  • Patent number: 12129941
    Abstract: A coupling for joining pipe elements end to end has a unitary band surrounding a central space for receiving the pipe elements. Ends of the band are in facing relation. Adjustable connection members are positioned at each end of the band for drawing the ends toward each other and deforming the band. Arcuate ribs are positioned lengthwise along opposite sides of the band. The ribs are separated from one another by gaps between the ribs. In their undeformed state, each rib has an arcuate surface with a radius of curvature equal to the radius of curvature of the outer surface of the pipe elements which they engage. When the band is deformed the ribs clamp against the outer surface of the pipe elements to effect the joint.

  • Patent number: 12131200
    Abstract: Processing may be performed in accordance with a policy to assign roles of winner and loser between two nodes. The roles may be used in connection with deadlock resolution processing. A deadlock or potential deadlock may be detected between the two nodes performing processing for two transactions In response to detecting the deadlock or potential deadlock, using a current state may be used to determine whether to perform the deadlock resolution processing to resolve the deadlock or potential deadlock. The current state may indicate whether assignment of the winner and loser roles between the two nodes is in progress. Responsive to the current state indicating that processing is not in progress to assign roles of winner and loser between the two nodes, the current state may be used perform deadlock resolution processing to resolve the deadlock or potential deadlock. The current state may denote which node is the current winner.

  • Patent number: 12131543
    Abstract: A semantic-based method and apparatus for retrieving a perspective image, an electronic device and a computer-readable storage medium are provided. An method includes obtaining a perspective image for a space containing an inspected object therein. A semantic division on the perspective image is performed using a first method, to obtain a plurality of semantic region units. A feature extraction network is constructed using a second method. Based on the perspective image and each of the plurality of semantic region units, a feature of each semantic region unit is extracted using the feature extraction network. Based on the feature of each semantic region unit, an image most similar to the semantic region unit is retrieved from an image feature database, to assist in determining an inspected object in the semantic region unit.
