  • Patent number: 11761339
    Abstract: A turbine blade includes a root arranged to attach the turbine blade to a rotor and a vane extending in a radial direction from the root to a tip surface. The vane includes a leading edge, a trailing edge, a pressure-side surface, and a suction-side surface that cooperate to define a vane perimeter. A perimeter wall extends radially from the tip surface and surrounds a portion of the vane perimeter. A first trench wall extends across the tip surface and cooperates with the perimeter wall to substantially enclose a pressure-side pocket and a second trench wall extends across the tip surface and cooperates with the perimeter wall to substantially enclose a suction-side pocket.

  • Publication number: 20230210457
    Abstract: A method for estimating a metabolic rate of a user includes obtaining pulse oximetry data for the user for a period of time. The method includes determining a rate of decline in oxygen saturation of blood of the user that is associated with a breathing rate of the user for the period of time based, at least in part, on the pulse oximetry data. The method includes estimating the metabolic rate of the user for the period of time based, at least in part, on the rate of decline in the oxygen saturation of the blood that is associated with the breathing rate of the user. The method includes providing a notification indicative of the metabolic rate for the period of time.

  • Publication number: 20230165634
    Abstract: Systems, devices, and methods for transvascular ablation of target tissue. The devices and methods may, in some examples, be used for splanchnic nerve ablation to increase splanchnic venous blood capacitance to treat at least one of heart failure and hypertension. For example, the devices disclosed herein may be advanced endovascularly to a target vessel in the region of a thoracic splanchnic nerve (TSN), such as a greater splanchnic nerve (GSN) or a TSN nerve root. Also disclosed are methods of treating heart failure, such as HFpEF, by endovascularly ablating a thoracic splanchnic nerve to increase venous capacitance and reduce pulmonary blood pressure.

  • Patent number: 11657146
    Abstract: An illustrative method includes a data protection system determining a first compressibility metric associated with write traffic processed by a storage system, the first compressibility metric indicating an amount of storage space saved if the write traffic is compressed; determining a second compressibility metric associated with read traffic processed by a storage system, the second compressibility metric indicating an amount of storage space saved if the read traffic is compressed; determining, based on a comparison of the first compressibility metric with the second compressibility metric, that the write traffic is less compressible than the read traffic; determining, based on the write traffic being less compressible than the read traffic, that the storage system is possibly being targeted by a security threat; and performing, based on the determining that the storage system is possibly being targeted by the security threat, a remedial action with respect to the storage system.

  • Patent number: 11659004
    Abstract: Computing resource service providers may provide computing resources to customers in a multi-tenant environment. These computing resources may be behind a firewall or other security device such that certain information does not reach the computing resources provided to the customer. A logging entity may be implemented on computer server operated by the computing resource service provider. The logging entity may obtain log information from the firewall or other security device and store the log information such that it is accessible to the customer. Additionally, the log information may be provided to other services such as a metrics service or intrusion detection service.
