Publication number: 20240157274Abstract: A gas-liquid separator, adapted for separating liquid and gas in an ebullated bed reactor under operating conditions, is disclosed. The device may be used in the petroleum and chemical processing industries in catalytic reactions of hydrocarbonaceous feedstocks in the presence of hydrogen, at an elevated temperature and pressure, to separate gas and liquid from gas and liquid mixtures within the reactor. The device is generally vertically oriented and may be installed in the flow through pan of an ebullated bed reactor. The device comprises a transfer conduit for transferring a gas-liquid mixture stream from a lower section of an ebullated bed reactor to an upper section of the reactor, a vortex separation section having gas-rich and liquid-rich stream outlets, and a gas-rich stream outlet conduit located on top of and adjacent to the vortex separation section. The transfer conduit includes internal means to produce a spiral flow in the gas-liquid mixture, such as a helical or spiral insert.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 16, 2023Publication date: May 16, 2024Inventors: Steven Xuqi SONG, Blaine HOLMES, Wayne MUNSTERMAN, Tom BERRY, Xiaohui ZHANG, Deanne KELLY, Ali VAKIL, Ehsan ZAMAN, Marvin WEISS, Matthew D.

Patent number: 11980141Abstract: An irrigation system includes support towers, pipeline spans, a joint pivotally connecting the pipeline spans, and a truss section. One pipeline span extends between the support towers along a central axis and includes a middle region, and the other is adjacent and coaxial with the first pipeline span when aligned. The truss section supports one of the pipeline spans and includes compression elements, truss structures, and tension elements. The compression elements extend downward from the pipeline span. The truss structures extend longitudinally along the pipeline span and are fixed relative to the compression elements. The tension elements extend diagonally downward from the pipeline span toward the middle region of the pipeline span and are fixed relative to the truss structures.Type: GrantFiled: July 8, 2022Date of Patent: May 14, 2024Assignee: Lindsay CorporationInventors: Matthew John Dudik, Michael South, Troy Hanson

Patent number: 11977088Abstract: A method of reducing quality problems associated with patient sample collection and delivery is provided. It is possible that the method can provide a chain of custody process to better track a sample from the initial point of sample collection to the final point of sample testing. Such a method can also include providing an alert to indicate a potential problem with the quality of the diagnostic test result when a measured parameter exceeds a threshold.Type: GrantFiled: June 16, 2017Date of Patent: May 7, 2024Assignee: Beckman Coulter, Inc.Inventors: Wido Menhardt, Matthew Hanson, Anthony Camisa

Patent number: 11886844Abstract: Techniques are described for enabling users of an information technology (IT) and security operations application to create highly reusable custom functions for playbooks. The creation and execution of playbooks using an IT and security operations application generally enables users to automate operations related to an IT environment responsive to the identification of various types of incidents or other triggering conditions. Users can create playbooks to automate operations such as, for example, modifying firewall settings, quarantining devices, restarting servers, etc., to improve users' ability to efficiently respond to various types of incidents operational issues that arise from time to time in IT environments.Type: GrantFiled: September 22, 2022Date of Patent: January 30, 2024Assignee: Splunk Inc.Inventors: Matthew Hanson, Sydney Flak, Colin Fagan, Jeffery Roberts, Govinda Salinas, Philip Royer

Patent number: 11714683Abstract: A playbook execution architecture used to efficiently execute playbooks by distributing the execution of playbook function blocks to multiple independent “worker” sub-processes is described. Each worker process hosts an independent execution environment used to execute playbook function blocks independently from other worker processes, where each worker process can host an execution environment that is the same as or different from execution environments hosted by other work processes, enabling the playbook execution engine to support function blocks written in multiple different programming language versions or programming languages entirely.Type: GrantFiled: January 29, 2021Date of Patent: August 1, 2023Assignee: Splunk Inc.Inventors: Jeffery Roberts, Matthew Hanson, Ryan Connor Means, Jeffrey Roecks, Taotao Yu
