Jul 27, 2006

Appl. No.:

11/494412

Inventors:

Lester S. Gerver - Quakertown PA, US
Christopher David Hopkins - Vista CA, US
Vladimir Yliy Gershtein - Allentown PA, US

Assignee:

Air Products and Chemicals, Inc. - Allentown PA

International Classification:

H05B 3/44

US Classification:

219544, 392423, 219538

Abstract:

A heater for fluid flow components. The heater has heat transfer surfaces that engage the component. The transfer surfaces are mounted on jaws that are movable to engage the component. The jaws have massive portions that act as heat reservoirs to maintain a constant temperature in spite of rapid cooling when gas is allowed to expand freely from the component. The jaws are heated by electrical resistive heating elements that are sealingly mounted within the massive portions. The sealing engagement allows the heater to be used in hazardous environments.

International Classification:

H04L 29/06

US Classification:

709203

Abstract:

A method and system for conducting an offline session simulating an online session between a client and server in a network environment. The client imports data and functional logic from the server prior to going offline. The imported functional logic is embedded into a format or document that is capable of being interpreted and performed by the local interface at the client that is used to interact with server during an online session. Whether offline or online, the user utilizes the same local interface at the client to transmit instructions to the functional logic in order to manipulate the data. In an offline session, such instructions cause the imported and embedded functional logic to execute, thereby manipulating the data that is imported at the client. Known synchronization methods may also be used in order to maintain consistency and coherency between the imported data at the client and the database at the server.

Abstract:

A Hybrid Configuration Management Database methodology is disclosed. In a computer-implemented method, components of a computing environment are automatically monitored, and have a feature selection analysis performed thereon. Provided the feature selection analysis determines that features of the components are subjectively defined, a classification of the features is performed. Provided the feature selection analysis determines that features of the components are not well defined, a similarity analysis of the features is performed. Results of the feature selection methodology are generated.
