  • Patent number: 11934322
    Abstract: A system comprises a storage system comprising one or more storage devices and a storage controller operatively coupled to the storage system, the storage controller comprising a processing device, the processing device to receive first raw data from a first tenant of the storage system to a first non-volatile memory express (NVMe) input/output (I/O) queue of the storage system. The processing device further to determine that the first NVMe I/O queue corresponds to a first key, wherein the first key corresponds to the first tenant. The processing device further to encrypt the first raw data using the first key to generate first encrypted data. The processing device further to store the first encrypted data on the storage system.

  • Publication number: 20230235639
    Abstract: A fishing jar includes an outer housing, a mandrel positioned at least partially within the outer housing and having a fish end, an anvil coupled to or integral with the mandrel, a hammer coupled to or integral with the outer housing, and a triggering mechanism partitioning a first chamber and a second chamber, the first and second chambers separated axially apart and in fluid communication via the triggering mechanism. The triggering mechanism is configured to permit hydraulic fluid to flow from the first chamber to the second chamber at a first rate in response to pressing the outer housing to move toward the fish end of the mandrel during a downstroke of the outer housing, until the outer housing reaches a trigger position, and then permit the hydraulic fluid to flow from the first chamber to the second chamber at a second rate until the hammer impacts the anvil.

  • Patent number: 6904720
    Abstract: There is provided a framework for a construction enclosure system comprising a plurality of brackets, a plurality of rigid elongated frame members, and a plurality of reinforcement members. The brackets are adapted to be attached to a structure under construction. The frame members are adapted to be retained by the brackets in a desired spatial relationship with an outer face of the structure. The frame members are adapted to retain one or more sheet-like enclosure panels. The reinforcement members are adapted to be secured against respective frame members to increase the rigidity of such frame members. One embodiment of the invention provides a frame member comprising a pair of elongated bodies adapted to be retained in a mated configuration to cooperatively define first and second channels therebetween, wherein each channel is adapted to retain one edge portion of a sheet-like enclosure panel.

  • Patent number: 5719209
    Abstract: A process is provided for making a flame retardant thermoplastic composition. The process involves making a preblend composition by blending a lubricant with a tetrafluoroethylene polymer. The preblend is a shelf stable tetrafluoroethylene polymer composition which can be admixed with a thermoplastic and a flame retardant to make the flame retardant thermoplastic composition which are useful to make molded components for computer housings, keyboard housings, printer housings and power tool housings.
