Abstract: A data mining system and method are provided. The system includes at least one client and a service broker configured to include an interface to receive a consultation request from the client. The service broker forwards the consultation request to a Neugent to invoke a consultation of the Neugent, and forwards to the client a result object returned by the Neugent.

Abstract: An memory device (HDD) storage system (10) has at least one storing location (16) in which an memory device (18) is received while the memory device is not supplied with an electric power, at least one docking location (22) where the memory device is supplied with the electric power so that data can be stored in the memory device and retrieved from the memory device, and a transport device (30) for transporting the memory device between the shelf (16) and the docking location (22). Alternatively, a switching controller (110) connects a system controller (26) and also a power source (118) to an immovably secured memory device (18).

Abstract: A gas separation device includes an inner conduit, and a concentric outer conduit. An electrically conductive filter media, preferably a carbon fiber composite molecular sieve, is provided in the annular space between the inner conduit and the outer conduit. Gas flows through the inner conduit and the annular space between the inner conduit and the outer conduit, so as to contact the filter media. The filter media preferentially adsorbs at least one constituent of the gas stream. The filter media is regenerated by causing an electric current to flow through the filter media. The inner conduit and outer conduit are preferably electrically conductive whereby the regeneration of the filter media can be electrically stimulated. The invention is particularly useful for the removal of CO2 from the exhaust gases of fossil-fueled power plants.

Abstract: An electrically regenerable gas filter system includes a carbon fiber composite molecular sieve (CFCMS) filter medium. After a separate medium-efficiency pre-filter removes particulate from the supply airstream, the CFCMS filter sorbs gaseous air pollutants before the air is recirculated to the space. When saturated, the CFCMS media is regenerated utilizing a low-voltage current that is caused to pass through the filter medium.
