  • Patent number: 11657092
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure provide for operations for a tree data structure that provides order-based node traversal. For some embodiments, the tree data structure stores one or more key-value pairs, implements at least one linked-list data structure, and enables traversal of nodes within the tree data structure based on a key order (e.g., forward or reverse key order).

  • Patent number: 11549912
    Abstract: An in-line inspection (ILI) tool 20 for use inspecting pipelines includes a plurality of collapsible guide centralizers 100 configured and sized to correspond to the inside diameter of the pipeline being inspected. The guide centralizes 100 include wheels 102 roll along the inside wall of the pipeline being inspected to maintain the guide centralizers “centered” within the pipeline. A collapsible exciter unit centralizer 200 is positioned between collapsible guide centralizers 100 to “center” the exciter unit centralizer relative to the interior of the pipeline. The exciter unit centralizer 200 generates signals in the form of an alternating magnetic field that travel along the wall of the pipeline which in turn generates eddy current signals. The eddy current signals undergo a change if a discontinuity in the pipeline is encountered by the inspection tool 20, which signal change or deviation is detected by a collapsible detector unit centralizer 300 positioned between the collapsible guide centralizers 100.

  • Patent number: 11289086
    Abstract: A system and method for selecting a target device out of a larger group of candidate devices for rendering a response from a virtual assistant to an end-user is disclosed. The system determines that a same trigger phrase included in an utterance has been received by multiple devices that are in proximity to one another at around the same time. These candidate devices can collect attention data, such as user gaze toward a device, to select the device that was most likely the intended recipient of the utterance. The system is configured to control the virtual assistant to render a response solely via the selected device.

  • Patent number: 11236615
    Abstract: A stator assembly, at a compressor mid-plane in a gas turbine engine, to be mounted around a rotor disc, enables access to the rotor disc (e.g., for trim balancing), without requiring disassembly of the stator assembly and/or a compressor case in which the stator assembly is housed, via a removable stator vane. The stator assembly may comprise vane apertures, aligned along a radial axis, that hold the removable stator vane when inserted into the stator assembly, and provide a radial pathway to the rotor disc, when the removable stator vane is removed from the stator assembly. In addition, a case access assembly may seal the removable stator vane in place within a compressor case when engaged, and provide access to the removable stator vane and radial pathway through the compressor case when disengaged. This enables trim balancing of a mid-plane compressor rotor assembly through the stator assembly and compressor case.
