  • Patent number: 11429574
    Abstract: Disclosed embodiments provide a computer-implemented technique for creating a log chain from multiple software component logs. The log chain can include log information from multiple software components that interact with each other. In embodiments, a locality-sensitive hashing technique is used to create a signature of a log chain. Machine-learning systems are trained with log chains generated from test execution, and/or log chains from incidents with deployed software. In embodiments, logs are pre-processed by tokenizing and trimming. Logs from various components that interact with each other may be combined into a temporally sequential log chain. The signature of the log chain may be used to identify additional information about the error from a machine-learning process that was trained on previously generated log chains. In this way, the time required to identify a problem can be significantly reduced, resulting in increased reliability and availability of complex computer systems.

  • Publication number: 20210171422
    Abstract: Methods and corresponding catalysts are provided for transalkylation of 1-ring (C9+) aromatic compounds, such as transalkylation to form para-xylene and/or other xylenes. Suitable catalysts include molecular sieves having a 3-D 12-member ring framework structure, molecular sieves having a 1-D 12-member ring framework structure, acidic microporous materials with a pore channel size of at least 6.0 Angstroms, and/or molecular sieves having a MWW framework structure. The methods include performing transalkylation where at least a portion of the feed to the transalkylation process is in the liquid phase. Optionally, the transalkylation conditions can correspond to conditions where a continuous liquid phase is present within the reaction environment. Some embodiments include liquid phase transalkylation processes for naphthalene-containing feedstock streams.

  • Publication number: 20190359899
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for hydroconversion of a heavy oil feed under slurry hydroprocessing conditions and/or solvent assisted hydroprocessing conditions. The systems and methods for slurry hydroconversion can include the use of a configuration that can allow for improved separation of catalyst particles from the slurry hydroprocessing effluent. In addition to allowing for improved catalyst recycle, an amount of fines in the slurry hydroconversion effluent can be reduced or minimized. This can facilitate further processing or handling of any “pitch” generated during the slurry hydroconversion. The systems and methods for solvent assisted hydroprocessing can include processing of a heavy oil feed in conjunction with a high solvency dispersive power crude.
