  • Publication number: 20240168932
    Abstract: A method for storing metadata and a configuration schema for each of a plurality of capabilities, and storing a plurality of catalogs, each catalog identifying the metadata and configuration schema associated with at least one of the plurality of capabilities. The method also includes receiving a request for implementation of one of the plurality of capabilities on a pluggable system, and associating, by a lifecycle manager and based on a catalog of the plurality of catalogs related to the request, the metadata and configuration schema related to the requested one of the plurality of capabilities with a domain specific capabilities controller compatible with the pluggable system.

  • Patent number: 9803792
    Abstract: A system and method of sealing leaks in process piping and equipment without process shutdown by providing a clamp having a cavity surrounding a leaking structure, sealant equipment comprising an injection gun to inject a sealant into the clamp cavity, means for pressuring moldable sealant from the gun into the clamp cavity in a staged manner beginning at a point away from the leak site. The preferred sealant comprises a moldable nitrile rubber delayed curing (vulcanizing) formulation or composition molded into shapes for insertion into an injection gun.

  • Publication number: 20120074652
    Abstract: A nitrile rubber based sealant system including seals a made from a unique delayed curing nitrite rubber composition. The composition has excellent storage ability in dry form which can be cured (vulcanized) as needed under and with the aid of varying field conditions. The seals provide superior leak seal suitable for sealing leaks in pipes, fittings, flanges and other structures and are made by heating delayed self curing nitrile rubber formulation comprised of a critically selected combination of components including specially preconditioned nitrile rubber, sulfur, accelerants, activators, fillers, plasticizers, flame retardant, antidegradant, metallic filaments and optionally, nanophase rare earth material.
