  • Systems and methods for communications node upgrade and selection
    Patent number: 11895515
    Abstract: Implementations described and claimed herein provide systems and methods for identification of connection areas in a telecommunications network. In one implementation, a customer set is obtained for a communications node in the telecommunications network. The customer set includes an existing connection type and a collection of network sites including the connection type is generated from the customer set. An overlay of customer sites without the connection type may be applied to the collection of network sites to generate an intersection of non-connected customer sites within the collection of network sites including the connection type. The intersection provides an indication of underserviced sites connection to the telecommunication network for potential network growth.

  • Systems and methods for viewing incompatible web pages via remote browser instances
    Patent number: 11893199
    Abstract: Embodiments described herein enable a browser to display content of a web page that is incompatible therewith. When such a page is to be traversed, the first browser causes a virtual machine that executes an instance of a second browser with which the page is compatible to be instantiated. The browsers communicate via communication channels utilized to share information therebetween. For instance, the first browser provides a URL of the page to the second browser for traversal thereby. Graphics information corresponding to the page is provided to the first browser. The first browser generates an image corresponding to the page based on the graphics information and renders the image in a tab of the first browser. This enables a visual experience for the user where it appears that the page is being rendered by the first browser when it is in fact being rendered by the second browser.

  • Reaction chamber for supercritical water oxidation reactor
    Patent number: 11890601
    Abstract: Fuel mixed in water is combusted in a reactor having an internal operating pressure and temperature greater than 3200 psi and greater than 374° C., where the combustion of the fuel is exothermic. Air and fuel are pressurized for introduction into the reactor to a pressure greater than the internal operating pressure using energy generated from the combustion of the fuel, and the pressurized air and the pressurized fuel are injected into the reactor. Pressurized water from the reactor is injected into a drive water column that is partially filled with water to increase a pressure of the drive water column, and water at a temperature less than 100° C. is injected into the reactor to replace water from the reactor that is injected into the drive water column. Pressurized water from the drive water column is used to drive a hydroelectric drive system to produce electrical power.
