Patent number: 11379332Abstract: Aspects of a data environment, such as the creation, provisioning, and management of data stores and instances, are managed using a separate control environment. A user can call into an externally-facing interface of the control environment, the call being analyzed to determine actions to be performed in the data environment. A monitoring component of the control plane also can periodically communicate with the data environment to determine any necessary actions to be performed, such as to recover from faults or events in the data environment. A workflow can be instantiated that includes tasks necessary to perform the action. For each task, state information can be passed to a component in the data environment operable to perform the task, until all tasks for an action are completed. Data in the data environment can be accessed directly using an externally-facing interface of the data environment, without accessing the control plane.Type: GrantFiled: August 28, 2020Date of Patent: July 5, 2022Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Swaminathan Sivasubramanian, Grant Alexander Macdonald McAlister, Paul David Franklin, Rajesh Sudhakar Sheth, James Horsley

Publication number: 20210373190Abstract: A method is provided for processing resistivity data associated with a formation. The resistivity data relating to the formation proximate to a wellbore is obtained. The resistivity data is divided in to a preconfigured plurality of bins, wherein the resistivity data associated with each bin is measured in the direction or the range of directions corresponding to the bin. A rose diagram is generated for a portion of the resistivity data associated with a measured depth of the wellbore. The rose diagram includes a circle divided into a plurality of sectors, wherein each sector corresponds to a bin. Each sector visually represents the resistivity data relating to the formation in a direction or range of directions from the wellbore corresponding to the bin. The generated rose diagram is rendered for display. The rendered rose diagram displays the resistivity data in a cross-section perpendicular to the wellbore at the corresponding measured depth.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 2, 2020Publication date: December 2, 2021Inventors: Vladimir Yuryevich Kiselev, Jeremy James Combs, David Franklin Anthony, David J.

Patent number: 11064601Abstract: Examples of systems for imploding liquid liner are described. The imploding system comprises a vessel and a rotating member positioned within the vessel. The rotating member has a plurality of shaped blades that form a plurality of curved passages that have an inboard opening at an inner surface and an outboard end at an outer surface. The rotating member is at least partially filled with liquid medium. A driver is used to rotate the rotating member such that when the rotating member rotates the liquid medium is forced into the passages forming a liquid liner with an interface curved with respect to an axis of rotation and defining a cavity. The system further comprises an implosion driver that changes the rotational speed of the rotating member such that the liquid liner is imploded inwardly collapsing the cavity. The imploding liquid liner can be used in plasma compression systems.Type: GrantFiled: April 16, 2018Date of Patent: July 13, 2021Inventors: Joerg Zimmermann, David Franklin Plant, Robert Vlastimil Bouchal, Troy Nickolas Tyler, Victoria Suponitsky, Michael Harcourt Delage, Michel Georges Laberge, Malcolm Newton Williams

Patent number: 10838911Abstract: Techniques and systems for storing and retrieving data storage devices of a data storage system are disclosed. In some embodiments, inventory holders are used to store data storage devices used by a data storage system. When data is to be transacted with the data storage devices, mobile drive units locate appropriate inventory holders and transport them to a device reading station, where an appropriate device retrieval unit transacts the data. After the data has been transacted, the data storage devices are returned to the appropriate inventory holders, and the inventory holders are placed by the mobile drive units in locations where they may be accessed in response to further data transactions.Type: GrantFiled: December 14, 2015Date of Patent: November 17, 2020Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Paul David Franklin, Colin Laird Lazier
