisy chain are fallback sink nodes; outputting processed data to a non-streaming target system; upon completion of the processed data to the non-streaming target system, invoking an asynchronous callback function listing successful and failed record IDs of the processed data; and passing the failed records to a first fallback sink within the daisy chain, while the primary sink node concurrently continues submitting new batches of data to the non-streaming target system.Type: GrantFiled: November 3, 2023Date of Patent: January 14, 2025Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Tiia Jenna Salo, Christopher M Dye, Jonathan Dye, Michael James Dye

Publication number: 20240000856Abstract: Disclosed are compositions comprising a honey, a cannabinoid, and an emulsifier, and compositions comprising methylglyoxal, a cannabinoid and an emulsifier. The emulsifier is preferably cyclodextrin. The composition is stabilised such that the rate of degradation of the active components in honey, including methylglyoxal and dihydroxyacetone, is reduced. The composition is also physically stabilised such that the rate of separation of the cannabinoid is reduced and the homogeneity of the composition is maintained over time.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 30, 2021Publication date: January 4, 2024Inventors: Mark James Dye, William Douglas, Owen John Catchpole, Teresa Moreno Rueda, Stephen John Tallon

Publication number: 20080063596Abstract: The invention relates to Group 1 metal/porous metal oxide compositions comprising porous metal oxide selected from porous titanium oxide and porous alumina and an alkali metal or an alkali metal alloy. The compositions of the inventions are described as Stage 0 and I materials. These materials differ in their preparation and chemical reactivity. Each successive stage may be prepared directly using the methods described below or from an earlier stage material. Stage 0 materials may, for example, be prepared using liquid alloys of Na and K which are rapidly absorbed by porous metal oxide under isothermal conditions, preferably at or just above room temperature, to form loose black powders that retain much of the reducing ability of the parent metals. When the low melting Group 1 metals are absorbed into the porous metal oxide at about 150° C., an exothermic reaction produces Stage I material, loose black powders that are stable in dry air. Further heating forms higher stage materials of unknown composition.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 16, 2007Publication date: March 13, 2008Applicant: SIGNA CHEMISTRY LLCInventors: Michael Lefenfeld, James Dye

Publication number: 20070167317Abstract: The invention relates to Group 1 metal/silica gel compositions comprising silica gel and an alkali metal or an alkali metal alloy. The compositions of the inventions are described as Stage 0, I, II, and III materials. These materials differ in their preparation and chemical reactivity. Each successive stage may be prepared directly using the methods described below or from an earlier stage material. Stage 0 materials may, for example, be prepared using liquid alloys of Na and K which are rapidly absorbed by silica gel (porous SiO2) under isothermal conditions, preferably at or just above room temperature, to form loose black powders that retain much of the reducing ability of the parent metals. When the low melting Group 1 metals are absorbed into the silica gel, a mild exothermic reaction produces Stage I material, loose black powders that are indefinitely stable in dry air. Subsequent heating to 400° C. produces Stage II materials, which are also loose black powders. Further heating above 400° C.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 28, 2007Publication date: July 19, 2007Applicants: SIGNA CHEMISTRY, LLC, BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF MICHIGAN STATE UNIVERSITYInventors: Michael LEFENFELD, James DYE

Publication number: 20060002839Abstract: The invention relates to a method of making alkali metal silicide compositions, and the compositions resulting from the method, comprising mixing an alkali metal with silicon and heating the resulting mixture to a temperature below about 475° C. The resulting compositions do not react with dry O2. Also, the invention relates to sodium silicide compositions having a powder X-ray diffraction pattern comprising at least three peaks with 2Theta angles selected from about 18.2, 28.5, 29.5, 33.7, 41.2, 47.4, and 56.2 and a solid state 23Na MAS NMR spectra peak at about 18 ppm. Moreover, the invention relates to methods of removing a volatile or flammable substance in a controlled manner. Furthermore, the alkali metal silicide compositions of the invention react with water to produce hydrogen gas.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 14, 2005Publication date: January 5, 2006Inventors: Michael Lefenfeld, James Dye
