Abstract: A hydration apparatus for use with a hydration tank. The hydration apparatus disperses incoming gel into existing gel in the hydration tank to increase the hydration time of the incoming gel. The hydration apparatus includes flow conduits communicated with gel inlets in the hydration tank. The flow conduits redirect the flow of the incoming gel. The flow conduits preferably redirect the flow from a generally horizontal direction to generally vertically upwardly direction. The hydration apparatus has a plurality of deflectors positioned in the hydration tank. Flow exiting an end of the flow conduits is deflected by the deflectors and dispersed into existing gel in the hydration tank. The flow conduits are preferably perforated flow conduits so that a portion of incoming gel passes through openings in the sides of the flow conduits while a portion of the incoming gel passes through an exit of the flow conduits. Incoming gel is therefore sufficiently dispersed into existing gel to increase the hydration time of incoming gel.

Patent CA-2459103-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BAE MYUNG A
IPC: H04L12/56
Filed: 2002-10-26
Abstract: In a multinode data processing system, the messages to be transmitted from node to node, per the request of an application program, are stored in a queue on one of the nodes. Acknowledgment of the receipt of the messages is used to control transmission of messages at future times by adjusting the maximum number of allowable messages to be sent from the queue and also by adjusting the time interval that the system waits before retransmitting unacknowledged messages. This permits the use of so-called "unreliable" messaging protocols and relieves application programs and programmers from the burden of employing more complicated protocols.
