  • Patent number: 11976544
    Abstract: A system can determine an accurate technical limit for a wellbore drilling operation using machine learning. A computing device can receive real-time data of the wellbore drilling operation; apply a machine-learning algorithm to the real-time data to determine a lost connection of the wellbore drilling operation; apply the machine-learning algorithm to determine correlations between the real-time data and historic drilling reports; and determine the technical limit for the wellbore drilling operation based on the correlations.

  • Patent number: 11979500
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a vaultless format-preserving tokenization system and method that securely converts sensitive data into a non-sensitive format while maintaining the original structure. The process includes encoding the original data, generating a secure modification based on a predetermined format by encoding another input and combining it with a unique hashing key, applying a special encryption technique that incorporates the encoded data, secure modification, and a unique encryption key to produce an encoded version of the data, and finally creating a token from the encoded data to be used in place of the original sensitive information.

  • Patent number: 11976523
    Abstract: The trip system closely monitors and ensures that the hydrostatic pressure of the wellbore stays consistent throughout the tripping process, stripping process, and axial pipe operations. The core components of the system include, but are not limited to, an advanced automation system that controls a back-pressure device, including but not limited to a choke, a rotary ball valve, or other flow control devices. The automation system also monitors upstream and downstream flow measurement components. The trip system also provides a pump system to circulate drilling fluid from the trip tank across the top of the wellhead and/or at a lower portion below the RCD.

  • Patent number: 11978020
    Abstract: The technology described herein visibly depicts hidden message traits to help users determine whether an email is genuine or deceptive. The hidden message traits are revealed by identifying and changing attributes that keep the hidden traits from being displayed in a rendered message. Spam messages, phishing messages, and messages that include or link to malicious programs (e.g., malware, ransomware) are examples of unwanted messages that can harm a recipient. These messages often rely on deception to get past email filtering systems and to trick a user into acting on content in a message. The deception often involves including hidden traits in a message that fool an automated filtering system. The technology described herein shows the visible traits to a user by including them in the rendered version of the message.

  • Patent number: 11973169
    Abstract: An optical isolation material may be applied to walls of a first cavity and a second cavity in a wafer mesh. A wavelength converting layer may be deposited into the first cavity to create a first segment and into the second cavity to create a second segment. The first segment may be attached to a first light emitting device to create a first pixel and the second segment to a second light emitting device to create a second pixel. The wafer mesh may be removed.

  • Patent number: 11973775
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed to implement a network data interpretation pipeline to recognize machine operations (MOs) and machine activities (MAs) from network traffic data observed in a monitored network. In embodiments, a MO recognition engine is implemented in the network to recognize MOs from network sensor events (NSEs) based on defined recognition patterns. The MOs and any unrecognized NSEs are uploaded to a network monitoring system, where they are further analyzed by a MA recognition engine to recognize higher-level machine activities performed by machines. The NSEs, MOs, and MAs are used by the network monitoring system to implement a variety of security threat detection processes. Advantageously, the pipeline may be used to add rich contextual information about the raw network data to facilitate security threat detection processes.

  • Patent number: 11969092
    Abstract: An adjustable shelf support includes a fastener, a stationary support, and a slidable support. The stationary support includes a first body, a first aperture formed through the first body, and a first plurality of ledges that protrude outward away from the first body. The slidable support includes a second body, a second aperture formed through the second body, and a second plurality of ledges that protrude outward away from the second body. A ledge of the second plurality of ledges is positioned on a ledge of the first plurality of ledges. The fastener is inserted through the second aperture and the first aperture to further mount the slidable support to the stationary support.

  • Patent number: 11971992
    Abstract: Systems and methods for failure characterization of secure programmable logic devices (PLDs) are disclosed. An example system includes a secure PLD including programmable logic blocks (PLBs) arranged in PLD fabric of the secure PLD, and a configuration engine configured to program the PLD fabric according to a configuration image stored in non-volatile memory (NVM) of the secure PLD and/or coupled through a configuration input/output (I/O) of the secure PLD. The secure PLD is configured to receive a failure characterization (FC) command from the PLD fabric or an external system coupled to the secure PLD through the configuration I/O, and to execute the FC command to, at least in part, erase and/or nullify portions of the NVM. The secure PLD may also be configured to boot a debug configuration for the PLD fabric that identifies and/or characterizes operational failures of the secure PLD.
