  • Patent number: 12353483
    Abstract: Systems and methods for identifying token data can include processing blockchain data to determine candidate token data, which can be processed to determine whether the candidate token data is associated with a blockchain trigger event that is associated with a non-fungible token. The systems and methods can process the output action of a blockchain trigger event to determine whether the output action acts similar to the output action of a non-fungible token. The determination may be based on the candidate token data being associated with one or more standards. The identified token data can be indexed and can then be surfaced in response to a search query. The surfaced index data can be provided for display in a search results page.

  • Patent number: 12352117
    Abstract: A power tong assembly has a power tong and a backup for making up and breaking out of threaded tubular connections in tubulars such as drill pipe. The power tong assembly has an overall geometry, including but not limited to a jaw die shape, which reduces contact forces on the tubular, and on the tong body. Preferably, the dies have teeth which are angled to enhance engagement on the tubular. Crush zones or pockets may be provided on the dies, to permit deformation against hard banding on tubulars. In some embodiments, the tong jaws permit mounting the dies in different longitudinal (vertical) positions. In some embodiments, the fixed jaw within the backup has angled sidewalls which accommodate a broader tubular OD range. A cutout in the power tong cage lower plate permits a thicker tong rotary for a given overall tong assembly height.

  • Patent number: 12352507
    Abstract: A heat and mass transfer system configured to be a passive system using gravitational force to form a thin liquid film flow on an outer surface of a flow distribution head and downstream conduit member to subject the thin liquid film to heat transfer mediums. The at least partially spherical flow distribution head creates a uniform thin flow of liquid on the outer surface increasing the efficiency of the heat and mass transfer system. The heat and mass transfer system may include a heat transfer medium supply system in fluid communication with internal aspects of the downstream conduit such that a heat transfer medium flows within the downstream conduit while the liquid film flows on the outer surface of the downstream conduit. Rather than conventional sheet flow on inner surfaces of a conduit, the flow distribution head enables sheet flow to be formed on an outside surface of a component.
