  • Patent number: 9349015
    Abstract: Sets of multiple software programs selected from a set of candidate software programs are evaluated to determine if the applications can collude to violate a security policy and exhibit other undesirable properties. Intra- and inter-application data and control flows can be stored and newly introduced applications assessed based on stored data and control flows. An application provider can certify sets of applications as satisfying a security policy based on consideration of inter-application flows.

  • Patent number: 7387770
    Abstract: A process is provided for the production of liquid ferric sulfate from finely-divided ferric oxide, sulfuric acid and water in a reaction system comprising at least one closed reaction vessel at temperatures ranging from about 120° C. to about 150° C. and pressures from about 25 psi to about 70 psi. Iron oxide streams are fed countercurrent to the ferric sulfate reaction product stream and to the sulfuric acid and water feeds. The continuity of the reaction is effected by re-circulating fractions while withdrawing a fraction of the liquid ferric sulfate having a trivalent iron concentration of at least 10% from the reaction vessel. Yield and efficiency are provided by controlling the rate of iron ore, sulfuric acid and specific gravity and by counter current cycling the waste stream from the reaction through the dilution water and use of a polymeric settling agent to remove unreacted iron content from the digester output.

  • Patent number: 7067100
    Abstract: A process for the production of liquid ferric sulfate from finely-divided ferric oxide, sulfuric acid and water in a closed reaction vessel at temperatures ranging from about 130.degree. C. to about 150.degree. C. and pressures from about 30 psi to about 70 psi. The reaction time ranges from Four to eight hours and produces liquid ferric sulfate having at least 10% trivalent iron. Yield and efficiency are provided by controlling the specific gravity prior to the reaction and by counter current cycling the waste stream from the reaction through the dilution water and use of a polymeric settling agent to remove unreacted iron content from the digester output.
