Abstract: Processes for producing n-heptane from a mixture of 1-hexene and 1-octene in the presence of a suitable isomerization-metathesis catalyst followed by a hydrogenation step are disclosed. Integrated manufacturing systems for producing n-heptane with minimal waste also are disclosed.

Abstract: Methods for managing communications between client computers and distributed resources. Distributed resources are identified that each of a set of client computers is configured to communicate with, based on configuration information stored on each of the set of client computers. A group of servers are configured to host communications between each of the set of client computers and the distributed resources, based on server capabilities of each server in the group of servers and a policy for load balancing communications through the group of servers. Then the configuration information stored on each of the set of client computers is modified to use the group of servers for communicating with the distributed resources.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention address deficiencies of the art in respect to the visibility of an IP address for a remote resource behind a proxy server and provide a novel and non-obvious method, system and computer program product for managing remote host visibility in a proxy server environment. In one embodiment of the invention, a method for managing remote resource visibility in a proxy server environment can be provided. The method can include establishing a secure connection between a proxy server and a destination server, proxying different connections between different remote hosts and the destination server through the proxy server, providing remote host information for each of the different remote hosts, including IP address, port and protocol, for example, to the destination server over the secure connection, and mapping each provided IP address to an IP address for a corresponding one of the proxied different connections.

Abstract: A ballistic and forced entry resistant construction in which a sidewall is made up of a plurality of vertical columns, at least one perimeter floor sill section, at least one perimeter ceiling sill section, a plurality of bottom internal sleeves at spaced intervals extending upward from the perimeter floor sill section, a plurality of top internal sleeves at spaced intervals extending downward from the perimeter ceiling sill section, a plurality of upper outer panels, a plurality of lower outer panels, and a plurality of inner wall panels. A connecting tube is used to connect the upper and lower outer plates. The vertical columns are located between the bottom and top internal sleeves such that the sleeves fit inside the opposite ends of vertical columns and the upper and lower outer panels are located between vertical support columns.
