  • Dynamic buffer size
    Patent number: 9811261
    Abstract: A processing device determines configuration data associated with a device. The processing device analyzes the configuration data with respect to storage usage data collected over a previous time period. The processing device determines a maximum amount of storage space of a storage component for the device that is predicted to be written to in a future time period. The processing device determines a free space buffer threshold for a free space buffer of the storage component to be greater than the maximum amount of storage space that is predicted to be written to in the future time period.

  • TWO-LAYERED INJECTION MOLDED FIELD JOINT FOR PIPELINE APPLICATIONS
    Publication number: 20170066165
    Abstract: A method of coating a field joint and a coated field joint formed thereby. The field joint coating includes a first thermal insulation material injection molded over the uncoated field joint to form a first layer, and a second thermal insulation material injection molded over the first layer to form a second layer. The second material has a greater flexibility than the first material and a lower maximum operating temperature than the first material. In certain embodiments, the second material forms a significant part of the volume of the field joint coating.
