Abstract: A method of providing an integrated graphical user interface can include responsive to executing a host computer program, displaying, within a graphical user interface of the host computer program, a visual element of a plug-in that executes in cooperation with the host computer program without loading a functional component of the plug-in within program execution memory of a computer system executing the host computer program. At least a portion of the functional component of the plug-in can be loaded within program execution memory responsive to a selection of the visual element.

Abstract: The disclosed invention relates to a distillation process for separating two or more components having different volatilities from a liquid mixture containing the components. The process employs microchannel technology for effecting the distillation and is particularly suitable for conducting difficult separations, such as the separation of ethane from ethylene, wherein the individual components are characterized by having volatilities that are very close to one another.

Abstract: A method (300) of generating a simplified netlist using bus information includes the steps of identifying (302) nets that form buses in a netlist and identifying (304) instances of a same type that connect to the identified nets via pins of the same name to form at least one set of instances. The method further includes the step of replacing (308) at least one set of instances with at least a single arrayed instance if each net in a bus is connected to exactly one of the same type of instance via a pin of the same name and the step of deleting the nets forming the arrayed instance from the netlist and replacing (314) the nets with a corresponding bus.
