Abstract: A process for continuously providing superheated liquid to a chemical process vessel by providing a first heating device capable of heating an entire liquid effluent stream from the vessel, the first heating device receiving the entire liquid effluent stream from the vessel and returning a heated liquid stream to the vessel; filling a similar second heating device with liquid from the liquid effluent stream prior to applying any heat to the second heating device; heating and increasing the liquid effluent stream supplied to the second heating device while decreasing the liquid effluent stream provided to the first heating device until the second heating device is receiving and returning all the heated liquid stream to the vessel, while adjusting heat to the devices as needed to maintain the heated liquid below the flash point and maintain the desired total amount of superheated liquid provided to the vessel.

Abstract: Apparatus and associated methodology involving use of a multiple-core processor. A reserved hard allocation of resources partition (HARP) dedicates physical resources for operably supporting a first processing function. The dedicated resources of the reserved HARP include a reserved physical memory that is sized in relation to data processing requirements of the first processing function. The dedicated resources of the first HARP also include a command buffer residing in the reserved physical memory. The dedicated resources of the first HARP also include a reserved physical core of the multiple core processor. The apparatus also includes a second HARP having resources that are used for operably supporting a different second processing function. The second HARP resources operably put transaction requests from the second processing function to the command buffer in the first HARP.

Abstract: Disclosed is a storage system and method that provides multi-path bus and component interconnection and isolation in a data storage system. A plurality of data storage devices in a removable assembly are connected to a fabric that is configurable to connect some or all of the data storage devices (or “drives”) to a drive controller and configurable to isolate one or more data storage devices from the drive controller. Multiple controllers, fabrics, and interconnecting buses may be employed to provide redundancy in the event of a connector, bus, or controller failure. Computer program code operating in a host, interface controller, and/or drive controller configures the fabric to isolate failed devices and may be employed to optimize data transfer rates. Data storage devices may be multi-ported. The fabric may comprise any device or devices capable of configurably interconnecting data storage devices to one or more controllers and may comprise multiplexers, cross point switches, port bypass controllers.

Abstract: Disclosed is a storage system and method that provides multi-path bus and component interconnection and isolation in a data storage system. A plurality of data storage devices in a removable assembly are connected to a fabric that is configurable to connect some or all of the data storage devices to a disc controller and configurable to isolate one or more data storage devices from the disc controller. Multiple controllers, fabrics, and interconnecting buses may be employed to provide redundancy in the event of a connector, bus, or controller failure. Computer program code operating in a host, interface controller, and/or disc controller configures the fabric to isolate failed devices and may be employed to optimize data transfer rates.
