Abstract: A method and system for executing code remotely is provided. In a preferred embodiment, a client program executes on a client node and communicates with a network. The executing client program then requests the execution of server code corresponding to an object instance or object class instance with which the client program desires to communicate. In response to the client program request, the computer system determines a location where the server code will be executed. This determination is made using a set of rules that arbitrate between location contexts specified by the corresponding server program and a location context requested by the client program. Once the appropriate location is determined, the client program forwards its request to the appropriate network node, which requests execution of the requested server code.

Abstract: In a noisy environment, e.g., a car traveling down the road with the radio playing, a user who prefers that his pager provide him with an audible alert in response to an actuation of the pager may not be able to hear such an audible alert supplied by the pager. To overcome this difficulty, a pager that is set to an audible alert mode is arranged to change its alerting for a particular actuation of the pager from audible to tactile only when the ambient sound level of the environment in which the pager is located is greater than a predetermined threshold level. For each actuation of the pager that the ambient sound level in the environment in which the pager is located is less than the predetermined threshold level, the pager alerts audibly. Optionally, if the pager also determines that it is no longer being worn on the person of a user, the pager alerts audibly regardless of whether the ambient sound level is greater than the predetermined threshold level. Advantageously, as much of the time as feasible the user receives only the type of alert he desires, namelyaudible, while receiving the alternative form of alert, namely tactile, only when necessary to avoid loss of the page by the failure of the use to perceive the alert.

Title: Process for isomerizing linear olefins to isoolefins
Inventor: MURRAY BRENDAN DERMOT
IPC: A61K8/42
Filed: 1994-12-23
Granted: 2006-02-21
Abstract: This invention relates to a process in which a linear olefin is converted under isomerizing conditions to its corresponding methyl branched isoolefin by contact at a temperature of from 200°C to 650°C with an isomerizing catalyst comprising (i) at least one zeolite having only in one dimension a pore structure having a pore size small enough to retard by-product dimerization and coke formation and large enough to permit entry of the linear olefin and allow formation of the methyl branched isoolefin, (d) an alumina binder and (iii) up to about 15 % by weight of coke oxidation-promoting metal. After a period of operation, when sufficient coke has deposited on the catalyst in an amount to significantly reduce the activity of the catalyst, the catalyst is stripped of hydrocarbon and then contacted at elevated temperature with an oxygen-containing gas for a sufficient time to burn off the coke, i.e. to regenerate the catalyst at a temperature of less than about 565°C.  After regeneration, the isomerization process is continued.  The use of palladium and/or platinum as the coke oxidation-promoting metal is particularly desirable.

Title: Structure for supporting egr valve in engine
Inventor: TANIOKA MASATOSHI
IPC: F02B75/22
Filed: 1996-09-11
Granted: 2002-08-27
Abstract: A water passage is provided separately from an intake manifold to interconnect water jackets provided in a front bank and a rear bank of a horizontal V-type engine. An EGR valve is supported on a valve mounting seat which is provided at a front portion of the water passage. A water passageway through which cooling water flows, and a gas passageway through which an EGR gas flows, are defined in the water passage in proximity to each other. The EGR valve is cooled by cooling wind passed through a fan opening in a radiator and by cooling water flowing through the water passageway. Thus, it is possible to avoid thermal influence on the intake manifold by the EGR valve, and to cool the EGR valve without the need for special cooling means.

Abstract: A method is disclosed by which vapour is cleaned of gaseous impurities during evaporation of polluted liquids. Vapour is conducted via a boiler, a compressor to a heat exchanger (12) in which condensation takes place. In order to clean the vapour, a scrubber (14) is arranged between the boiler (3) and the heat exchanger (12), in which the vapour is scrubbed in several steps (17, 18) at different pH values. Thus, the step (17) is an acid step, whereas the step (18) is an alkaline step. In this manner, the vapour for condensation may be conducted into the heat exchanger and be condensed in order to remove a clean condensate without pollution of acid or alkaline substances.
