Patent number: 11914495Abstract: Performance of a collection of machines, arranged in a linear sequence of machines that form a linear communication orbit (LCO), is monitored. Multiple machines in the LCO receive, via the LCO, a set of rules (or various subsets of the same set of rules), each rule specifying one or a combination of conditions (e.g., a performance metric and corresponding criterion) for satisfying the rule, evaluate those rules with respect to locally occurring events and local processes, and store results of those evaluations in a local database. In response to a query sent to the machines via the LCO, each of the machines returns a report, including information identifying processes whose performance during the specified time period satisfies at least one rule in the set of one or more rules. Those reports are aggregated and used to generate a merged report reflecting performance information with respect to a set of machines.Type: GrantFiled: March 20, 2023Date of Patent: February 27, 2024Assignee: TANIUM INC.Inventors: Daniel Varga, Christian L. Hunt, Casey Watson, Trever Shick, Michelle Rezentes, Ryan Catherman, Joshua F. Stoddard

Patent number: 11906076Abstract: A valve body, for use in a valve housing having an inlet and outlet, includes a spherical outer surface. A flow opening extends diametrically from one side of the outer surface to an opposing side. A plurality of flow control passageways extend from the outer surface into the valve body. The valve body is moveable relative to the valve housing between a closed position, a restricted flow position, and a free flow position. In the closed position, the flow opening and all of the plurality of flow control passageways are out of alignment with the inlet and outlet. In the restricted flow position, at least one flow control passageway is moved into fluid communication with the inlet and outlet to facilitate fluid communication therebetween. In the free flow position, the flow opening is moved into fluid communication with the inlet and outlet to facilitate fluid communication therebetween.Type: GrantFiled: April 28, 2022Date of Patent: February 20, 2024Assignee: CONTROL COMPONENTS, INC.Inventors: Stephen Freitas, Ruben Mendoza, Daniel A.

Patent number: 11796101Abstract: A connector having a body with a through-way open at one end. A shoulder in the through-way faces the open end and supports an O-ring. A cap is fitted to an open end of the body and extends from the open end toward the opposite end. The cap is a different color than the body. A gripping ring in the cap has inwardly facing teeth to grip a tube in the through-way to prevent the tube from being pulled out of the open end of the connection during use. A locking ring is fitted over the open end of the body and cap. The locking ring is rotatable between a locked position and an unlocked position. The locking ring has a window that lines up with the body in one of the locked and unlock positions and the cap in the other of the locked and unlocked positions.Type: GrantFiled: April 26, 2019Date of Patent: October 24, 2023Assignee: JOHN GUEST INTERNATIONAL LIMITEDInventors: Daniel Watson, Joshua Smith
