Abstract: A system for analyzing the quality of combustion in the vicinity of the over fire zone of a combustion system includes at least one lens assembly mounted to a wall of the combustion system in the vicinity of the over fire zone. One or more photo-detectors are used to measure the intensity of light emitted in the over fire zone. A data acquisition system is connected to the photo-detector assembly via a communication link and includes an analog-to-digital converter and data buffering device for converting the light signals to digital signals. A computer analyzes the digital signals with linear and nonlinear signal analysis techniques.

Abstract: A system, apparatus, and method to dynamically allocate resources provide full connectivity between elements. A common decision execution capability (CDEC) forms a centralized command and control function able to control the elements. The CDEC is adapted to generate virtual chains, each virtual chain a combination of the elements, to achieve an objective. The CDEC can select a virtual chain and either perform the selected virtual chain or generate a plan associated with the virtual chain.

Abstract: Methods for cyclone boiler flame diagnostics and control, including methods for monitoring the operating state of a cyclone furnace using linear and nonlinear signal analysis techniques, including temporal irreversibility and symbol sequence. Adjustments may be made in the air flow distribution to optimize performance. Signals for the main flame and lighter scanners are relatively independent, thereby allowing for independent control of the primary air flow to the burner and secondary air flow to the barrel.

Abstract: A system comprises a client, a plurality of remote resources, and a gateway.

Abstract: The current invention provides a method and apparatus, which uses symbol sequence techniques, temporal irreversibility, and/or cluster analysis to monitor the operating state of individual burner flames on a appropriate time scale.

Abstract: The disclosed embodiments relate to a network computing method and architecture that may employ client computing devices to provide a client computing interface. A computing engine may support the client computing interface and allow allocation of computing power to different functions such as client support or web hosting. Excess computing power may be sold or leased.

Abstract: The disclosed embodiments relate to a computer network architecture and method in which access to computing resources may be selectively controlled. Client-specific computing resources may be identified as unconditionally accessible or conditionally accessible. A condition is associated with the access of each conditionally accessible client-specific computing resource. Access to the conditionally accessible client-specific computing resources is granted if the condition associated with the resource is met.

Abstract: The disclosed embodiments relate to a network computing architecture and method that may employ thin client or other computing devices to provide a client computing interface.

Abstract: A modular fuel processing system has component modules stacked together into a single tower or stacked separately in various configurations in other embodiments. A backbone member having all fluid connections for the modules thereon connects the component modules of the stack(s). The backbone member may contain quick disconnect fittings on each module. The modules of the system are preferably configured using plate-type reactors.

Abstract: Mixed waste containing organic constituents and low level radioactive waste is remediated in a circulating fluidized bed combustor. Three separators are used to filter the flue gas and separate fine radioactive material from coarse non-radioactive material thereby concentrating the radioactive portion. A primary separator separates large material such as sand, lime, flyash or unburned fuel particles from the flue gas leaving the furnace of the combustor. The flue gas is then passed to a secondary separator for the collection of finer particles. In turn, the flue gas is passed to a tertiary separator for the collection of the finest particles of the flue gas containing low level radioactive waste. Solids entrained in the primary separator are recycled back into the bed of the combustor through an L-valve. Solids entrained at the secondary separator are also recycled back into the bed.
