  • Publication number: 20230244859
    Abstract: An apparatus includes a memory and a processor. The memory stores an identification of information and a document associated with an external system. The processor receives information associated with a user, and uses the information to generate a file of a first type. The processor also receives a selection of an option to initiate automatic generation of a file of a second type by the external system. In response, the processor identifies, from the information and based on the identification of the information used by the external system, a subset of information associated with the user. The processor transmits the subset to the external system. The processor additionally presents the document to the user, determines that the user edited the document, and transmits the edited document to the external system. In response to receiving the subset and the edited document, the external system generates the file of the second type.

  • Patent number: 11709118
    Abstract: A testing apparatus for testing a fluid and a loss control material (LCM) is provided. The testing apparatus includes a testing chamber having an upstream end, a downstream end, a device central axis, and a general flow direction. The testing chamber includes a chamber body having an upstream cap, a downstream cap, a first chamber wall, and a second chamber wall. The first chamber wall has a first diameter and in part defines a first chamber interior, the second chamber wall has a second diameter, the first diameter is less than the second diameter, and both the first chamber wall and the second chamber wall are positioned relative to one another such that an annulus is defined in part in between. The traversal of the fluid and the LCM along the fluid flow path is restricted by a flow restriction.

  • Patent number: 11230109
    Abstract: In a continuous ink jet printer for use with pigmented ink, the entrance to the ink path (81), (35) from the interior of the ink tank (27) to the ink pump (31) is made up of a plurality of small inlet openings, which may be provided by nozzles 85 formed in a shroud 83 that fits around an ink filter (33) in the ink tank (27). The openings are provided at the bottom of the ink tank (27), close to the floor, and face parallel to the floor or at least partially towards it. If the ink pump (31) is driven in reverse, any ink in the ink path is driven at speed out through the inlet openings into the interior of the ink tank (27), followed by air. This tends to disperse pigment that may have settled to the bottom on the ink tank (27).

  • Patent number: 11156181
    Abstract: A method of operating a hydrogen-fueled internal combustion engine. The engine is determined to have a mode control value, which represents a threshold torque. During operation of the engine, a demanded torque of the internal combustion engine is determined and compared to the threshold torque. If the demanded torque is less than the threshold torque, the engine is operated in a low load mode that uses spark ignition and pre-mixed combustion. If the demanded torque is greater than the threshold torque, the engine is operated in a high load mode that uses compression ignition and diffusion combustion.
