Publication number: 20240141524Abstract: A process and apparatus for electrolyte solution production can be provided so that a modular production can be provided. The modular electrolyte production can be provided so that the production system is mobile for being used in multiple different plants at different geographical locations that are remote from each other. Embodiments can be configured so that electrolyte production is made for a plant specific application that provides an electrolyte solution having a pre-selected concentration of at least one electrolyte for use in at least one electrolyzer of the plant. The production can be mobile so it can be provided at different sites to make the same type of solutions or different solutions specific to the needs of the plants it may support. Some embodiments can utilize an electrolyte material handling device that also modular and mobile. Other embodiments can be configured to utilize an on-site electrolyte material handling device.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 31, 2022Publication date: May 2, 2024Applicant: Air Products and Chemicals, Inc.Inventors: GRAEME RICHARD WILSON, TIMOTHY EDWARD CONWAY, BARRY W. DIAMOND, MATTHEW WILLIAM AKHURST, SENTHILKUMAR NANJAPPAN

Patent number: 11567660Abstract: Embodiments are directed to managing data in a file system that includes a plurality of storage nodes and a plurality of storage volumes in a cloud computing environment. Metrics associated with each storage volume may be monitored. In response to the metrics exceeding a threshold value, performing further actions, including: determining storage volumes that are unhealthy based on the metrics that exceed the threshold value; updating metadata associated with the storage volumes to indicate that the storage volumes are unhealthy; decoupling the unhealthy storage volumes from storage nodes coupled to the unhealthy storage volumes; determining replacement storage volumes based on the metadata associated with the unhealthy storage volumes; updating other metadata associated with the replacement storage volumes to indicate that the replacement storage volumes are healthy storage volumes; and coupling the healthy storage volumes with the storage nodes that were coupled to the unhealthy storage volumes.Type: GrantFiled: March 16, 2021Date of Patent: January 31, 2023Assignee: Qumulo, Inc.Inventors: Michael Anthony Chmiel, Duncan Robert Fairbanks, Stephen Craig Fleischman, Daniel Marcos Motles, Nicholas Graeme Williams

Patent number: 11461286Abstract: A software and hardware facility persistently maintains metrics on directories at different levels within a tree of a filesystem. The facility hierarchically aggregates attributes of files contained by directories and stores them as metric values in inode date of each directory within a tree. The stored metric values represent summed or otherwise aggregated data from the descendant directories and files. The metric values are utilized to provide representative compositional samplings of data in the filesystem tree structure. Based on the metric value in its inode data, each directory is weighted in a manner that determines the likelihood that each file sample is taken from that directory.Type: GrantFiled: January 13, 2015Date of Patent: October 4, 2022Assignee: Qumulo, Inc.Inventors: Peter Godman, Kevin O'Neill, Thomas Urban, Graeme Williams

Publication number: 20220300159Abstract: Embodiments are directed to managing data in a file system that includes storage nodes and storage volumes in a cloud computing environment (CCE). A backup job may be executed to perform further actions, including: providing a backup identifier that is associated with the backup job; determining the storage nodes based on the file system and the CCE; disabling the file system by disabling the storage nodes, wherein each disabled storage node is associated with a shutdown timestamp; determining storage volumes associated with each disabled storage node; and generating storage images that archive a copy of information from the storage volumes; associating the storage images with the backup identifier; confirming that the file system is consistent based on an absence of file system activity occurring subsequent to each shutdown timestamp; and enabling the file system by enabling the storage nodes.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 24, 2021Publication date: September 22, 2022Inventors: Michael Anthony Chmiel, Duncan Robert Fairbanks, Stephen Craig Fleischman, Nicholas Graeme Williams

Patent number: 10882744Abstract: An apparatus and method for purifying a raw hydrogen gas stream of chloramines and chlorine is provided. The explosive chloramines compounds can be effectively captured by the carbon adsorbent without accumulating on the carbon surface. Rather, the chloramines are converted via decomposition, into non-explosive products with catalytic effect of the carbon material. Chlorine reacts with impregnated reducing agent on the carbon surface to form the solid products, which can be adsorbed on the carbon surface. The purified hydrogen gas contains little to no trace of chloramines and chlorine impurities, thereby making the hydrogen gas suitable for liquid hydrogen production.Type: GrantFiled: November 15, 2018Date of Patent: January 5, 2021Assignee: L'Air Liquide Societe Anonyme Pour L'Etude Et L'Exploitation Des Procedes Georges ClaudeInventors: Richard Pawulski, Sylvain Houle, Brian Fillion, Yudong Chen, Graeme William Norval

Patent number: 10459892Abstract: A software and hardware facility persistently maintains metrics on directories at different levels within a tree of a filesystem. The facility hierarchically aggregates attributes of files contained by directories and stores them as metric values in each directory within a tree. The stored values represent summed or otherwise aggregated data from the descendant directories and files. The metric values represent aggregated attributes such as total space consumed by a directory and all the descendant directories and files, total number of files within a directory, total data blocks used by a directory and its descendant directories and data files, etc.Type: GrantFiled: January 12, 2015Date of Patent: October 29, 2019Assignee: Qumulo, Inc.Inventors: Peter Godman, Kevin O'Neill, Thomas Urban, Justin Husted, Graeme Williams
