  • Publication number: 20250227040
    Abstract: This disclosure describes systems, methods, and devices related to estimating a provisioning of resources in a telecommunications network. A method may include receiving, at a first time, a user request for a service facilitated by a telecommunications network; identifying, based on the service, a device or port to which the user connects to access the telecommunications network; retrieving, using discovery commands, information from one or more additional devices in the telecommunications network; identifying, based on the information, a second device to which the device or port may connect to generate a path to an endpoint of the telecommunications network; identifying, based on the device or port and the second device, a path from the location of the user to the endpoint in the telecommunications network; generating an estimated time to provision the service using the path; and presenting, at the first time, the estimated time to provision the service.

  • Patent number: 10501383
    Abstract: An improved nitrification inhibitor composition comprising UFP particles and a nitrification inhibitor, and optionally other components, is used as an additive for liquid and solid fertilizers, typically containing urea. The nitrification inhibitor particularly can be nitrapyrin and/or DMPP. Methods of making the compositions and their use are also disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20190101109
    Abstract: A valve stop is provided for a valve assembly of a pump. The valve stop includes a tripod having a hub and three legs extending radially outward from the hub to end portions of the legs. The tripod is configured to be operatively connected to a valve body of the valve assembly to limit travel of the valve body. The end portions of the legs are configured to engage a wall of a fluid passage of the pump. A locator extends outward from the tripod to a handle of the locator. The handle of the locator is configured to engage an internal portion of the pump.

  • Publication number: 20180044254
    Abstract: This invention relates to a urea granule with a nitrogen stabilizer and carrier system substantially homogenously dispersed throughout the granule thickness. Several methods are disclosed to make the urea granule, including prilling, fluidized bed, and drum granulation. The carrier system can comprise any solvent system that is both: (1) stable at urea melt temperatures of ˜120° C.; (2) able to solvate the nitrogen stabilizer system; and (3) miscible in molten urea. Such carrier systems can be blends of NMP and a glycol (e.g. propylene glycol). The nitrogen stabilizer can include a urease inhibitor, such as NBPT, where the NBPT purity can be between 90 and 99%. The nitrogen stabilizer can also include a nitrification inhibitor, such as DCD.

  • Publication number: 20180016200
    Abstract: This invention relates to an improved urea-nitrogen stabilizer composition and methods, systems and apparatti for making thereof. The nitrogen stabilizer composition is incorporated into molten urea to result in a composition that contains less biuret, NMP, nitrogen stabilizer and/or impurities and provides an effective solid fertilizer. These compositions are useful in in odor control.
