Title: Spent caustic (pre)treatment process
Inventor: GONDOLFE JOSEPH M
IPC: B01D3/38
Filed: 1998-02-26
Abstract: A process for pretreating a spent caustic stream (18) prior to oxidation includes countercurrent multi-stage elevated temperature solvent extraction of dissolved organic material from the spent caustic in a multi-stage countercurrent liquid-liquid extractor (20) using a solvent (26) to yield a spent caustic raffinate (42) containing only residual amounts of organic solute. The raffinate is steam distilled in a steam distillation unit (44) to remove the residual organic solutes, yielding a pretreated spent caustic stream (64) substantially free of organic material. Solvent extract (38) from the extractor is regenerated in a solvent regenerator (70) having an overhead stream for purging light ends (76), a bottom stream for purging heavy ends (80), and a heart-cut side stream (26) for recycling solvent to the extractor.

Title: Multiple-agent hybrid control architecture for intelligent real-time control of distributed nonlinear processes
Inventor: KOHN WOLF
IPC: G06F9/44
Filed: 1998-08-18
Abstract: A Multiple-Agent Hybrid Control Architecture (MAHCA) (20) uses agents to analyze design, and implement intelligent control of distributed process. A network of agents can be configured to control more complex distributed processes. The network of agents interact to create an emergent global behavior. Global behavior is emergent from individual agent behaviors and is achieved without central control through the imposition of global constraints on the network of an interagent invariance principle. At each update time, the active plan of each of the agents in the network encodes equivalent behavior module a congruence relation determined by the knowledge clauses in each agent's knowledge base (28). The Control Loop (236) and the Reactive Learning Loop of each agent can be implemented separately. The MAHCA can be used for compression/decompression for processing and storage of audio or video data.

Abstract: A system for transmission and recovery of original digital data includes an encoder, a transmitter, a receiver, a decoder, and an analog phase locked loop. The analog phase locked loop supplies a sender's clock to the transmitter and a receiver's clock to the receiver, where the sender's clock frequency is a first integer multiple of the system clock frequency, and the receiver's clock frequency is a second integer multiple of the sender's clock frequency within 0.1 % tolerance. In a normal flow situation, data frames are output by the receiver in alternate cycles of the system clock. In an overflow situation, data frames are output by the receiver in consecutive cycles of the system clock. In an underflow situation, data frames are not output by the receiver in consecutive cycles of the system clock.
