Publication number: 20240087828Abstract: Microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) switches are disclosed. Parallel configurations of back-to-back MEMS switches are disclosed in some embodiments. An isolation connection of constant electrical potential may be made to a midpoint of the back-to-back switches. In some embodiments, a separate MEMS switch is provided as a shunt switch for the main MEMS switch. MEMS switch device configurations having multiple switchable signal paths each coupling a common input electrode to a respective output electrode are also disclosed. The MEMS switch device includes shunt switches each coupling a respective output electrode to a reference potential. The presence of a shunt switch coupled to an output electrode enhances the isolation of the signal path corresponding to that output electrode when the path is open.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 17, 2023Publication date: March 14, 2024Applicant: Analog Devices International Unlimited CompanyInventors: Padraig Fitzgerald, Philip James Brennan, Jiawen Bai, Michael James Twohig, Bernard Patrick Stenson, Raymond C.

Patent number: 11811632Abstract: A system described herein may provide a technique for the proactive failover of groups of Virtualized Network Functions (“VNFs”) based on monitoring Key Performance Indicators (“KPIs”) associated with the VNFs. KPIs associated with a particular VNF or a set of VNFs may be monitored, and a failover event indicating service degradation or imminent service degradation may be detected based on the KPIs associated with the particular VNF or set of VNFs. Additional VNFs, associated with the particular VNF or set of VNFs, may be further identified for failover from a first data center to a second data center. The additional VNFs may be identified for failover without necessarily monitoring KPIs associated with the additional VNFs, and/or based on factors in addition to KPIs associated with the additional VNFs. For example, the additional VNFs may be failed over based on the KPIs associated with the particular VNF or set of VNFs.Type: GrantFiled: August 22, 2022Date of Patent: November 7, 2023Assignee: Verizon Patent and Licensing Inc.Inventors: Raul Buendia Iglesias, Raymond Patrick, Sudhakar Reddy Patil

Publication number: 20220411346Abstract: The present invention relates to increasing longevity of the nitrogen content of soil through improved liquid delivery formulations of nitrification inhibitors. The liquid formulation can also be comprised of nitrification inhibitors and optionally urease inhibitors that are blended solutions of each. The nitrification inhibitors are present in a mixture that comprises both a protic and an aprotic solvent system. The novel formulations are designed to be applied to fertilizers, especially urea and manure based fertilizers. The delivery formulations provide an environmentally sound and inherently safe solvating system that improves the storage stability of the urease inhibitors by utilizing liquid organic non-water containing solvents, maintains the nitrification inhibitors in solution to storage temperatures of at least 10° C., and provides improved application to fertilizer of nitrification inhibitors.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 27, 2022Publication date: December 29, 2022Applicant: Soilgenic Technologies, LLCInventors: Gary David McKnight, Randall Linwood Rayborn, Wei Xu, Raymond Patrick Perkins, Zehui Yang, David Parker, Andrew Semple

Patent number: 10323494Abstract: A system includes a casing-liner, a first downhole separator, a production pump, and a second downhole separator disposed within a wellbore casing disposed in a wellbore. An annular disposal zone is defined between the casing-liner and the wellbore casing. First downhole separator is configured to receive a production fluid from a production zone and generate a hydrocarbon rich stream and a water stream including a solid medium. Production pump is configured to pump the hydrocarbon rich stream from the first downhole separator to a surface unit. Second downhole separator is configured to receive the water stream including the solid medium from the first downhole separator, separate the solid medium to generate a separated water stream, and dispose the solid medium to the annular disposal zone. The system further includes a tube configured to dispose the separated water stream from the second downhole separator to a water disposal zone in wellbore.Type: GrantFiled: June 29, 2016Date of Patent: June 18, 2019Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventors: Mahendra Ladharam Joshi, Xuele Qi, Raymond Patrick Murphy, Stewart Blake Brazil, Haifeng Jiang, Dewey Lavonne Parkey, Jr.
