  • Determining IoT device compatibility with deployments
    Patent number: 11671325
    Abstract: A provider network implements a service for receiving a request for a deployment from an IoT device and determining whether the IoT device is compatible with a deployment. The service may determine a configuration of the IoT device based on configuration information included in the request for the deployment. The service may then determine whether the configuration of the connected device satisfies configuration requirements for one or more components (e.g., functions) required for the deployment. In some cases, a particular version of a plurality of versions of a function may be compatible with the connected device. If the service determines that the IoT device is compatible with all of the components that are required for the deployment, then the service may generate a package that includes all of the components. The service may then deploy the package to the IoT device.

  • Detection of wellbore faults based on surface pressure of fluids pumped into the wellbore
    Patent number: 11668168
    Abstract: A system is provided including at least one pump for pumping a fluid into a wellbore, a pressure sensor provided at a wellhead of the wellbore for measuring a backpressure of the fluid being pumped into the wellbore, and a diagnostic manager. The diagnostic manager obtains pressure data associated with a pressure signal from the pressure sensor, wherein the pressure data includes pressure measurements of the fluid over a selected time period. The diagnostic manager converts, based on the pressure data, at least a portion of the pressure signal into frequency domain. The diagnostic manager detects a change in frequency of the pressure signal in the Fourier spectrum and determines that a fault associated with the wellbore has occurred based on the changed frequency of the pressure signal.
