Abstract: A system and method for constructing and deploying a business activity monitoring (BAM) dashboard associated with an event-based process are disclosed. A configuration module receives an event-based process identifier for an event-based process and data, such as inputs or outputs, for the event-based process. A generation module then generates a dashboard description that includes the identifier and an associated dashboard template having one or more dashboard components. This dashboard description is used by a dashboard server to automatically generate a BAM dashboard for monitoring the event-based process by using the association between the dashboard template and the event-based process to display data associated with the event-based process using one or more dashboard components.

Abstract: 1,2-Ethane diphosphonates of the general formulaM.sub.2 O.sub.3 P--CH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 --PO.sub.3 M.sub.2wherein M is hydrogen, metal ion, ammonium, alkyl ammonium or mixtures thereof, are disclosed as inhibiting the corrosion of metals by oxygen-bearing waters. The 1,2-ethane diphosphonates can be employed either alone or in combination with certain thiols, 1,2,3-triazoles, zinc salts, chromates, silicates, inorganic phosphates, molybdates, tannins, lignins, lignin sulfonates, certain calcium and magnesium salts and mixtures thereof.

Abstract: Phosphonomethyl amino carboxylates of the general formula ##STR1## wherein M.sub.1, M.sub.2 and M.sub.3 are each hydrogen, metal ion, ammonium ion or alkyl ammonium ion, Z is --CH.sub.2 PO.sub.3 M.sub.1 M.sub.2, C.sub.1.sub.-4 alkanol, C.sub.1.sub.-4 alkyl carboxylic acid, or C.sub.1.sub.-10 alkaminomethylene phosphonic acid radical, and Q is C.sub.3.sub.-15 alkylene, C.sub.3.sub.-15 alkenylene, or alkaryl radical are useful alone or in combination with one or more conventional corrosion inhibitor compounds to inhibit the corrosion of metals in aqueous systems.

Abstract: An improved process was found for preparing a vanadium-containing catalyst wherein a tetravalent vanadium compound is provided from a pentavalent vanadium compound, comprising contacting the pentavalent vanadium compound with a phosphonate. The improved process is exemplified by the preparation of phosphorus-vanadium-oxygen catalysts, and particularly the preparation of phosphorus-vanadium-oxygen catalysts having a phosphorus to vanadium atom ratio of about 1:2 to about 2:1 comprising contacting a vanadium compound with a selected phosphonate, recovering a phosphorus-vanadium-oxygen precursor, and thereafter calcining the precursor to form the catalysts. The compound 1-hydroxy-1,1-ethylidene diphosphonic acid is preferred as the phosphonate.

Abstract: Carboxylated lactones of the general formula ##EQU1## wherein R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are individually selected from hydrogen, hydroxy, alkyl, hydroxyalkyl, --COOM, --CHOHCOOM, --CH.sub.2 COOM and a 1,3-dioxolane, 5-oxo group, and R.sup.3 is selected from hydrogen and --COOM, wherein M is hydrogen, alkali metal, ammonium or alkylammonium, provided that at least one of R.sup.1, R.sup.2 and R.sup.3 contain a carboxyl group, are disclosed as inhibiting the corrosion of metals by oxygen-bearing waters. The carboxylated lactones can be employed either alone or in combination with thiols, 1,2,3-triazoles, zinc salts, chromates, silicates, inorganic phosphates, molybdates, tannins, lignins, lignin sulfonates, calcium and magnesium salts and mixtures thereof.

Abstract: The precipitation of scale-forming salt in an aqueous system is inhibited by adding either stoichiometric or substoichiometric amounts to said system of a substituted tertiary amine of the general formula ##EQU1## wherein R.sub.1, R.sub.2, R.sub.3, R.sub.4, R.sub.5, X and Y are hereinafter defined and n is 1-20.

Abstract: Imino ethylimino methyl phosphonates of the formula ##EQU1## wherein R and M are hereinafter defined are prepared by reacting a phosphorus source (orthophosphorous acid or PCl.sub.3 and H.sub.2 O), formaldehyde, and an amine of the formulaR'N(CH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 NH.sub.2).sub.2wherein R' is hereinafter defined. The compounds are useful as sequestrants for metal ions, as precipitation or scale inhibitors and as corrosion inhibitors in aqueous media.

Abstract: Substituted tertiary amines of the general formula ##EQU1## wherein R.sub.1, R.sub.2, R.sub.3, R.sub.4, R.sub.5, X and Y are hereinafter defined and n is 1 - 20, and which are found useful as agents for complexing metal ions such as in the field of water treating.
