Presenting multimedia documents over a digital network

Abstract This paper discusses an experimental prototype system for presenting integrated multimedia documents over a digital network. This prototype is the first in a series investigating the requirements placed on the network in support of applications presenting multimedia information. The information consists of multiple media in digital form, including multi-font text, geometric graphics, photographic images, audio and motion video. The paper describes the motivation for this line of research and the initial focus and goals of our first prototype. We describe the hardware comprising this prototype and the current status of our efforts. This is followed by a discussion of some early results we have obtained in dealing with integrated digital media, including motion video, with off-the-shelf components. Finally, we draw some conclusions about required support for digital media.

Capturing and playing multimedia events with STREAMS (demonstration)

Process for regeneration of a solvent for preferentially absorbing acid gases. The solvent, which comprises between 5 and 55 percent by weight water, is steam stripped in a regenerator, and vapor leaving the regenerator with the acid gases is condensed. The resulting condensate is returned to the solvent downstream of the regeneration zone. The condensate may be partially or wholly recirculated to the upper part of the regenerator provided that the majority of it is withdrawn above the regeneration zone. Some of the condensate may be added back to the solvent at the bottom of the regenerator or in a reboiler associated with the regenerator.

A corrosion inhibited composition containing an aqueous gas conditioning solution such as an alkanolamine with small amounts of soluble trivalent bismuth compounds. The compositions are useful to separate acid gases such as carbon dioxide from feed streams in gas conditioning apparatus with minimum amounts of corrosion of the stainless steel.
