  • Patent number: 11925782
    Abstract: A method for rotatable selection of sites for cannulation of a subcutaneous vascular access vessel comprises the step of providing a template defining an opening for a plurality of zones, each of the plurality of zones configured for receiving a plurality of simultaneous cannulations accessing the vascular access vessel. The outer surface of the template is marked, the marking defining each of the plurality of zones for use as cannulation sites along the vascular access vessel. The template is positioned on the skin of the patient adjacent the subcutaneous vascular access vessel such that the opening aligns with the vascular access vessel, and the marking is used for selecting a first zone for a cannulation site into the vascular access vessel such that the cannulation site in the first zone is spaced from and not adjacent to a second zone used for cannulation immediately previously to the first zone.

  • Patent number: 11927088
    Abstract: A pumping system for pumping a fluid for a wellsite. The pumping system includes a manifold assembly and pumping systems in fluid communication with the manifold header. The manifold assembly includes a manifold header that includes a manifold header body and outlets. The manifold header body includes an inlet to receive the fluid and an interior bore. Each outlet includes an entrance section shaped to have a profile that is approximately the same as a profile of an inner surface of the manifold header body, an outlet port shaped to flow the fluid approximately perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the manifold header body, and a transition section shaped to have a radius of curvature that transitions from the profile of the entrance section to the outlet port and reduces internal erosion of the outlet due to the fluid flowing from the manifold header and through the outlet port.

  • Patent number: 11928221
    Abstract: A system includes a memory and processor. The memory stores code segment vulnerability findings that were generated through static application security testing (SAST). For a first code segment, a first vulnerability finding has been classified as a real vulnerability, and a second vulnerability finding has been classified as a false positive by external review. The processor generates a code fingerprint for each code segment, which corresponds to an abstract syntax tree that has been augmented by data flow information and flattened. The processor determines that the fingerprint for the first code segment matches the fingerprint for a second code segment and that the vulnerability findings for the first code segment match those for the second. In response, the processor automatically classifies a matching first vulnerability finding for the second code segment as the real vulnerability, and a matching second vulnerability finding for the second code segment as the false positive.
