  • Patent number: 11866589
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for making carbon black. A plasma gas is flowed into a plasma forming region containing at least one, magnetically isolated, plasma torch containing at least one electrode, and forming a plasma. Collecting the plasma formed in a cooled header and flowing the plasma through at least one reaction region to heat the reaction region, and injecting carbon black forming feedstock into the reaction region, resulting in the formation of at least one grade of carbon black. An apparatus for making carbon black is also described including a plasma forming section containing at least one, magnetically isolated plasma torch containing at least one electrode, in fluid flow communication with at least one carbon black forming reactor section, the plasma section and reactor section separated by a plasma formed collection header.

  • Publication number: 20040019656
    Abstract: Disclosed is a system and a method for monitoring a subject's activity on a global communications network such as the Internet (107). The system comprises a client monitoring module (110) and an enterprise server (102) accessible over the global communications network by the client monitoring module (110). The client monitoring module (110) is established in the Windows Socket Layer (417) of the operating system of the subject's digital computer (108). The enterprise (102) is provided with a database of content (104) available on the network and corresponding topical categories of the content. Artificial intelligence is also provided to categorize on-the-fly content which is not present in the database (104). The method involves a supervisor establishing (526) an account and providing (524) a usage policy for each subject.

Artificial intelligence is also provided to categorize on-the-fly content which is not present in the database. The method involves a supervisor establishing an account and providing a usage policy for each subject. Subsequently, when a subject requests content from the global communications network, a copy of the request is routed over the global communications network to the enterprise server.
