  • Publication number: 20240386026
    Abstract: The present patent application discloses a data analytics system with a split plane architecture that utilizes a workflow management module in a control plane for cloud-based computing. The system receives workflow files from client devices and stores those workflow files in a cloud storage associated with the user. The data plane, which executes the workflow file, retrieves the file directly from the cloud storage or through an API provided by the workflow management module. A workflow engine wrapper, containing a stager system and an execution system, prepares workflow files for execution and stores generated results in the cloud storage.

  • Patent number: 11795416
    Abstract: A method for controlling rheology of a unit dose liquid detergent composition includes providing a detergent composition containing less than 20% water, a detergent surfactant, and a rheology modification system comprising iminodisuccinic acid (IDS), ethanol, and polyethylene glycol having a molecular weight of 200 to 1,000 Daltons; and encapsulating the detergent composition in a pouch made of a water soluble film. The viscosity of a mixture of 2 parts of a low water detergent composition to 1 part water can be maintained below 1,000 cp at 1.08 reciprocal seconds where the detergent composition includes about 1% to about 10% by weight of a mixture of IDS, ethanol, and polyethylene glycol having a molecular weight of 200 to 1,000 Daltons.

  • Patent number: 11629804
    Abstract: A clamp with two segments and a process for applying a first clamp segment to a pair of flanges for adjacent fluid flow elements so that the first clamp segment is retained by the pair of flanges after application. Steps including 1) aligning a first flange with a second flange to form the pair of flanges; and 2) elastically deforming the first clamp segment to capture into the first clamp segment an arc of more than 180 degrees of the pair of flanges with the arc being sufficiently more than 180 degrees that after capture of the pair of flanges that the first clamp segment cannot be disengaged from the pair of flanges without application of sufficient force to elastically deform the first clamp segment to expand sufficiently to allow removal of the pair of flanges. Otherwise the first clamp segment is retained.

  • Patent number: 11535819
    Abstract: A unit dose detergent pack is disclosed. The unit dose detergent pack includes a pouch formed from a water-soluble film and a liquid detergent composition releasably disposed within the pouch. The liquid detergent composition includes an alkanolamine, an acid, a copolymer formed from first and second monomers with the first monomer being diallyldimethylammonium chloride (DADMAC), and an alkali metal sulfite or bisulfite. The copolymer and the alkali metal sulfite or bisulfite interact with at least one of the alkanolamine and the acid to reduce discoloration of the liquid detergent composition.

  • Patent number: 11201690
    Abstract: A test instrument or host device can apply inverse transmitter and receiver functions to data transmitted or received by an electrical and optical transponder. The inverse transmitter and receiver functions are applied to counteract internal signal conversion processes of the transponder. Forward error correction and test pattern analysis may be performed on signals received from the transponder after the inverse receiver function is applied to the received signals.
