Publication number: 20190368946Abstract: A method for the monitoring and control of the operating conditions of a fiber web machine or paper finishing machine, where the monitoring and control are performed on a rotatable machine element (41) equipped with a sensor assembly (24) that measures temperature, and generates a measurement signal (25), and a cross-directional temperature profile (21) of the machine element is generated from the measurement signal. One or more reference profiles (35) are generated for the cross-directional temperature profile of the machine element. The cross-directional temperature profile of the machine element generated from the measurement signal and at least one reference profile generated for it are compared to find a change concerning the operating conditions of the fiber web machine or paper finishing machine, and actions are performed on the basis of said change. The invention also relates to a corresponding system, a rotating machine element and a computer program product.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 4, 2019Publication date: December 5, 2019Applicant: Valmet Technologies OyInventors: Tatu Pitkänen, Joe Cook, Heikki Kettunen, Gregory Vande Corput

Patent number: 10397375Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for multi-tenant cloud-based queuing. Certain techniques are disclosed herein that provide for interactions and observability between tenant queues within a multi-tenant cloud-based queuing database. In some embodiments, the queues may be utilized by both users and merchants for both online and point-of-service interactions. Multiple queues for multiple tenants are hosted by a cloud computing system. Each queue may include one more queue entries, each of which includes a ticket value, and may further include a ticket alias. The ticket values and/or ticket aliases may be decoupled from a queue position for the entry. In some embodiments, the queue entries may be swapped within a queue or between queues, and the system may enable searching in or automated actions between queues and/or tenants based in part upon queue conditions.Type: GrantFiled: August 3, 2018Date of Patent: August 27, 2019Assignee: Oracle International CorporationInventors: Wai Jan, Gregory Cook, Bruce Irvin

A disposable liner is removably mounted on the insulation unit. The liner may be a thermoformed sheet and may cover the interior and top surfaces of the insulation unit. A plurality of temperature-control members and a product box may be removably positioned in the liner. Preferably, the liner is shaped so that the temperature-control members snugly fit around all sides of the product box.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 8, 2018Publication date: July 11, 2019Inventors: Anthony Rizzo, Amanda Lynn Longley, James Nilsen, TzeHo Lee, Richard Orsini, Fery Pranadi, Gregory Cook, Ali Moghaddas, Brian Paul Skocypec, Joseph Francis Consiglio
