  • Publication number: 20240134843
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for storing data are provided. To store data, a data storage system may include multiple storage nodes and a support node. Copies of data may be stored in the storage nodes. When the data stored by the storage nodes appears to be inconsistent, metadata from the support node may be used to resolve the inconsistencies. The storage nodes and support node may be integrated into a single chassis. The chassis may be a form factor compliant chassis such as a rack unit compliant chassis for mounting to rack rails.

  • Publication number: 20240025729
    Abstract: A system detects a fuel dispensing operation that indicates fuel is being dispensed from the fuel dispensing terminal. The system determines an identifier value associated with a volume of fuel dispensed from the fuel dispensing terminal. The system determines a measured volume per unit time parameter associated with the fuel dispensed from the fuel dispensing terminal by dividing the determined identifier value by a unit parameter. The system compares the measured volume per unit time parameter with a threshold volume per unit time parameter. In response to determining that the measured volume per unit time parameter is less than the threshold volume per unit time parameter, the system communicates an electronic signal to the fuel dispensing terminal that instructs the fuel dispensing terminal to stop dispensing fuel.

  • Publication number: 20240025728
    Abstract: A system determines an interaction period during which a fuel dispensing operation is performed at a fuel dispensing terminal. The system determines a measured volume per unit time parameter associated with fuel dispensed from the fuel dispensing terminal by dividing the determined volume for fuel by the interaction period. The system compares the measured volume per unit time parameter with a threshold volume per unit time parameter. In response to determining that the measured volume per unit time parameter is less than the threshold volume per unit time parameter, the system retrieves a video feed that shows the fuel dispensing terminal during the fuel dispensing operation. The system creates a file for the fuel dispensing operation. The system stores the video feed in the created file.

  • Publication number: 20240025727
    Abstract: A system determines that a fuel dispensing operation may be anomalous. In response, the system accesses fuel inventory data that indicates fuel levels in a fuel tank within a threshold period. The system determines a measure amount of fuel that left the fuel tank based on the fuel inventory data. The system determines a calculated amount of dispensed fuel associated with one or more fuel dispensing operations within the threshold period. The system compares the measured amount of fuel that left the fuel tank with the calculated amount of dispensed fuel. The system determines that the measured amount of fuel that left the fuel tank is more than the calculated amount of dispensed fuel. In response, the system confirms that the fuel dispensing operation is anomalous and communicates an electronic signal to the fuel dispensing terminal that causes the fuel dispensing terminal to stop dispensing fuel.

  • Patent number: 11459222
    Abstract: A telescopically adjustable task tray for mobile elevated work platforms is disclosed. The task tray assembly may be used on most standard sized scissor and boom lift mobile elevated work platforms (MEWP's). It provides easy, fast (under one minute) installation, a convenient work surface, a contained space for placing tools and other items, an ideal surface for assembly, and primarily, an alternative to the old practice of working from the platform floor. The invention is not limited to use on mobile elevated work platforms. It could be used on industrial catwalks, mechanical chases, between two sawhorses, anywhere two horizontal bearing points are available within the telescopic range. The invention could also be modified yet still meet the original scope of the invention.

  • Patent number: 11439060
    Abstract: An arbor adapter for converting a common angle grinder to a compact line trimmer is disclosed. The trimmer, as converted, is powerful, efficient, and as safe as any of the typical uses for angle grinders. The prototype line trimmer is 13? in length and may be operated with one hand if desired. Conventional line trimmers are in the 66? range, or five times the length of the present invention. The invention requires no alteration of the factory angle grinder and guard. The invention could be modified as to material composition yet still meet the original scope and claims.
