  • Publication number: 20250092780
    Abstract: A method for monitor-centric interpretation of offset pressure monitoring measurements includes simultaneously hydraulic fracturing treatment stages corresponding to treatment wells, measuring corresponding pressure data via pressure gauge(s) at monitor well(s), detecting pressure responses corresponding to fracture hits within the pressure data, and determining a reasonable velocity window for when a fracture originating from each treatment stage is likely to affect the pressure data. The method includes detecting treatment stage(s) that are likely to be the origin of each fracture hit based on the reasonable velocity window and, for each fracture hit that only has one likely originating treatment stage, assigning the detected fracture hit to such treatment stage.

  • Patent number: 12246669
    Abstract: Technologies and techniques for combating drowsiness of a driver of a motor vehicle. A calculation rule is used in which a fatigue progression curve, that represents a fatigue development of the driver over time, can be generated based on a parameter set, and specific values for the parameter set are determined for a route ahead. The fatigue progression curve for the route ahead may be determined via the calculation rule using the determined values for the parameter set, and the fatigue progression curve is analyzed. A countermeasure may be initiated depending on a result of the analysis, in which countermeasure at least one value of a variable parameter of the parameter set is specifically changed.

  • Publication number: 20250038453
    Abstract: A modular element for assembly with a further modular element to form a plug-in connector module is suitable for arrangement in an accurately oriented manner at a plug-in location of the plug-in connector module. The plug-in location has a coding of the arrangement of the plug-in connector module in a first direction and a plug-in direction of the modular element; and the modular element has a coding which corresponds to the coding of the plug-in location. The modular element has a further coding which corresponds to the coding of the modular element in such a way that it is ensured that an assembled plug-in connector module, which is unsuitable for the plug-in location, without the coding and a correspondingly faulty attempt when assembling two modular elements are precluded.

  • Patent number: 12026533
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for enhancing parameter-less exit-calls from a command line interface (CLI). An embodiment operates by obtaining a parameter and a name for a task script, and then generating a shell script including the name of the task script and an instruction to execute the task script based on the parameter. Then, an execution request for a task including an exit-call is sent to the CLI. The execution request includes a name of the shell script for the exit-call. The CLI calls the shell script in response to the exit-call during execution of the task. Further, the task script is executed based on the parameter in response to the CLI calling the shell script.

  • Patent number: 11714898
    Abstract: Embodiments provide automated security scanning of incoming images for use in creating containers such as a Virtual Machines. Based upon attribute(s) of metadata of the incoming image, a security engine chooses from amongst stored scripts for mounting and execution by installation logic. Such scripts can relate to the scanning itself, and/or pre-scanning considerations (such as scan frequency). In one example, the meta data attribute identifies a relevant Operating System (OS) of the incoming image. Other meta data attributes such as •scan frequency, •most recent passed scan, •log information, and •contact information (for issuance of a possible alert), may also be considered as part of the processing of an incoming image. Embodiments may enhance security by avoiding introduction of vulnerabilities through image instantiation. Embodiments may also impart flexibility to conserve resources by selectively scanning according to a frequency and/or date of last successful passage of the image.
