  • Patent number: 12270495
    Abstract: A mechanism for restraining pipe against both internal and external forces at a pipe or fitting connection and to join and seal at least two pipes to form a pipeline featuring an improved restraint mechanism. The restraint mechanism includes a circumferential casing and a companion grip ring, both of which are received within a mating groove provided in the belled end of a female pipe. The grip ring is made up of a series of arc-shaped gripping elements which are interconnected by discrete elastomeric segments. The gripping elements are separated by gaps so that a flexible hinge region is created by the elastomeric segments between adjacent gripping elements. The elastomeric segments provide both axial and radial spring action to the assembly.

  • Publication number: 20250111905
    Abstract: A method and system of predicting drug-drug interactions (DDIs) may include receiving: (a) a DDI data structure, representing known DDIs between baseline drugs, (b) a plurality of baseline drug data elements, comprising line-notation descriptions of chemical structure of corresponding baseline drugs, and (c) a substance data element, comprising a line-notation description of a chemical structure of a substance of interest. Embodiments may calculate one or more similarity metric values, representing structural similarity between the substance of interest and specific baseline drugs, and select a subset of the baseline drugs based on the one or more similarity metric values. Embodiments may subsequently predict DDI between the substance of interest and a target baseline drug, based on (i) the selected subset of baseline drugs and (ii) the DDI data structure.
