  • Patent number: 12367083
    Abstract: Conventionally, users of integration platforms, or other platforms that utilize many different services, must install, manage, configure, and administer the underlying resources for connectivity with the platforms. Adapter orchestration as a service (AOaaS) simplifies this process by enabling users to quickly and easily deploy an adapter orchestration service comprising instances of selected adapters for multiple services in discrete, autonomous containers that can be spun up and down as needed. The adapters may translate data for all of the services to a common format. Clients may access the data for all of the adapters in the adapter orchestration service via a single application programming interface (API) of the adapter orchestration service, which provides access to the data in the common format.

  • Patent number: 12367208
    Abstract: Typically, in-depth domain knowledge is required to efficiently query a data system. Accordingly, embodiments are disclosed for a no-code method for implementing data operations, such as extract, transform, load (ETL) operations on third-party platforms, such as enterprise resource planning (ERP) platforms. Disclosed embodiments may provide a graphical user interface that enables a user to construct a blueprint of a data operation using drag-and-drop operations on a virtual canvas. The blueprint may be translated into ETL instructions that are deployed on a proxy service for simplified access via a uniform resource locator (URL). When the URL is accessed, the proxy service may execute the ETL instructions to communicate with a domain-specific engine on a third-party platform to obtain the results of the data operation. These results may also be periodically cached according to time-to-live intervals to reduce overall retrieval times.

  • Patent number: 12248528
    Abstract: Currently, changes to third-party software services, such as the deprecation of certain components, must be manually monitored. Accordingly, embodiments are disclosed to automatically monitor changes to such services in a scalable manner. In particular, monitors may be configured to scrape webpages at URLs associated with deprecation or other information about the services, and manage review and resolution of each substantive change. The monitors may be used to facilitate up-to-date adapters for interfacing with the services in an integration platform as a service (iPaaS) platform.

  • Patent number: 10428591
    Abstract: A cutting element for an earth-boring tool includes a substrate and volume of superabrasive material positioned on the substrate. The volume of superabrasive material includes a cutting face having at least one recess extending into the volume of superabrasive material and/or at least one protrusion extending outward from the volume of superabrasive material. The volume of superabrasive material includes a first chamfer surface having a peripheral edge and a radially innermost edge. The peripheral edge of the first chamfer surface is located proximate a cutting edge of the volume of superabrasive material. A radial width of the first chamfer surface is between about 0.002 inch and about 0.045 inch. The volume of superabrasive material also includes a second chamfer surface having a peripheral edge and a radially innermost edge. The peripheral edge of the second chamfer surface is located adjacent the radially innermost edge of the first chamfer surface.

  • Patent number: 9863189
    Abstract: An earth-boring tool includes a cutting element having a first volume of polycrystalline material including catalyst material and a second volume free of catalyst material. A boundary between the first volume and the second volume is nonlinear in a cross-sectional plane that includes a centerline of the cutting element and an anticipated point of contact of the cutting element with the surface of the formation to be cut. Each line tangent the boundary in the cross-sectional plane forms an angle with the centerline of the cutting element greater than the contact back rake angle of the cutting element. In some cutting elements, some portions of the boundary may have another selected shape. Some cutting elements have a boundary wherein tangent lines form angles of greater than 20° with the centerline of the cutting element. Methods of forming wellbores are also disclosed.
