Publication number: 20140237295Abstract: An application under test may be run in a test mode that receives a series of test scenarios and produces a set of test results under the control of a verification application. The verification application utilizes “typed-data” (i.e., data having known types that are associated with the data itself, e.g., XML-based data) such that a number of parameters can be set for each event and a number of result parameters can be checked for each result in at least one script. A series of scripts can be combined into an action file that may invoke scripts and override parameters within the invoked scripts. The events can be sent and received using a number of messaging protocols and communications adapters.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 25, 2014Publication date: August 21, 2014Applicant: Miami International Securities Exchange, LLCInventors: Enver Bokhari, Richard Pike, Chandra Sreeraman, Praveen Rohilla, Paul Fost

Patent number: 8580014Abstract: A method of using a modular International Organization for Standardization (ISO) filter house for filtering process fluids is provided. The filter house includes a self-contained rectangular cuboid enclosure having the outside dimension of a standard, transportable ISO shipping container. The filter house has apertures for fluid flow inlet and fluid flow outlet, and a filter element for removing impurities from the fluid flow. The method includes creating one standard filter house design to be used in any multiple to meet various flow requirements. The method further includes creating a common fluid connection between the filter houses and process equipment so that the filter houses operate in parallel. A kit of modular components for filtration of a fluid is also provided. The kit includes an external structure of an ISO shipping container, vanes to direct fluid flow, and a filter element.Type: GrantFiled: July 1, 2013Date of Patent: November 12, 2013Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventors: Anthony Richard Pike, Alun Gareth Williams
