  • Patent number: 8768767
    Abstract: A system directs a browser or browsing application associated with a user to a targeted web site after the user performs at least two activations or “clicks” of his pointing device. The first “click” is typically on a communication provided by the system, serving as an intermediary, and the second “click” is typically on a first data object or web page of the intermediary, before the browser of the user is redirected to a second data object or targeted web page, typically associated with a party unrelated to the party or entity controlling the system.

  • Patent number: 8626845
    Abstract: The present invention relates to generating time relevant content for electronic communications, such as electronic mail (e-mail). The time relevant content is delivered when the electronic communications are acknowledged by the recipient based upon receipt of an electronic indicator, such as a returned request(s), at a home server. In the case of electronic mail, the time relevant content is dynamic, as it is assembled at the time the e-mail is opened, as opposed to the time when the e-mail is sent, as is the case with conventional or static e-mail and other similar electronic communications.

  • Patent number: 8241603
    Abstract: A multi-stage UCSRP process and system for removal of sulfur from a gaseous stream in which the gaseous stream, which contains a first amount of H2S, is provided to a first stage UCSRP reactor vessel operating in an excess SO2 mode at a first amount of SO2, producing an effluent gas having a reduced amount of SO2, and in which the effluent gas is provided to a second stage UCSRP reactor vessel operating in an excess H2S mode, producing a product gas having an amount of H2S less than said first amount of H2S.

  • Publication number: 20090048902
    Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed for analyzing consumer clicks (clicks) received from search engines from a listing, that includes at least one activatable link, associated with a target web site. The analysis is such that the analyzed clicks serve as the basis for targeting future clicks so that advertisers pay click aggregating bidders (click aggregators) for these fixture clicks at rates corresponding to the quality of the click. The click aggregators adjust the amounts they pay to the search engines that carry the listings corresponding to the requisite advertiser, based on amount they receive from the advertiser.

  • Patent number: 7381393
    Abstract: H2S-containing gases, particularly such gases at elevated pressure, are treated to remove H2S by reaction in a liquid medium with SO2, the SO2 being present in stoichiometric excess with respect to the H2S. The SO2 is produced by combustion of sulfur, preferably sulfur produced in the reaction between H2S and SO2, preferably with oxygen. The process produces a treated gas that is substantially free of both H2S and SO2. An acid-gas absorber/stripper system or other system typically found in such processes to raise or concentrate the H2S level in the gas to be treated, is not needed in operations according to the invention.

  • Publication number: 20060248110
    Abstract: A user creates an advertising campaign by selecting categories and building communications associated with the requisite categories selected. Each user places a bid amount on each category and when the requisite category is selected, the communications associated with the highest bid amounts are sent to recipients, typically over e-mail and/or web channels. The communications typically include text and a link, that includes the uniform resource locator (URL) of a targeted web sire associated with the user, such that when the recipient user activates the link, the browser of the recipient is directed to the targeted web site of the user.

  • Publication number: 20060122883
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for providing content in accordance with informational campaigns or advertisements administered by one or more distribution partners. the distribution partners typically revenue share with the system administrator (system owner), who coordinates the informational campaigns and sends electronic mails (e-mails) associated therewith. By applying a distribution optimization formula to various informational or advertising campaigns of the distribution partners, e-mails with links to these distribution partners will be sent to users, and each user who opens the e-mail and clicks on a portion of the e-mail over an underlying link, will be directed to the requisite distribution partner, typically the server associated therewith.

  • Patent number: 6645459
    Abstract: H2S is removed from an H2S-rich gas, and sulfur is produced, by a process in which the H2S-rich gas is reacted with SO2 in a reactor in the presence of an organic solvent and a catalyst, an H2S-containing off-gas is removed from the reactor and is combusted to produce an SO2-rich combustion gas. Preferably, the reactor off-gas is combusted with a substoichiometric amount of oxygen so that the combustion gas also contains water vapor and sulfur vapor. The combustion gas is cooled by direct quench or indirect heat exchange to produce an aqueous stream comprising primarily water and containing suspended solid sulfur and polythionic acids, e.g., a Wackenroder's liquid, and the aqueous stream is used to provide cooling for the H2S—SO2 reaction. Problems associated with production and handling of Wackenroder's liquids are overcome and sulfur values in these materials are recovered.

  • Patent number: 6495117
    Abstract: Elemental sulfur is recovered from the hydrogen sulfide present in natural gases and other process gases by treating the hydrogen sulfide-containing gas in a series arrangement of a liquid-phase reactor; a furnace and a sulfur dioxide absorber. The hydrogen sulfide-containing gas and a sulfur dioxide-containing gas are fed into the liquid-phase reactor where they are dissolved into a solvent, such as polyglycol monoethers, diethers of ethylene glycol, diethers of propylene glycol, etc., and react in the presence of a catalyst, such as tertiary amine, pyridine, isoquinoline, etc., to produce elemental sulfur. The feed rates of the hydrogen sulfide-containing gas and the sulfur dioxide-containing gas are selected so that there will be an excess of hydrogen sulfide in the solvent thereby ensuring that the reaction products will include, not only the elemental sulfur, but also residual, unreacted hydrogen sulfide.

  • Patent number: 5928620
    Abstract: Elemental sulfur is recovered from the hydrogen sulfide present in natural gas or other process gases by passing the hydrogen sulfide contaminated gas through a hydrogen sulfide absorber so as to obtain a natural or other process gas having a diminished amount of hydrogen sulfide and stripping the hydrogen sulfide out the resulting hydrogen sulfide rich solution so as to obtain a hydrogen sulfide rich gas; feeding the hydrogen sulfide rich gas and sulfur dioxide into a reactor so that the following reaction takes occurs, 2H.sub.2 S+SO.sub.2 .fwdarw.3/2S.sub.2 +2H.sub.2 O under such conditions that there is approximately a 50 percent stoichiometric excess of hydrogen sulfide; combusting the residual, unreacted hydrogen sulfide to convert it into sulfur dioxide, and passing the resulting sulfur dioxide back into the reactor where the reaction between hydrogen sulfide and sulfur dioxide occurs.

  • Patent number: 5567283
    Abstract: An electrolytic chlorine gas generating system is disclosed. The system includes an electrolytic cell generating the chlorine gas, a brine tank supplying saturated brine to the anode compartment of the cell, and an acid feed tank containing hydrochloric acid at sufficient concentration to maintain the anolyte brine at less than about pH 4.0. In operation, the brine tank contains solid sodium chloride which dissolves in the brine and replenishes the anolyte brine solution as chloride ion is consumed during electrolysis. The acid feed tank is in fluid communication with the brine tank so that the brine is maintained at a constant volume during electrolysis. A caustic system is also disclosed including a means for controlling caustic delivery.
