Appl. No.:

13/134130

Inventors:

Abstract:

A schedule generating processor-implemented method is provided, whereby the method includes determining a plurality of resources for scheduling an event and extracting, from either one or more processor devices, manually entered data, or from a memory device, scheduling information corresponding to each of the determined plurality of resources. A list of available appointment time-slots are generated based on the extracted scheduling information corresponding to each of the selected plurality of resources. One or more scheduling time-slots are then generated from one or more overlapping time slots associated with the list of available appointment time-slots, whereby the generated one or more scheduling time-slots each include a start-time and an end-time determined from any adjacent overlapping appointment time-slots from among the generated list of available appointment time-slots.

Abstract:

A predominantly liquid filled, vapor-liquid chemical reactor having an improved distributor plate assembly is disclosed. At least one of the plates in the assembly is formed with an active area having a plurality of apertures formed through the plate, an opening, and a downwardly depending lip proximate the opening. As vapor ascends through the reactor, the plate and the lip cooperate to trap the vapor upwardly against the bottom of the plate, forming a vapor region. This vapor region facilitates vapor liquid interaction and the flow pattern of liquid through the reactor.
