  • Publication number: 20240078162
    Abstract: A system and method for determining and generating a visualization of processor utilization is described. The system accesses a source data set that indicates processor utilization rates of a plurality of servers over a plurality of sampling periods. The system defines a target data set that includes a plurality of processor utilization range buckets corresponding to the plurality of sampling periods. The system updates the target data set based on the source data set. A graphical user interface (GUI) is generated based on the updated target data set and includes a stacked area chart indicating percentages of samples corresponding to the processor utilization range buckets over time. The system distributes, based on the updated target data set, a load of from a first server to a second server based on the processor utilization range bucket of the first server and the processor utilization range bucket of the second server.

  • Patent number: 11917400
    Abstract: Cellular connections can be used to provision non-cellular devices such as internet-of-things (IoT) devices. For example, IoT devices can comprise Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and cellular capabilities. However, the cellular capability can be used to provision the IoT devices using non-internet protocol data delivery to prevent security vulnerabilities. Data can be transmitted to the IoT device using core elements without using an IP stack. Thus, IoT device configurations and the keys can be provisioned over-the-air without the use of internet protocol data.

  • Publication number: 20230392470
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to an apparatus, a system and a process for regulating a wellhead control mechanism. The apparatus is configured to control actuation of a wellhead control mechanism by moving a moveable body of the apparatus between a first position and a second position. When the apparatus is in the first position a valve actuator is actuatable and when the apparatus is in the second position the valve actuator is physically interfered from actuating. When the apparatus is in the second position, the wellhead control mechanism cannot be actuated and is held in either an open, a partially open or a closed position. Other embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a system that directly controls actuation of a wellhead actuation mechanism.
