  • Patent number: 12630756
    Abstract: A method for producing cross-linked chemical treatment agent particles includes introducing a core pellet into a fluidizer. The method also includes mixing a chemical treatment agent with a cross-linker to provide a mixture and introducing the mixture to the fluidizer. The method also includes applying the mixture to the core pellet in the fluidizer to provide a cross-linked chemical treatment agent particle having a size from about 4 mesh to about 120 mesh. The mixture may be heated prior to or during contact with the core pellet.

  • Publication number: 20060100719
    Abstract: The subject invention relates to systems and methods that facilitate display, selection, and management of context associated with execution of add-on instructions. The systems and methods track add-on instruction calls provide a user with call and data context, wherein the user can select a particular add-on instruction context from a plurality of contexts in order to observe values and/or edit parameters associated with the add-on instruction. The add-on instruction context can include information such as instances of data for particular lines of execution, the add-on instruction called, a caller of the instruction, a location of the instruction call, references to complex data types and objects, etc. The systems and methods further provide a technique for automatic routine selection based on the add-on instruction state information such that the add-on instruction executed corresponds to a current state.

  • Patent number: 5778368
    Abstract: The Real-Time Embedded Software Repository Apparatus fully characterizes, evaluates, and reuses real-time embedded software that is placed or stored in a repository database. The Repository System comprises at least one Repository Client and at least one Repository Server and utilizes simulation and translational techniques to allow Real Time Embedded Software (RTES) to be re-used, played, and evaluated on various desktop development environments or target operating environments. The Repository System organizes and processes Repository files as Repository Units which may comprise Software Source Files and Test Software. Repository Units also contain Attachments that provide current and historic information to static files that are stored in the Repository. The Repository Units are further characterized using analysis tools (software analysis) which allow the user to associate fixed and user defined Attributes to the RTES.
