Filed:

Dec 28, 2001

Appl. No.:

10/033756

Inventors:

Bruce R. Bailey - Tuttle OK
Xiaojun Dang - Naperville IL
David A. Grattan - LaGrange IL
Linda Link - Carol Stream IL

Assignee:

Nalco Company - Naperville IL

International Classification:

G01N 2164

US Classification:

436 55, 436172, 436 79

Abstract:

A method of monitoring and controlling hardness in an industrial water system is described and claimed. The method requires the use of a Compound that develops a separate detectable fluorescent signal in the presence of soluble hardness. A fluorometer is used to detect this separate detectable fluorescent signal of the Compound. The separate detectable fluorescent signal is used to ascertain the amount of soluble hardness present in the industrial water system.

Bruce Lindley-Burr Bailey - Wallingford PA, US
Tomas Jan Stenstrom - Fort Washington PA, US

Assignee:

The Boeing Company - Chicago IL

International Classification:

G06F 9/44
G06F 11/00

US Classification:

717100, 717124, 714 38

Abstract:

To help identify shortcomings in software requirements for a software capability early in the software development life cycle, the present invention discloses a method of logic testing a software requirement for a software capability, the method comprising: (a) defining a logical representation of the software requirement; (b) defining a test scenario that corresponds to the software requirement; and (c) processing the defined logical representation with the defined test scenario to thereby generate a simulation result indicative of whether the software requirement needs alteration. Preferably, the present invention is implemented as an integrated tool executed by a desktop PC or workstation that interacts with the user through a variety of graphical user interfaces (GUIs) to perform logic testing of software requirements.

Appl. No.:

11/403420

Inventors:

Bruce Bailey - Tuttle OK, US
Peter Hicks - Aurora IL, US

International Classification:

C23F 11/08

US Classification:

422003000, 422014000

Abstract:

This invention concerns methods and apparatus for measuring oxidation reduction potentials of water in a hot water system at system temperature and pressure and methods of using the measured oxidation-reduction potential to monitor and control the addition of oxygen scavengers or oxygen to the system in order to maintain effective corrosion inhibiting concentrations of the oxygen scavengers or dissolved oxygen in the system.
