Methods, apparatuses, systems, and articles of the invention are used to enhance the efficiency of a computing environment, and to improve its responsiveness to one or more users. In the invention, queuing of data or computer instructions is avoided since this would detract from best case performance for a network environment. The rate-limiting factor for the network is determined, and all constraints imposed by the rate-limiting factor are determined. Business logic is programmed in modules sufficiently small to avoid queuing of instructions. Data is stored by frequency of access and persistence to increase responsiveness to user requests. Requests for data from a data storage device are fulfilled not only with the requested data, but also additional data which is likely to be requested in the navigational hierarchy of presentations to which the requested data belongs.

Techniques are provided for use with implantable cardiac stimulation devices equipped for multi-site left ventricular (MSLV) cardiac pacing. Briefly, intraventricular and interventricular conduction delays are detected for paced cardiac events. Maximum pacing time delays are determined for use with MSLV pacing where the maximum pacing time delays are set based on the conduction delays to values sufficient to avoid capture problems due to wavefront propagation, such as fusion or lack of capture. MSLV pacing delays are then set to values no greater than the maximum pacing delays and cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is delivered using the MSLV pacing delays. In an example where an optimal interventricular pacing delay (VV) is determined in advance using intracardiac electrogram-based or hemodynamic-based optimization techniques, the optimal value for VV can be used as a limiting factor when determining the maximum MSLV pacing time delays.

A method and apparatus provide multichannel signal limiting to prevent any channel signal within a multichannel signal from exceeding defined limits, while still preserving the gain and / or amplitude relationships among the individual channel signals. A limiter is configured to calculate a limiting factor as the value needed to prevent a limit violation on the worst-case one of the channel signals, and then commonly apply that limiting factor to the gain control of all channel signals. Thus, the limiter may generate an actual gain value for each channel signal as the product of that channel signal's desired gain value and the current value of the limiting factor. Notably, in multichannel audio signal applications, coordinating gain control across the individual audio channels by use of the commonly applied limiting factor prevents undesirable spatial shifting of the soundstage, e.g., shifting of the stereo image.

The process described by this invention involves the hydroconversion of vegetable oils appropriately selected for the production of N-paraffins, through hydrotreatment of a stream of vegetable hydrocarbon oils in and / or natural fats that may be used in a pure state or in a mixture with mineral hydrocarbon oil. This mixture flow is submitted to the process of hydrotreatment, obtaining as a result, a product flow with an elevated content of N-paraffins in the range of C10-C-13. This process provides an alternative to the usual process that uses a mineral hydrocarbon oil load (petroleum kerosene of paraffin base) to produce C10-C13 N-paraffins that are raw materials for the production of detergents (LAB), being, therefore, especially advantageous for use in situations where kerosene is a limiting factor for producing N-paraffins, resulting in a product of good quality with a reasonable gain in the production of N-paraffins.

Priority-based access systems and methods for shared communication media are provided. The priority and a corresponding weight of traffic to be transmitted on a shared communication medium are determined. This determination may be made, for example, before a first attempt to transmit the traffic, or before a subsequent traffic transmission attempt following an unsuccessful transmission attempt. The weight controls a rate of change of an exponential delay range limit factor in proportion to a number of attempts to transmit the traffic. The resultant weighted delay range limit factor is used to determine a range of delays from which a delay is selected. A transmission back-off time is then determined based on the selected delay.

The present invention is a novel process for methanol production in a liquid phase reactor from a synthesis gas comprising of hydrogen, carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide. The liquid phase reactor contains a solid catalyst suspended in methanol. In this innovation, methanol acts both as a product and as a suspension medium for the catalyst. The new innovation exploits the condensing conditions for methanol production. By operating at condensing conditions, the methanol partial pressure at equilibrium is higher than the boiling pressure of methanol at the given temperature. Hence the produced methanol of the equilibrium composition condenses creating the potential of more gas to be converted. Since equilibrium is not a limiting factor, high conversions can be obtained.

According to the method, the upper and lower main and secondary controllers are coordinated and matched to realize the optimal utilization of the multi-parallel APF (Active Power Filter) compensating capacity; the feasibility and practical value are raised.
