Title: Storing operating-system components in paged or unpaged parts of memory
Inventor: HANDLEY DAN
IPC: G06F12/1036
Filed: 2008-05-30
Abstract: The invention concerns a method for determining which components of an operating system (or other software programs) should be included in an area of a memory which is capable of being paged into RAM, and which components should be included in an area of memory from which only whole components are read into RAM. Whether a software component should be placed in the pageable area of the memory depends on whether or not the software component is capable of being divided into memory pages (i.e. "paged" or "unpaged"), for example by checking a flag in a header of the component or a keyword in an instruction file. Dependencies of a component (i.e. the other software components on which a component relies for its operation) may also be examined to determine if they are capable of being divided into memory pages. The component and the dependencies are included or not included in the pageable area of the memory accordingly.

Title: Manufacture of copper sulphate
IPC: C01G3/10
Filed: 1935-04-03
Abstract: Copper sulphate is obtained by acting on copper or a copper bearing material, in the presence of air or oxygen and in the presence of sulphuric acid, with a liquor containing in solution hydrochloric acid or a suitable chloride and NH4 ions.  The concentration of hydrochloric acid or chloride in the liquor may be such that the latter contains 70--80 grms. per litre of chlorine.  The concentration of NH4 ions should not exceed 20 grms. per litre in order to avoid production of copper ammonium sulphate.  Ammonia or an ammonium salt may be used to produce the NH4 ions, and when ammonium chloride is used, the total chlorine concentration is preferably limited to 70--80 grms. per litre.  Reaction may be effected in a tower provided with a perforated false bottom on which the copper in a divided form rests, and the solution produced may be passed to crystallizing tanks, from which the mother liquors are returned to the tower. Specification 413,721 is referred to.
