A computer device is disclosed comprising at least one component operable to process commands at command intervals, and control circuitry operable to set an idle mode timeout interval. The control circuitry stores a plurality of the command intervals, and then evaluates the command intervals to set the timeout interval by finding a qualifying number of the command intervals that fall within a sliding window. The component is configured into an idle mode if a most recent command interval exceeds the timeout interval. In this manner, after entering the idle mode the probability that the next command will be processed within the sliding window is reduced, thereby helping to optimize power consumption.

When a user commands execution of a computer program to commence, a loader program 2 is first started. This loader program 2 reads an encrypted version of the computer program 6 and decrypts it using a public key. This generates an executable version of the computer program 9 which is written directly to the computer memory 8. When the loader program 2 has decrypted the whole of the computer program 9 it starts execution of the computer program 9 it has written into the computer memory 8 and terminates itself or is terminated by the computer program it started. The computer program 9 written into the computer memory 8 will be written into its own memory space and will have its own execution thread. The encryption used may be public key/private key encryption.

A gas stream containing e.g. molecular hydrogen is used for the regeneration of a catalyst for NOx and SO2 removal from the flue gas of a gas turbine. In order to reduce the consumption of regeneration gas, the gas inlet is located between the SCOSOx catalyst (2) and the SCONOx catalyst (3). The regeneration gas leaves the catalyst chamber upstream of the SCOSOx catalyst and is recycled. For the regeneration of the SCONOx catalyst and to keep SO2 containing gas from entering the SCONOx catalyst, a second regeneration gas inlet is located downstream of the SCONOx catalyst. The regeneration gas entering the catalyst chamber through this port passes the SCONOx (3) and the SCOSOx catalyst (2). The direction of the flow in the SCONOx catalyst can also be reversed. In another example, regeneration gas outlets are located both upstream of the SCOSOx and downstream of the SCONOx catalyst. But, only the regeneration gas from the SCONOx catalyst is recycled.
