Title: Claus feed gas hydrocarbon removal
Inventor: KUZNICKI STEVEN M
IPC: B01D53/86
Filed: 2001-06-04
Granted: 2009-11-17
Abstract: A process for adsorbing hydrocarbons from an acid gas stream includes passing the acid gas stream through an adsorbent which selectively removes hydrocarbons, desorbing the hydrocarbons from the adsorbent and contacting the desorbed hydrocarbons with an acid gas removal solution to remove acid gases which have been coadsorbed with the hydrocarbons. The process is particularly useful in removing hydrocarbons from a hydrogen sulfide-containing stream which is being directed to Claus processing for conversion into elemental sulfur. Useful adsorbents include crystalline titanium silicate molecular sieves containing titania octahedral sites such as ETS-10 and similar materials, as well as high silica aluminosilicate zeolite.

Title: Optimized scalabale network switch
Inventor: COTEUS PAUL W
IPC: G06F12/08
Filed: 2002-02-25
Granted: 2009-02-03
Abstract: In a massively parallel computing system having a plurality of nodes configured in m multi-dimensions, each node including a computing device, a method for routing packets towards their destination nodes is provided which includes generating at least one of a 2m plurality of compact bit vectors (115, 154) containing information derived from downstream nodes. A multilevel arbitration process (116, 155) in which downstream information stored in the compact vectors, such as link status information and fullness of downstream buffers (130, 140), is used to determine a preferred direction and virtual channel for packet transmission. Preferred direction ranges are encoded and virtual channels are selected by examining the plurality of compact bit vectors (115, 154). This dynamic routing method eliminates the necessity of routing tables, thus enhancing scalability of the switch.
