20160097003 | SYSTEMS AND PROCESSES FOR SEPARATING EMULSIFIED WATER FROM A FLUID STREAM - Low-water content organic phases can be difficult to achieve at high fluxes when water is present in an emulsified form, such as in a water-in-oil emulsion. Processes for de-emulsifying a fluid stream containing emulsified water, such as water-in-crude oil emulsions, include introduction of the fluid stream into a vessel that defines a coalescence zone. The vessel is configured to provide for simultaneous application of a centrifugal force and an electric field to the fluid stream within the coalescence zone. The simultaneous application of the centrifugal force and the electric field to the fluid stream provides for the coalescence of a portion of the emulsified water into a bulk aqueous phase. Continuous phases of the organic component and the bulk aqueous phase form in the coalescence zone and are separately removed from the vessel. The bulk aqueous phase is removed from the underside of the vessel. | 04-07-2016 |
20160097004 | PROCESSES FOR DESALTING CRUDE OIL UNDER DYNAMIC FLOW CONDITIONS - Presented is a process for desalting crude oil.

A water-in-oil emulsion is formed. The water-in-oil emulsion is introduced into a first coalescence zone defined by a first vessel. The first vessel is configured to apply an electric field to the emulsion. The water-in-oil emulsion is broken within the first coalescence zone in the presence of the electric field under dynamic flow conditions to form a partially desalted crude oil and a non-emulsified aqueous salt solution. The partially desalted crude oil and the non-emulsified aqueous salt solution are then separated from one another under the dynamic flow conditions to yield a separated, partially desalted crude oil comprising less than 1 vol. % water. | 04-07-2016 |

Multiple page replacement algorithms can be used in any cache including an operating system cache for caching pages accessed via buffered I/O, as well as a cache for caching pages accessed via unbuffered I/O such as accesses to virtual disks made by virtual machines. | 08-22-2013 |
20130346532 | VIRTUAL SHARED STORAGE IN A CLUSTER - The present invention minimizes the cost of establishing a cluster that utilizes shared storage by creating a storage namespace within the cluster that makes each storage device, which is physically connected to any of the nodes in the cluster, appear to be physically connected to all nodes in the cluster. A virtual host bus adapter (VHBA) is executed on each node, and is used to create the storage namespace. Each VHBA determines which storage devices are physically connected to the node on which the VHBA executes, as well as each storage device that is physically connected to each of the other nodes. All storage devices determined in this manner are aggregated into the storage namespace which is then presented to the operating system on each node so as to provide the illusion that all storage devices in the storage namespace are physically connected to each node. | 12-26-2013 |
20140281709 | RECOVERY OF APPLICATION FROM SNAPSHOT - The targeted recovery of application-specific data corresponding to an application without performing recovery of the entire volume. The recovery is initiated by beginning to copy the prior state of the content of an application-specific data container from a prior snapshot to the application-specific data container in an operation volume accessible by the application. However, while the content of the application-specific data container is still being copied from the snapshot to the application-specific data container, the application is still permitted to perform read and write operations on the application-specific data container. Thus, the application-specific data container appears to the application to be fully accessible even though recovery of the content of the application-specific data container is still continuing in the background. | 09-18-2014 |
20140359054 | Distributed Storage Defense in a Cluster - Embodiments provide a method and system for enabling access to a storage device. Specifically, a node may request admittance to a cluster that has read and write access to a storage device. The node seeking access to the storage device must be first be approved by other nodes in the cluster. As part of the request, the node seeking access to the storage device sends a registration key to a storage device. Upon expiration of a registration timer, the node seeking access to the storage device receives a registration table from the storage device and determines whether its registration key is stored in the registration table. If the registration key is stored in the registration table the node has been accepted in the cluster and as a result, has been granted read and write access to the storage device. | 12-04-2014 |
