IPC: C10J3/00
Filed: 2008-05-12
Abstract: This invention provides a system and method for efficient reformulation of an initial gas with associated characteristics into an output gas with desired characteristic parameters, within a substantially sealed, contained, and controlled environment. The gas reformulating system uses a gas energizing field to disassociate the initial gas molecules and molecules of injected process additives of appropriate types and amounts, into their constituents that then recombine to form the output gas with the desired parameters. The gas reformulating system further comprises a control system that regulates the process and thereby enables the process to be optimized. The gas energizing field may be provided at least partly by hydrogen burners or plasma torches.

Abstract: A system manages access to a cost-constrained resource. The system includes two or more resource consumers that may request access to the cost-constrained resource. Each of the resource consumers may calculate a respective need value corresponding to an amount of data stored in a buffer of the resource consumer relative to a total amount of data that may be stored in the buffer. A concurrency arbitrator may grant access to the cost- constrained resource to a given resource consumer of the plurality of resource consumers based on need values received by the concurrency arbitrator from the plurality of resource consumers. Additionally, or in the alternative, the concurrency arbitrator may grant access to the cost- constrained resource to a given resource consumer based on an amount of data stored in a buffer of the cost-constrained resource that is to be transferred to the given resource consumer.
