Abstract: The present invention addresses to a system and methodology for evaluating the deposition in tubes of the furnaces of delayed coking unit (DCU) in order to reduce the costs involved with premature shutdowns. With this system, load rankings are obtained, influences of certain loads on processing are evaluated, and additives that reduce deposition are further evaluated. Consequently, the results obtained by such a system allow greater flexibility for the follow-up engineer to optimize his delayed coking unit in order to increase load or increase the unit campaign time, drastically reducing costs in premature shutdowns, or increasing its return by increasing load and shutdowns, since the load is limited by the degree of deposit formation, and that directly affects the wall temperature.

Abstract: The disclosure herein describes securing access to a service resource within a security boundary. A security gateway instance receives a request from an edge deployment outside the security boundary. The request includes identity data identifying the edge deployment. The identity data is validated based on allowed identity data of the security gateway instance and based on a validation handler associated with the service resource. Based on validating the identity data and validating the request, the identity data is transformed using security data specific to the security gateway instance. The transformed identity data indicates the request has been validated by the security gateway instance. Based on transforming the identity data of the request, the transformed identity data and the request are forwarded to the service resource via a network link within the security boundary, wherein the service resource is configured to process the request based on identifying the transformed identity data.

Abstract: An integrated circuit includes a primary memory array with cells switchable between first and second states. The circuit also includes sacrificial memory cells; each fabricated to be switchable between the first and second states and associated with at least one row of the primary array. A controller is configured to detect a write operation to a row of the primary array, stress a sacrificial cell associated with the row and detect a failure of the associated sacrificial cell. The sacrificial cells are fabricated to have lower write-cycle endurance than cells of the primary array or are subjected to more stress. Failure of a row of the primary array is predicted based, at least in part, on a detected failure of the associated sacrificial cell.
