  • Patent number: 8310959
    Abstract: Among other disclosed subject matter, a computer-implemented method for handling a voice communication in an integrated system includes receiving information indicating that a voice communication between a first party and a second party is to be initiated. The method includes identifying one of a plurality of terminal assignment records as being associated with the second party, each of the terminal assignment records configured to specify, for a particular party, at least one of a plurality of terminal units for receiving an alert to the particular party regarding the voice communication. The method includes generating at least one alert to the second party according to the identified terminal assignment record, the alert based on the received information. The method includes forwarding communication data to an application program available to the second party, the communication data obtained from the received information.

  • Patent number: 7351387
    Abstract: A method for removing impurities accumulated in a scrubbing fluid in a flue gas scrubber and effluents from the scrubber. The flue gases are scrubbed with a scrubbing fluid that includes a calcium-containing absorbent. The scrubbing fluid containing gypsum and other impurities and produced in the scrubber is discharged from the scrubber. The gypsum is separated from the scrubbing fluid. To the scrubbing fluid is added an auxiliary agent, by the effect of which the impurities accumulated in the scrubbing fluid are removed with the gypsum and the moisture content of the gypsum to be separated from the scrubbing fluid is increased.

  • Patent number: 7306776
    Abstract: A method for processing flue gas scrubber material flows. The flue gas is scrubbed with a calcium-based absorbent containing washing fluid for absorbing sulphur oxides from the flue gases, and the formed gypsum slurry is directed from the flue gas scrubber to the separator. At the separating point of the separator, gypsum is separated from the washing fluid and the gypsum and washing fluid are taken out of the separator as separate material flows. From the flue gas scrubber the washing fluid is directed to a tank located before the separating point of the separator or after the separating point of the separator, in which tank foam is separated from the washing fluid as its own phase and taken out of the tank.
