Abstract: A process for handling interleaved sequences using RNNs includes receiving data of a first transaction, retrieving a first state (e.g., a default or a saved RNN state for an entity associated with the first transaction), and determining a new second state and a prediction result using the first state and an input data based on the first transaction. The process includes updating the saved RNN state for the entity to be the second state. The process includes receiving data of a second transaction, where the second transaction is associated with the same entity as the first transaction. The process unloops an RNN associated with the saved RNN state including by: retrieving the second state, determining a new third state and a prediction result using the second state and an input data based the second transaction, and updating the saved RNN state for the entity to be the third state.

Abstract: A scrubbing solution for removing contaminants, including particularly hydrogen sulfide, from a fluid. The scrubbing solution includes at least one scrubbing reagent which has a primary or secondary amine and an acid, which may be phosphoric acid. The fluid being scrubbed is passed through the scrubbing solution. The contaminants react with the scrubbing reagent securing them in the scrubbing solution. The fluid being scrubbed and the scrubbing solution are then separated. The scrubbing solution is heated and, if the scrubbing solution is under pressure, the pressure is reduced. The acid facilitates thorough removal of the contaminants, and especially the hydrogen sulfide, from the scrubbing solution. The scrubbing solution is then ready for reuse. Because the scrubbing solution is rendered substantially free of hydrogen sulfides, it can absorb other sulfide contaminants that might not otherwise be absorbed.
