  • Publication number: 20230106027
    Abstract: An incident that requires a resolution responsive to an event detected in a managed information technology environment is triggered. A masked title is obtained from a title of the incident. Using the masked title, a title template is obtained for the incident. Using the title template, an incident type is obtained for the incident, where the incident type is selected from a set that includes a rare type, a novel type, and a frequent type. Responsive to determining that the incident is of the rare type or the novel type, an output of the incident is prioritized so as to focus an attention of a responder on the incident; and, responsive to determining that the incident is of the frequent type, a runbook of tasks associated with the title template is automatically executed.

  • Patent number: 8894830
    Abstract: A low-voltage, low-energy electrochemical system and method of removing protons and/or producing a base solution comprising hydroxide and carbonate/bicarbonate ions, utilizing carbon dioxide in a cathode compartment that is partitioned into a first cathode electrolyte compartment and a second cathode electrolyte compartment such that liquid flow between the cathode electrolyte compartments is possible, but wherein gaseous communication between the cathode electrolyte compartments is restricted. Carbon dioxide gas in one cathode electrolyte compartment is utilized with the cathode electrolyte in both compartments to produce the base solution with less that 3V applied across the electrodes.

  • Publication number: 20110147227
    Abstract: A method and system of separating an acid from an acid-salt solution produced in an electrochemical system using an ion exchange resin bed, by processing the acid-salt solution through the ion exchange resin bed such that the acid is retarded at the bottom of the bed and a de-acidified salt solution is recovered from the top of the bed. After removing the salt solution from the bed, the acid is recovered by back-flushing the resin bed with water.
