Abstract: A system and method for enhancing operability of client-server computing system is herein disclosed. A system includes a first computing device. The first computing device includes a file type association module. The file type association module determines, as part of a remote computing session, whether to associate a file type with an application program on the first computing device or an application program on a second computing device. The file type association module causes the file type to associate with the application program on one of the first and second computing devices.

Abstract: In some examples, a first computing device installs a driver from a memory of a second computing device into the first computing device, the second computing device physically connected to the first computing device at a first interface. In response to user interaction with machine-readable instructions executed on the first computing device, the machine-readable instructions access an operating system session of an operating system executed on the second computing device while physically connected to the first computing device at the first interface. The driver receives data from the operating system session of the operating system executed on the second computing device, and routes the data to a peripheral device connected to the first computing device at a second interface.

Abstract: An example method for monitoring different data storage devices across a network includes receiving data storage access requests made to different data storage devices across a network. A subset of the access requests to a taxon of a taxonomy of access request characteristics. For the taxon, a taxon threshold is determined for a parameter based upon the subset of access requests. The parameter of a sample of observed access requests, made to a data storage device and belonging to the taxon, is compared to the taxon threshold. A notification regarding the data storage device is made based upon the comparison.

Abstract: In an example method, write commands for a solid-state storage medium having storage region are received. Selected write commands are filtered out according to criteria. The selected write commands are cached. Writing pursuant to the selected write commands is aggregated to within boundaries of one of the storage regions of the storage medium.

Abstract: The present invention relates generally to the field of emission control equipment for boilers, heaters, kilns, or other flue gas-, or combustion gas-, generating devices (e.g., those located at power plants, processing plants, etc.) and, in particular to a new and useful method and apparatus directed to one or more of: (i) reducing the levels of NOx from one or more types of combustors, furnaces or boilers; (ii) reducing the levels of NOx from one or more types of biomass combustors, furnaces or boilers; or (iii) reducing the levels of NOx from one or more types of fluidized bed biomass combustors, furnaces or boilers. In one embodiment, the method and apparatus of the present invention permit the use of a less complex and/or expensive system to accomplish selective non-catalytic reduction (SNCR) and enable one to achieve DeNOx (NOx reduction) under low load or unit turndown operation for biomass combustion in a bubbling fluidized bed (BFB) boiler.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to fluidized-bed boilers and methods for controlling bed agglomeration that can occur when biomass containing high amounts of phosphorus is used as fuel. Iron-containing compounds, such as iron oxide, are added to the fluidized bed to tie up the phosphorus in a form that will not react under typical operating conditions for fluidized-bed boilers.
