Publication number: 20240154974Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a system for role based access control to a computer system of a renewable power plant. The users of the computer system are assigned roles defining permissions for the users accessing the computer system when the user login and the computer system of the renewable power plant is checking whether the local role permissions dataset stored at the computer system is different from a remote role permissions dataset stored on an off-site central computer system. If the local role permission dataset and the remote role permission dataset are different, the computer system of the renewable power plant is pulling the remote role permission dataset from the off-site central computer system and overwriting the local role permission dataset; ensuring that the local role permission dataset is identical to the remote role permission dataset.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 3, 2023Publication date: May 9, 2024Inventors: Luis Miguel TEIXEIRA, Diogo Andre RIBEIRO GONCALVES, Rafael Angelo SOUZA CARNEIRO

Publication number: 20240143024Abstract: An example method is performed at a device with a display and a biometric sensor. While the device is in a locked state, the method includes displaying a log-in user interface that is associated with logging in to a first and second user account. While displaying the log-in user interface, the method includes, receiving biometric information, and in response to receiving the biometric information: when the biometric information is consistent with biometric information for the first user account and the first user account does not have an active session, displaying a prompt to input a log-in credential for the first user account; and when the biometric information is consistent with biometric information for the second user account and the second user account does not have an active session on the device, displaying a prompt to input a log-in credential for the second user account.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 9, 2024Publication date: May 2, 2024Inventors: Raymond S. Sepulveda, Chun Kin Minor Wong, Patrick L. Coffman, Dylan R. Edwards, Eric Lance Wilson, Gregg S. Suzuki, Christopher I. Wilson, Lawrence Y. Yang, Andre Souza Dos Santos, Jeffrey T.

Publication number: 20240143147Abstract: A computer system displays a first user interface that includes respective selectable representations of a plurality of categories for media items associated with the computer system, including at least a first selectable representation of a first category and a second representation of a second category. While displaying the first user interface for configuring the system user interface, the computer system detects a first input selecting a set of one or more of the plurality of categories. After the set of one or more of the plurality of categories were selected by the first input, the computer system displays the system user interface, wherein displaying the system user interface includes, over time displaying the system user interface with a plurality of versions of the first background that respectively include media items selected from media items in respective categories in the set of one or more of the plurality of categories.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 8, 2024Publication date: May 2, 2024Inventors: Graham R. Clarke, Christopher P. Foss, Andre Souza Dos Santos, William A. Sorrentino, III

Patent number: 11965844Abstract: A method (and corresponding system) that characterizes a porous rock sample is provided, which involves subjecting the porous rock sample to an applied experimental pressure where a first fluid that saturates the porous rock sample is displaced by a second fluid, and subsequently applying an NMR pulse sequence to the rock sample, detecting resulting NMR signals, and generating and storing NMR data representative of the detected NMR signals. The application of experimental pressure and NMR measurements can be repeated over varying applied experimental pressure to obtain NMR data associated with varying applied experimental pressure values. The NMR data can be processed using inversion to obtain a probability distribution function of capillary pressure values as a function of NMR property values. The probability distribution function of capillary pressure values as a function of NMR property values can be processed to determine at least one parameter indicative of the porous rock sample.Type: GrantFiled: January 8, 2019Date of Patent: April 23, 2024Assignee: Schlumberger Technology CorporationInventors: Yi-Qiao Song, Andre Souza, Muthusamy Vembusubramanian, Tuanfeng Zhang, Wenyue Xu

Patent number: 11947778Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to navigating a collection of media items. In accordance with one embodiment, in response to receiving an input, a device displays a first view of a collection of media items, including concurrently displaying a representation of a first time period and a representation of a second time period. In accordance with a determination that a current time is associated with a first recurring temporal event: the representation of the first time period includes a first representative media item and the representation of the second time period includes a second representative media item. In accordance with a determination that the current time is associated with a second recurring temporal event, the representation of the first time period includes a third representative media item and the representation of the second time period includes a fourth representative media item.Type: GrantFiled: February 27, 2023Date of Patent: April 2, 2024Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Graham R.

Patent number: 11921978Abstract: An electronic device having a display and a touch-sensitive surface displays a mediate item representation corresponding to a sequence of images in a first display mode of user-selectable display modes, where the media item is part of a collection of ordered media items such that prior media item(s) precede the first media item and subsequent media item(s) follow the first media item in the order. In response to detecting touch input including movement in a direction, the device: upon determining that a subsequent media item corresponding to a second sequence of images is designated as being displayed in the first display mode, displays the subsequent media item in the first display mode, and upon determining that the subsequent media item is designated as being displayed in a second display mode different from the first display mode, displays the subsequent media item in the second display mode.Type: GrantFiled: June 29, 2022Date of Patent: March 5, 2024Assignee: APPLE INC.Inventors: Behkish J. Manzari, Britt S. Miura, Stephen O. Lemay, Charles A. Mezak, Andre Souza Dos Santos
