Abstract: Methods and systems for providing dynamic parallel coordinates visualization of network flows are described. One example method includes identifying protocol metadata associated with a plurality of network flows on a network; analyzing the protocol metadata associated with the network flows to determine one or more metadata attributes associated with the network flows; and presenting a parallel coordinates visualization of the network flows, the parallel coordinates visualization including a plurality of axes, each axis corresponding to one of the determined metadata attributes, wherein each of the network flows is represented as a line interconnecting respective points on each of the axes of the parallel coordinates visualization, and wherein a position of each point on its respective axis represents a value of the metadata attribute associated with the axis for the network flow represented by the line.

Abstract: Methods and systems for providing selective packet capture are described. One example method includes identifying a packet capture rule from a set of packet capture rules, the packet capture rule including a trigger condition and an action to perform when the trigger condition is detected; monitoring a network flow to detect whether the network flow satisfies the packet capture rule's trigger condition, wherein monitoring the network flow includes analyzing one or more packets included in the network flow to determine a set of protocol metadata associated with the network flow; and selectively performing the action associated with the packet capture rule on the network flow based on a result of the monitoring.

Abstract: The invention generally relates to a method for sequestration contaminates. More particularly, the invention relates to a significant performance enhancement over existing mineral carbonation processes through the use of a high mass transfer system and an efficient pH swing reaction. More particularly, aspects of the invention are directed to direct and indirect methods of sequestering contaminates.

Abstract: The invention generally relates to system and method for recovering sodium bicarbonate from a solid waste, and more particularly to a method and system for recovering sodium bicarbonate from fly ash of a coal fired plant collected downstream of an injection process for pollution reduction from the industrial process.

Abstract: The invention relates to a gas liquid contactor and effluent cleaning system and method and more particularly to individually fed nozzle banks including an array of nozzles configured to produce uniformly spaced flat liquid jets shaped to minimize disruption from a gas. An embodiment of the invention is directed towards a gas liquid contactor having a plurality of modules including a liquid inlet and outlet and a gas inlet and outlet. An array of nozzles is in communication with the liquid inlet and the gas inlet. The array of nozzles is configured to produce uniformly spaced flat liquid jets shaped to minimize disruption from a gas flow and maximize gas flow and liquid flow interactions while rapidly replenishing the liquid.

Abstract: The invention relates to a gas liquid contactor and effluent cleaning system and method and more particularly to an array of nozzles configured to produce uniformly spaced flat liquid jets with reduced linear stability. An embodiment of the invention is directed towards a stability unit used with nozzles of a gas liquid contactor and/or an enhancer for stable jet formation, and more particularly to reducing the stability of liquid jets formed from nozzles of the gas liquid contactor. Another aspect of the invention relates to operating the apparatus at a condition that reduces the stability of liquid jets, e.g., a droplet generator apparatus. Yet another aspect of the invention relates to operation of the apparatus with an aqueous slurry. Still another aspect of the invention is directed towards to an apparatus for substantially separating at least two fluids.
