Abstract: A system for use in predicting resources required for a program. The system including a processor, a storage device accessible by the processor, and a sequential file prediction program that when executed by the processor configures the system to access a history file to determine sizes of past sequential input files input to a customer program and sizes of resultant past sequential output files produced by the customer program processing the sequential input files, determine a correlation between the sizes of the past sequential input files and the resultant sizes of the past sequential output files, utilize the correlation to predict future sizes of future sequential output files based on the current sizes of current sequential input files, and utilize the predicted future consumption of the scalable resources to perform at least one of memory allocation or to determine scheduling for batch jobs being performed by the system.

Abstract: A system is disclosed for drying a material to liberate a substance such as a liquid having a vapor pressure from solids and/or dissolved substances in the material. The system includes a plenum chamber and a blower providing a stream of air to the plenum chamber. An outlet communicates with the plenum chamber and a velocity accelerator is disposed downstream of the outlet. The velocity accelerator is arranged to receive air from the outlet of the plenum chamber into a progressively narrowing interior passageway terminating at a downstream choke point orifice. The choke point orifice discharges into a larger diameter discharge region. A throttle body is disposed in the discharge region and is selectively movable toward and away from the choke point orifice to decrease or increase the volume of the discharge region. A passageway is formed through the throttle body for receiving flashed material from the discharge region and conveying the material in a downstream direction.

Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed for drying a material or, more generally, flash evaporating a target substance having a vapor pressure threshold. The methods and systems include a conveyor conduit that receives material and within which a pressure is established that is greater than the vapor pressure threshold of the target substance. The material moves through the conveyor and is expelled into a pressure drop zone created by one or more venturi nozzles. The pressure in the pressure drop zone is far less than the vapor pressure threshold of the target substance. As the material encounters the pressure drop zone, the targeted substance in the material experiences a rapid and extreme pressure drop and simultaneously a rapid temperature increase. This causes the target substance in the material to flash evaporate virtually immediately. The resulting vapor is separated from the remaining material and the now dry material is collected for further processing or use.

Abstract: A method of modeling a jurisdiction provides jurisdiction resilience information and jurisdiction impact information. The method models a jurisdiction system by determining the multiple different systems present in a particular jurisdiction. The method determines the assets of the multiple different systems and stores asset information describing the respective assets of the multiple different systems in a jurisdiction meta-model. The method may determine critical paths across the different systems of the jurisdiction and identify those critical paths across different systems in the jurisdiction meta-model. The method may also determine cascading effects of incidents to assets within each system and identify those cascading effects within each system in the jurisdiction meta-model. The method may also determine cross-cascading effects of incidents to assets across different systems of the jurisdiction and identifying those cross-cascading effects in the jurisdiction meta-model.
