Abstract: The flow rate of a nonadsorbed product gas stream from a multiple unit PSA plant can
be reduced in response to a reduced product demand by isolating all units in the plant
and inserting an idle step into the adsorption cycle immediately following bed
equalisation steps of the cycle. In a preferred embodiment, the duration of the idle
step is inversely proportional to the percentage reduction in the product demand. To
maintain the product gas purity at the desired level, minor adjustments of the idle step
duration can be made following adjustment to the idle step in response to a change in
product demand.

Abstract: A system and method of configuring VLANs of a multiple port bridging device by
merging potentially conflicting VLANs is disclosed. One or more VLANs are first defined
by the user, and equivalent and subset VLANs are merged. The spanning tree procedure
is then performed to determine a root identifier and a root port for each VLAN. The root
identifier of each VLAN is compared with the other VLANs, and if equal, the root ports
of the two VLANs are compared. If the root identifiers are the same and if the root ports
are different for any two VLANs, the two VLANs are merged into a new VLAN. To
merge two VLANs, all of the ports of both VLANs are combined to define a new VLAN.
Preferably, each VLAN is compared with every other VLAN in this manner. The spanning
tree procedure is then executed for the new VLAN, which is then compared to the other
VLANs in the same manner. Furthermore, if the root identifiers and the root ports are
equal, then it is determined if any shared port of the two VLANs is blocked for one and
not the other. If so, the two VLANs are merged into a new VLAN..

Abstract: A method for determining the effective level of catalyst for the
preparation of a polycarbonate polymer by a transesterification reaction is
disclosed. The method involves measurement of the leaving group by-product
(usually phenol) produced in a test reaction between an aromatic dihydroxy
compound and a carbonic acid diester, in the presence of a known amount of
transesterification catalyst. The by-product production values can be compared
with by-product reference values to calculate the effective level of catalyst. This
data can be used to efficiently control catalytic activity in a production scale
reaction for producing polycarbonate polymer.

Abstract: The pipeline system from the dry alarm valve (3) to the sprinklers is filled with compressed air. The alarm valve is held closed by pressure compensation on the air and extinguishing water side and opened when pressure drops on the air side. The pipeline system is rapidly ventilated by a pneumatic device and the dry alarm valve is rapidly opened by a separate pneumatic device. The quick opening for ventilating the pipeline system takes place before the rapid opening of the dry alarm valve. The rapid openings are undertaken by separate throttle stretches. This ensures that the throttling for the ventilation is greater than the throttling for opening the alarm valve. Diaphragm valves can be used to control the ventilation of the pipe system and the opening of the alarm valve.

Abstract: An architecture and coherency protocol for use in a large SMP computer system includes a
hierarchical switch structure which allows for a number of multi-processor nodes to be coupled to
the switch to operate at an optimum performance. Within each multi-processor node, a simultaneous
buffering system is provided that allows all of the processors of the multi-processor node to operate
at peak performance. A memory is shared among the nodes, with a portion of the memory resident
at each of the multi-processor nodes. Each of the multi-processor nodes includes a number of
elements for maintaining memory coherency, including a victim cache, a directory and a transaction
tracking table. The victim cache allows for selective updates of victim data destined for memory
stored at a remote multi-processing node, thereby improving the overall performance of memory.
Memory performance is additionally improved by including, at each memory, a delayed write buffer
which is used in conjunction with the directory to identify victims that are to be written to memory.
An arb bus coupled to the output of the directory of each node provides a central ordering point for
all messages that are transferred through the SMP. The messages comprise a number of transactions,
and each transaction is assigned to a number of different virtual channels, depending upon the
processing stage of the message. The use of virtual channels thus helps to maintain data coherency
by providing a straightforward method for maintaining system order. Using the virtual channels and
the directory structure, cache coherency problems that would previously result in deadlock may be
avoided.
