  • Patent number: 11268507
    Abstract: A method of assembling a fluid end includes inserting a valve through a bore of a housing of the fluid end and into an interior volume of the fluid end, inserting a valve cover into the bore such that the valve cover seals the bore, and coupling a lock cover to the housing, the lock cover positioned over the bore to prevent removal of the valve cover from the bore. When the lock cover is coupled to the housing, the lock cover does not apply a preload against the valve cover.

  • Patent number: 11272251
    Abstract: A system and method are presented for sharing an audio-visual stream from a server system with a plurality of participant computer systems and for the automated generation of portions. Each participant computer system provides audio and visual data which is converted into the audio-visual stream by the server system. The server system then shares the audio-visual stream with the participant computer systems. During the audio-visual stream, a participant computer can request a portion at a time T. The server will automatically generate a portion audio-visual file using audio and visual data from the stream extending from before time T to after time T. After creation of the portion, the participant computer can modify the timing of the portion and can modify the visual presentation of the portion.

  • Patent number: 11272330
    Abstract: Methods and systems are described herein for identifying a location of a user prior to sending a notification and/or tailoring notification delivery and/or receipts to a determined location of the user. In many contexts, the delivery or receipt time of these notifications is important. For example, the message may include time-sensitive information or may have been targeted based on delivering (or being received at) an optimal time. The system may determine a time zone identifier by recording a user's default or home location based on known account data and establishing a transaction data stream for identifying transactions that are outside of a radius of the default location. Upon detecting transactions outside the default location, the system may update an account of the user with a temporary location. The system may then determine a delay based on this temporary location.

  • Patent number: 11267308
    Abstract: Independent wheel suspensions for a motor vehicle are described herein. An example independent wheel suspension includes a link to be pivotably coupled to a vehicle body of the motor vehicle via a first flexible pivot bearing and a second flexible pivot bearing. The first and second flexible pivot bearings form a pivoting axis. The link has a wheel attachment point to which a vehicle wheel is to be coupled. The example independent wheel suspension also includes a spring to be disposed between the link and the vehicle body. The spring is configured to produce a force component on the link that is directed outward along a transverse axis of the motor vehicle and that increases during compression.

  • Patent number: 11271637
    Abstract: An example embodiment may involve flying, by an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), to a geographical location, where a wireless router is at the geographical location. The example embodiment may also involve detecting, by the UAV, a wireless coverage area defined by the wireless router. The example embodiment may also involve accessing, by the UAV, the wireless coverage area using a network identifier and a password. The example embodiment may also involve establishing, by the UAV, a backhaul link to a data network. The example embodiment may also involve transmitting, by the UAV, a notification to a client device served by the wireless coverage area, where the notification indicates that the UAV is a default gateway for the wireless coverage area. The example embodiment may also involve exchanging, by the UAV, data transmissions between (i) the client device, and (ii) one or more other devices accessible via the data network.

  • Patent number: 11267401
    Abstract: An autonomous vehicle including a communication system in communication with a computing system. The computing system runs computer-executable instructions that may examine a profile of a passenger. The computer-executable instructions may include detecting a safe opportunity for the passenger to exit the autonomous vehicle. In response to detecting the safe opportunity, and if the profile of the passenger requests so, the autonomous vehicle may cause a speaker on the autonomous vehicle to audibly notify and guide the passenger to exit the autonomous vehicle safely during the safe opportunity.

  • Patent number: 11269927
    Abstract: A transactional replicator applying group commit and barrier concepts is disclosed. Group commit means that the transactional replicator commits multiple transactions in a group and is not restricted to committing single transactions one-at-a-time and is not limited to operating on a single state provider. Barrier means that the transactional replicator does not move forward to commit additional transactions until the previous group of transactions are completed. All state providers must apply their transactions and update state before additional transactions will be committed. A quorum acknowledgement “unlocks” any locks that were acquired to update the state within a state provider. However, as long as there are no lock conflicts, additional transactions can continue to create new group commits as necessary.

  • Patent number: 11270281
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems and method for securely entering a confidential access code into a user device. A system for allowing secure entry of a confidential access code into a user device may include one or more memories storing instructions and one or more processors configured to execute instruction to perform operations. The operations may include receiving a request for confidential access, prompting the user, via the user interface, to enter a group of inputs into a single-entry field, receiving a dummy sequence of inputs, receiving or providing an indicator signal, receiving an access sequence of inputs, parsing the group of inputs received to identify the access sequence of inputs based on the location of the indicator signal, comparing the access sequence of inputs to the confidential access code associated with the user, and granting or denying access to the confidential information based on the results.

  • Patent number: 11266912
    Abstract: Disruptive behavior events are identified within an online gaming system. Players responsible for the identified disruptive behavior events are verified. A behavioral designation is applied to players in the online gaming system. The behavioral designation indicates whether or not a player is verified as responsible for one or more of the identified disruptive behavior events. Current real-time player behavior demographic data is generated for a specified game space using the behavioral designations applied to players associated with the specified game space. The generated current real-time player behavior demographic data for the specified game space is displayed to players associated with the specified game space. Using current real-time player behavior demographic data generated and displayed for different game spaces, a player is enabled to make a behavior-informed selection of a game space in which to enter for game play.

  • Patent number: 11272554
    Abstract: A mobile edge computing (MEC) architecture can facilitate utilization of virtual multi-point non-internet protocol (IP) connections in radio access networks (RAN). Thus, the same mobile device can be addressed with multiple radio access technologies (RATs). The MEC can provide service continuity in multi-access technologies using virtual session, and the MEC can terminate a main session between a core network and the MEC, for the mobile device, via a single IP address, Based on the services and the states of the access network in the multi-access environment, the MEC can dynamically select the RAT and access point as the target to deliver the service over the RAN.
