Abstract: Described herein is a system for identifying controls not aligned with updated compliance data. The system may scrub external data sources for updated compliance data. The system may detect and extract the updated compliance data from the external data sources. The system may identify and correlate controls of compliance applications currently using compliance data which has now been updated. The system determines whether a control exists to cover the updated compliance data. In the event, a control does not exist or an existing control does not cover the updated compliance data, a requirement may be generated for generating a new control or modifying an existing control for the updated compliance data.

Abstract: Data base performance is improved using write-behind optimization of covering cache. Non-volatile memory data cache includes a full copy of stored data file(s). Data cache and storage writes, checkpoints, and recovery may be decoupled (e.g., with separate writes, checkpoints and recoveries). A covering data cache supports improved performance by supporting database operation during storage delays or outages and/or by supporting reduced I/O operations using aggregate writes of contiguous data pages (e.g., clean and dirty pages) to stored data file(s). Aggregate writes reduce data file fragmentation and reduce the cost of snapshots. Performing write-behind operations in a background process with optimistic concurrency control may support improved database performance, for example, by not interfering with write operations to data cache. Data cache may store (e.g., in metadata) data cache checkpoint information and storage checkpoint information. A stored data file may store storage checkpoint information (e.g.

Abstract: Systems and generating power in an organic Rankine cycle (ORC) operation to supply electrical power. In embodiments, an inlet temperature of a flow of gas from a source to an ORC unit may be determined. The source may connect to a main pipeline. The main pipeline may connect to a supply pipeline. The supply pipeline may connect to the ORC unit thereby to allow gas to flow from the source to the ORC unit. Heat from the flow of gas may cause the ORC unit to generate electrical power. The outlet temperature of the flow of the gas from the ORC unit to a return pipe may be determined. A bypass valve, positioned on a bypass pipeline connecting the supply pipeline to the return pipeline, may be adjusted to a position sufficient to maintain temperature of the flow of gas above a threshold based on the inlet and outlet temperature.

Abstract: A method for disposing of biomass waste. The method includes locating an abandoned mine having a first well drilled into or through the abandoned mine. Water is removed from a mine cavity through a second well drilled into or through the abandoned mine. The water from the mine is combined with a biomass waste that is at least 70 wt. % carbon to provide biomass waste entrained in the water. The biomass waste entrained in the water is pumped through the first well into the mine cavity to fill the mine cavity. As the biomass waste settles in the mine cavity, the water used to entrain the biomass waste is recirculated to combine with additional biomass waste.

The energy absorption system is spherically coupled to the seat base and spherically coupled to the seat back, and includes a dampening member and a support assembly. The dampening member is movable relative to the support assembly responsive to a load applied on the seat back such that engagement between the support assembly and the dampening member dampens the load.

Abstract: The present invention provides a way to increase the density of Hall effect sensors on a MFL inline inspection tool mounting the sensors on a first circuit board which overlies a second circuit board. Op amps for the sensors which condition and filter the analog signal from the sensors are mounted on the first circuit board. Microprocessors mounted on the second circuit board receive the analog signal from the op amp and translate it into a digital signal. Use of the stacked circuit boards doubles the amount of area to mount the sensors and their op amps and microprocessors while maintaining the same footprint. This results in being able to increase the number of Hall effect sensors in that footprint area. In other embodiments the number of layers of circuit boards may be increased beyond two.

Abstract: Scaling of an ordered event stream (OES) based on a characteristic of one or more writer groups is disclosed. Scaling a portion of an OES contemporaneous to writing events into that portion can conserve computing resources in contrast to more conventional scaling techniques. Moreover, scaling an OES contemporaneously with writing events thereto can enable improved management of OES scaling for applications that can both read events from an input portion of an OES and, via interim events and interim portions of an OES, write events to an output portion of an OES. An application instance can therefore simultaneously act as both a reader group and writer group and can manage data via interim OESs, such that effects of passing the data through the interim OESs can be cascaded into a scaling of the output portion of an OES based on the writer group characteristic.
