Abstract: A process for treating a gas comprising hydrogen suilfide and carbon dioxide by contacting the gas with a scrub solution comprising ammonium sulfite and ammonium bisulfite in a first contact zone to produce ammonium thiosulfate. The scrub solution can be formed in a second contact zone by contacting ammonia and hydrogen sulfide with an aqueous solution. The oxidation potential of the first contact zone effluent liquid can be controlled by modulating the amount of sulfur dioxide supplied to the second contact zone. Alternatively, the sulfite concentration of the first contact zone effluent can be measured with an infrared analyzer and the amount of sulfur dioxide supplied to the second contact zone modulated in response. Additionally, the amount of ammonia supplied to the second contact zone can be modulated in response to the pH in the second contact zone. The process can further comprise a solvent scrubber to remove carbon dioxide from the first contact zone overhead gas.

Abstract: A continuous sheet having a combination of acidic and basic water-absorbing resin particles that are essentially not neutralized and can be continuously manufactured on conventional papermaking apparatus, using a wet, dry, or wet-dry process to manufacture a water-absorbent sheet-like substrate containing 50%-100% by weight of the combination of acidic and basic water-absorbent particles. The acidic and basic essentially unneutralized resins can be contained in the sheet material articles of the present invention as separate acidic and basic resin particles, or as multicomponent particles containing both the acidic and basic resins. The sheet materials can be manufactured having new and unexpected structural integrity, with little or no shakeout or loss of superabsorbent particles during or after manufacture while exhibiting exceptional water absorption and retention properties.

Abstract: A system and method for updating a filtering system which controls access to a website/page between a local area network (LAN) and an Internet. The LAN includes an Internet gateway system coupled to a workstation and configured to receive a URL request. The system controls access to the website/page associated with the URL based on one or more categories that are associated with the URL. The Internet gateway system can determine the category that is associated with the URL by referencing a master database or requesting the category from a database factory. The database factory can receive URLs from multiple Internet gateway systems. The database factory determines whether the identifier was previously categorized by the database factory and provides the category to the Internet gateway system. Once the Internet gateway system has the category, it applies rules associated with the category and user to filter access to the requested website/page.

Abstract: In response to a request to access a database, a decision is made that a secondary data structure associated with the database needs rebuilding. A reason why the secondary data structure needs rebuilding is determined and the reason is presented via a user interface. In various embodiments, other information may also be presented, such as an identification of the operation associated with the request that encountered the secondary data structure and an identification of a most recent query that used the secondary data structure. In this way, the user may be informed of the reason why a secondary data structure needs rebuilding, so that the user may opt to take action to prevent secondary data structures from needing rebuilding in the future, and thus avoid the expense and time of rebuilding the secondary data structures.

Abstract: Tubular ends are heated to a predetermined temperature above 1200 degrees Celsius and surrounded by a shield gas when the tubular ends are pressed together to form forge welded tubular ends. The forge welded tubular ends are then cooled down rapidly from said temperature above 1200 to at most 600 degrees Celsius within 3 minutes after the forge welding operation.

Abstract: A system and method for updating a system that controls applications requested for execution on a workstation. A workstation management module is configured to detect requested execution of an application. A workstation application server receives data associated with the application from the workstation. The application server module can determine one or more categories to associate with the application by referencing an application inventory database or requesting the category from an application database factory. The application database factory can receive applications from multiple application server modules. The application database factory determines whether the application was previously categorized and provides the category to the application server module; which forwards a hash/policy table to the workstation management module. Upon receipt of the hash/policy table, the workstation management module applies the policy to control access to the requested application on the workstation.

Abstract: A home agent, attached to a home network, receives, adapts and forwards messages intended for a mobile node attached to one of a plurality foreign networks. The home agent, having received a message, passes the message on to a processing unit to assess whether the message should be adapted so as to be compatible with the destination foreign network and to adapt the message accordingly. The adapted message is returned to the home agent to be encapsulated and tunnelled to a foreign agent attached to the destination foreign network. The foreign agent decapsulates the message and passes it on to the mobile node. This method has the advantage that the mobile node is able to receive messages regardless of the type of network to which it is attached.

Typical embodiments also include, continually and without user intervention, recording values of attributes of the index advice that characterize usefulness of an index and recording values of attributes of the index advice that characterize cost of creating an index.

Abstract: An integrated circuit interconnect is fabricated by using a mask to form a via in an insulating layer for a conductive plug. After the plug is formed in the via, a thin (e.g., <100 nm) isolation layer is deposited over the resulting structure. An opening is created in the isolation layer by using the same mask at a different radiation exposure level to make the opening more narrow than the underlying plug. A conductive line is then formed which makes electrical contact with the plug through the opening in the isolation layer. By vertically separating and electrically isolating the conductive plug from adjacent conductive lines, the isolation layer advantageously reduces the likelihood of an undesired electrical short occurring between the conductive plug and a nearby conductive line.
