  • Patent number: 11977492
    Abstract: A cloud implementation of a persisted storage device, such as a disk, is provided. The implementation supports a variety of features and protocols, in full analogy with a physical storage device such as a disk drive. The present disclosure provides for implementing standard eDrive protocols in the cloud by designing internal disk storage, referred to as a “system area,” in a virtual disk instance that the virtual disk can potentially utilize for a multitude of disk features. This internal storage can be used to implement eDrive protocols, which use the system area to maintain the necessary internal virtual disk state.

  • Publication number: 20070079706
    Abstract: A control gas system for a well gas separator uses a filter to further remove liquid from the control gas. The control gas flows through a gas line to a drain valve actuator to cause the actuator valve to open. A float valve located in the control gas line will supply gas from the separator to the control gas line to allow flow out the drain valve when the float senses that the liquid level has risen sufficiently. The filter is a tubular member having a mesh material within it. The inlet end is located below the outlet so that moisture collected therein flows back down an entry portion of the control gas line.

  • Publication number: 20050069395
    Abstract: The invention is a device utilized to connect moving straps together to enable the use of a longer strap than would otherwise be available. The devise includes an elongated connection body having a top and a bottom portion and at least two diametrically opposed connection walls extending from the top to the bottom portions. The connection walls form an interior bore having at least one set of connection slots, each set being composed of two diametrically opposed connection slots centrally located on each connection wall and extending through each connection wall to the interior bore. The invention therefore provides a means to lengthen a strap with a few extra connectors, rather than dealing with a large number of extra straps, all with different lengths.
