Abstract: Provided is a method for treating an oil gas, which can realize high-efficiency separation for and recovery of gasoline components, C2, C3, and C4 components. The method first conducts separation of light hydrocarbon components from gasoline components, and then performs subsequent treatment on a stream rich in the light hydrocarbon components, during which it is no longer necessary to use gasoline to circularly absorb liquefied gas components, which significantly reduces the amount of gasoline to be circulated and reduces energy consumption throughout the separation process. Besides, in this method, impurities, such as H2S and mercaptans, in the stream rich in the light hydrocarbon components are removed first before the separation for the components. This ensures that impurities will not be carried to a downstream light hydrocarbon recovery section, thus avoiding corrosion issues caused by hydrogen sulfide in the light hydrocarbon recovery section.

Abstract: Techniques for managing access to a physical area are provided. In one technique, first data is extracted from a digital file. Based on identification data within the first data, a database is searched. A data item in the database is identified that matches the identification data. The first data is associated with the data item. After associating the first data with the data item, code data is generated. Encoded data that encodes the code data is then generated. The encoded data is sent over a computer network to a mobile device, or an account, of a user that is associated with the data item.

Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for operation of a feature management platform. A feature management platform is an end-to-end platform developed to manage the full lifecycle of data features. For example, to create a stateful feature, the feature management platform can receive a processing artifact from a computing device. The processing artifact defines the stateful feature, including the data source to retrieve event data from, when to retrieve the event data, the type of transform to apply, etc. Based on the processing artifact, the feature management system generates a processing job (e.g., the API defines a pipeline), which when initiated generates a vector that encapsulates the stateful feature. The vector is transmitted to the computing device that locally hosts a model, which generates a prediction that is transmitted to the feature management platform. Subsequently, the predication and stateful feature can be transmitted to other computing devices.

Abstract: Techniques for managing access to physical assets based on captured digital data and a database are provided. In one technique, one or more functions in an application that executes on a client device are locked. A smart badge that is associated with healthcare information is then received from a remote server system. In response to receiving the smart badge, the one or more functions are unlocked. After unlocking the one or more functions and in response to user input that selects a particular function of the one or more functions, a request and identification data that pertain to the particular function are transmitted over a computer network.

Abstract: An approach is provided for managing processing rules used to process electronic data in computer networks. An application provides the capability for users to define and manage classifications for electronic data. The application also provides the capability for users to define and manage processing rules for each classification. This may include specifying, for each processing rule, a classification to which the processing rule corresponds, one or more conditions under which the processing rule is to be applied and optionally, not applied, a priority for the processing rule, and one or more actions to be performed. The priority may be used to determine which rule is to be applied when more than one rule corresponds to a classification. The application supports the definition and management of classifications and rules on a logical group-by-logical group basis.

Abstract: An approach is provided for retrieving electronic documents. The approach provides a Web-based graphical user interface that allows users to construct complex queries that include Boolean clauses, proximity clauses and/or keyword phrases, without requiring the users to have a working knowledge of query languages. The Web-based graphical user interface also allows users to specify a semantic meaning for one or more search terms. The approach also allows users to generate various reports for search results. Various filters may be applied to manage the amount of reporting data and semantic meanings may be applied to increase relevancy. A time cost estimator provides an estimated review time for search results. Also included are approaches for using the results of simple searches to perform advanced searches, for estimating the cost and/or time for reviewing search results and for performing tagging analysis and for using logical custodians.

Abstract: A print manager of a printing device is configured to retrieve a plurality of print options and features to be used to process a particular print job on the printing device, and to determine whether a resource conservation mode is specified for the printing device. In response to determining that the resource conservation mode is specified for the printing device, the print manager identifies, from the plurality of print options, one or more particular print options that are associated with the resource conservation mode, and generates a modified plurality of print options and features by changing a feature for each of the one or more particular print options to implement the resource conservation mode. In the resource conservation mode, the modified plurality of print options and features is used to process the particular print job to reduce an amount of consumable resources used to process the particular print job.
