Abstract: An authorization device (5) is provided for authorizing operations of a remote server (2) requested from user computers (3) via a data communications network (4). The device (5) has a computer interface (6) for connecting the device (5) to a local user computer (3) for communication with the remote server (2), and a user interface (7) for presenting information to a user. Control logic (11) of the device (5) is adapted to use security data to establish between the device (5) and server (2), via the local user computer (3), a mutually- authenticated connection for encrypted end-to-end communications between the device and server. The control logic (11) collects from the server (2) via this connection information indicative of any operations requested by user computers via other connections to the server (2) and requiring authorization by a user of the device (5). This information is presented to a user via the user interface (7) to prompt for authorization by the user. Server operations are controlled in accordance with rule data (18) defining operations requiring authorization by one or more authorizing users. Control logic (15) of the server control apparatus responds to an operation request from a user computer (3) by determining from the rule data (18) whether authorization by at least one authorizing user is required for that operation. If so, the operation is deferred. When a mutually-authenticated connection is established with an authorizing device (5), the control apparatus can supply information indicative of any deferred operations requested from user computers (3) and requiring authorization by the device user. A deferred operation is only performed on receipt of authorization from every authorizing user from whom authorization is required for that operation, providing secure multi-party authorization in a mobile computing environment.

Abstract: With an aim to optimize propylene production, petroleum oil is catalytically cracked by contacting the oil with catalyst mixture consisting of a base cracking catalyst containing an stable Y-type zeolite and small amounts of rare-earth metal oxide, and an additive containing a shape- selective zeolite, in an up-flow type fluid catalytic cracking apparatus having a regeneration zone, a separation zone, and a stripping zone.  According to this fluid catalytic cracking process, the production of light-fraction olefins such as propylene is maximized by applying appropriate process control, monitoring, and optimizing systems. The present invention provides mathematical process models, including:  neural networks, statistical models and finite impulse models. These various mathematical process models are used in conjunction with advanced controllers and optimizing routines to calculate optimal settings for various process parameters. A microwave based system can also be employed for optimizing the performance of a stripping zone, which further optimizes catalyst regeneration.  Process model and historical data to test a predictive system can provide early warning of potential performance degradation and equipment failure in the FCC unit, which decreases overall operating costs and increases plant safety.

Abstract: A list of contacts is stored in at least one contact repository such as an address book of an electronic device. Contacts can be assigned an importance value. An importance value is determined for contacts based on criteria such as the recentness that a contact's information was updated or revised, how recently the contact was added to an electronic device's address book, whether a contact's website was recently accessed by an electronic device, the identity of a contact or the nature of the relationship between a contact and an electronic device. Contact importance criteria can be set in response to selections and inputs, for example via the use of slider bar on a display. Contacts can be dynamically ranked according to their importance and a ranked list of contacts can be displayed.
