Title: Asynchronous mirroring in a storage area network
Inventor: NAHUM NELSON
IPC: G06F11/00
Filed: 2002-08-13
Abstract: A method and a system for simultaneously mirroring of one or many data objec ts from one or many local storage devices to one or many remote storage devices . The one or many data objects may be used during mirroring. A mirroring functionality consists of the application of a succession of freeze and copy procedures repeated sequentially in successive mirroring cycles. Only the la st local updated mirrored version is saved in the remote storage device(s). Eac h new updated version overwrites the previous version. Mirroring is performed asynchronously in the background by freezing and copying successive discrete blocks of data. The mirroring functionality is operable to perform more than one mirroring operation simultaneously as well as simultaneously cross- mirroring.

Patent CA-2467953-A1 (CA)
Title: Methods of using modified natural products as dewatering aids for fine particles
Inventor: YOON ROE-HOAN
IPC: C02F11/147
Filed: 2002-02-20
Abstract: Naturally occurring lipids of vegetable and animal origin are broken into smaller molecules, and used as dewatering aids. The process of breaking the molecules includes transesterification, interesterification, and saponification followed by acidulation. The modified lipid molecules can adsorb on the surface of the particles to be dewatered and greatly enhance their hydrophobicity, which will help increase the rate of dewatering and hence reduce cake moisture. The modified lipids are more effective dewaterin g aids than the naturally occurring unmodified lipids, possibly because they c an more readily form close-packed monolayers of hydrophobes on the surface of t he particles.

Abstract: A work-scaffolding device comprises a single or plural posts (16) that are inside a tower vessel (1) and is stood from the bottom portion toward the top portion of the tower vessel and an elevatable work platform (8) installed elevatable with respect to the posts (16). For work, the posts (16) are built in the tower vessel (1) and the elevatable work platform (8) is installed on the posts. After that, the work height can be adjusted easily and quickly by moving the elevatable work platform (8) along the posts (16). For example, in comparison with a case where re-scaffolding such as adding scaffoldings in the tower vessel is required every time the work height is changed,the workability of work on an inner wall face is improved remarkably and the safety at work is also increased because re-scaffolding at heights is not required. Thus, both reduction in work costs and securing of safety at work can be achieved at the same time.
