Abstract: A ratiometric system for autonomous lubrication of oilwell production equipment. In one arrangement a lubrication pump is fluidly connected to a stuffing box on an oilwell pumping unit. The interval for lubrication and the duration of lubrication is managed by an event sequencer that is electrically connected to the well controller for the pumping unit. The well controller senses a completed cycle of the pumping unit and produces an electronic pulse that can be counted. The event sequencer counts the pulses as they occur. A lubrication cycle is triggered when the sequencer reaches a count corresponding to a predetermined value. The amount of lubrication supplied is directly related to the number of completed cycles of the pumping unit.

Abstract: In some implementations, a remediation device may receive, from a database that stores information regarding security vulnerabilities, security vulnerability indicators associated with one or more cloud-based applications. The remediation device may cluster, using at least one machine learning model, the security vulnerability indicators into classes, and may determine, for each class, a corresponding remediation recommendation. The remediation device may transmit, based on a setting, a corresponding message for each class. The remediation device may receive input associated with at least one of the corresponding messages, and may trigger, for at least one of the classes of security vulnerability indicators and based on the input, an automated remediation script based on a corresponding one of the remediation recommendations. The automated remediation script causes a cloud environment to perform an action for a cloud-based application associated with the security vulnerability indicators in the class(es).
Abstract: In one example, a method of designing a drill bit comprises obtaining a baseline orientation of a shaped cutter with respect to a bit body. The shaped cutter includes a shaped cutting element secured to a substrate. The baseline orientation is defined, at least in part, with respect to an rotational position of the shaped cutting element about a longitudinal axis of the shaped cutter. A wear imbalance is determined between opposing portions of the shaped cutting element at the baseline orientation. An adjusted orientation of the shaped cutter is generated having a different rotational position of the shaped cutting element about the cutter axis expected to reduce the wear imbalance.

Abstract: A system for modeling a roof of a structure comprising a first database, a second database and a processor in communication with the first database and the second database. The processor selects one or more images and the respective metadata thereof from the first database based on a received a geospatial region of interest. The processor generates two-dimensional line segment geometries in pixel space based on two-dimensional outputs generated by a neural network in pixel space of at least one roof structure present in the selected one or more images. The processor classifies the generated two-dimensional line segment geometries into at least one contour graph based on three-dimensional data received from the second database and generates a three-dimensional representation of the at least one roof structure based on the at least one contour graph and the received three-dimensional data.
Abstract: Systems and methods for a novel architecture to support always-on applications and/or models suffering drift in their results. The system may comprise one or more servers that are configured to track the historical behavior of incoming request data for a model and/or redirect the request as needed using parallel data domains. The one or more servers may maintain and update a catalog of potential data domains that partitions the historically received data. One partition may comprise data output from a current model. Another partition may comprise detected outliers in the data. In the case of drift, outliers, and/or anomalies in the incoming data, the system may return an error signal that causes data to be duplicated into a new data domain.
Abstract: In some embodiments, validation of a network operation based on screenshot-derived uniform resource locator (URL) data may be facilitated.

In some embodiments, the first user activity data may comprise first URL data and first timestamps associated with the first URL data. After the storage of the first user activity data, a first action request for a first action involving use of the first token may be obtained. A validation process may be performed on the first action by performing a first query of the database for user activity data based on the first action request.
Abstract: A method includes receiving a first encrypted first identity attribute. A first doubly encrypted first identity attribute is formed by encrypting the first encrypted first identity attribute. A second doubly encrypted first identity attribute is formed by encrypting the first encrypted first identity attribute. They are transmitted to a user device, which removes a user layer of encryption on each to form a second encrypted first identity attribute and a third encrypted first identity attribute. Layers of encryption are added to the second encrypted first identity attribute to form a third doubly encrypted first identity attribute and the third encrypted first identity attribute to form a fourth doubly encrypted first identity attribute. The server computer receives them and transmits, to the second identity provider computer, the fourth doubly encrypted first identity attribute. The second identity provider computer obtains a first identity attribute and compares it to a second identity attribute.

Abstract: Methods and systems are described herein for generating group definition sequences for accounts (e.g., user accounts) using action sequence processing and then classifying accounts using those group definition sequences. A plurality of user account actions and corresponding time that each action was taken may be received and based on that information, a sequence of action types sometimes referred to as a time-ordered dataset of action types (e.g., based on a chronological order of the actions) may be generated. The time-ordered dataset of action types may be compared with known time-ordered sequences for a particular user group or user classification. If the time-ordered dataset of action types matches the time-ordered sequences of the particular user group, the user may be classified into that user group.
