  • Methods of detecting and identifying munitions compounds
    Patent number: 9465013
    Abstract: HPLC methods for detecting, identifying and quantifying munitions compounds or munitions materials are disclosed. Insensitive munitions explosives (IMX) can be detected along with conventional munitions compounds such as 2,4,6-trinitrotolene (TNT) in a single column analysis. The methods are also useful to provide analytical evaluation of soil samples, aqueous samples such as ground water samples and tissue samples containing insensitive munitions explosives (IMX).
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 24, 2014
    Date of Patent: October 11, 2016
    Assignee: THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AS REPRESENTED BY THE SECRETARY OF THE ARMY
    Inventors: Amber Lea Russell, Jennifer Maureen Seiter, Jessica Ann Coleman, Anthony Joseph Bednar

  • Store and forward facility for use in multiprocessing environment
    Patent number: 4630196
    Abstract: A store and forward facility for use in a multiprocessing, multinode environment is disclosed wherein two fundamental processes (transfer and delivery) perform the bulk of the activities required in this facility. A transfer process permits the creation of a message by an originating applications process and transfers this message to a similar transfer process in each of the nodes to which the message is to be delivered. This message is then in turn transferred to a delivery process which maintains a work item for each message to be delivered to a destination applications process and causes a notification to be sent to that destination application process when an earliest delivery time specified in the message has been reached. The delivery process causes the destination applications process to be created if that process is not currently executing.
