Patent number: 11921677Abstract: Embodiments are directed to sharing namespaces across file system clusters. A file in a spoke file system may be determined based on a command provided to the spoke file system such that the file may be associated with an inode mask. Data blocks associated with the file may be determined based on the command and the inode mask such that the data blocks may be absent from the spoke file system. Requests for leases may be generated based on the absent data blocks such that each lease request corresponds to a portion of the absent data blocks Employing the leases provided by a hub file system to: copy the absent data blocks from the hub file system where each portion of absent data blocks may be associated with a lease; updating the inode mask to include the leases and each copied portion of absent blocks.Type: GrantFiled: November 7, 2023Date of Patent: March 5, 2024Assignee: Qumulo, Inc.Inventors: Michael Patrick Kirby, Austin Elery Voecks, Alan Francisco Delgado Duran, Noah Trent Nelson, Thomas Scott Urban, Benjamin Gregory Reeves

Publication number: 20230247174Abstract: The various embodiments described herein provide systems, devices and/or processes to improve the deinterlacing of interlaced video content. Specifically, the various embodiments described herein facilitate the deinterlacing of video content by using both intraframe and interframe pixel prediction values to generate replacement pixel values to be used in the resulting progressive scan video. Specifically, the embodiments described herein generate both intraframe pixel prediction values and intraframe pixel prediction values for each pixel in the interlaced video that is to be replaced. The intraframe pixel prediction values and intraframe pixel prediction values are then blended together to generate the replacement pixel values that are used in the progressive scan video. In one embodiment, the blending of intraframe pixel prediction values and intraframe pixel prediction values is based at least in part by estimations of motion in the video about the pixel being replaced.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 3, 2023Publication date: August 3, 2023Applicant: Sling TV L.L.C.Inventor: Gregory Nelson Gillis

Publication number: 20230126905Abstract: A header lock assembly includes a header lock pin and mating lead lock collar that provide a releasable coupling for attaching one or more leads to a device. The header lock assembly is configured to engage the lead to assure closure while not applying undue pressure on the lead. One or more notches in the header lock pin allow the lead to pass the header lock pin unimpeded while the header lock assembly is in an unlocked configuration. Rotation of the header lock pin engages a circumferential groove in the lead lock collar to secure the lead to the header. A slot in the top of the header lock pin provides an interface surface with a lead locking tool for rotating the header lock pin. The slot orientation provides a visual indication of the header lock assembly being in a locked or unlocked configuration.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 27, 2021Publication date: April 27, 2023Applicant: INCUBE LABS, LLCInventors: Elmar FISCHER, Charles Gregory NELSON, Paul SPEHR, Kenneth R.

Publication number: 20230111093Abstract: A nicotine pod assembly for a nicotine e-vaping device may include a first section and a second section connected to the first section. The first section may define a pod outlet and be configured to hold a nicotine pre-vapor formulation. The second section may define a pod inlet and be configured to heat the nicotine pre-vapor formulation. The pod inlet is in fluidic communication with the pod outlet via a flow path. The flow path may include a first diverged portion, a second diverged portion, and a converged portion. A nicotine e-vaping device may include a device body defining a through hole configured to receive the nicotine pod assembly such that a pod inlet for the air flow is exposed when the nicotine pod assembly is seated within the through hole.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 7, 2022Publication date: April 13, 2023Inventors: Dean TWITE, Yannick HOURMAND, Bipin PATIL, Rangaraj S.

Publication number: 20230026776Abstract: A cuff is described for a target anatomic feature within a body, along with a system for utilizing the cuff. The cuff includes a band defining a circumferential opening extending along a length of the band; and a pair of engagement surfaces defined by or affixed to the cuff, the engagement surfaces structured for application of a spreading force to be distributed continuously along a portion of the circumferential opening, thereby increasing the circumferential opening and expanding the cuff for a closed configuration to an open configuration sized for placement of the cuff. The cuff is structured to remain in the closed configuration in the absence of the spreading force and automatically return to the closed configuration after removal of the spreading force.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 15, 2020Publication date: January 26, 2023Applicant: INCUBE LABS, LLCInventors: Paul SPEHR, Charles Gregory NELSON, Varghese K.

Patent number: 11111766Abstract: The complexity of a fracture network may be enhanced during a hydraulic fracturing operation by monitoring operational parameters of the fracturing job and altering stress conditions in the well in response to the monitoring of the operational parameters. The operational parameters monitored may include the injection rate of the pumped fluid, the density of the pumped fluid or the bottomhole pressure of the well after the fluid is pumped. The method provides an increase to the stimulated reservoir volume (SRV).Type: GrantFiled: March 13, 2018Date of Patent: September 7, 2021Assignee: Baker Hughes Holdings LLCInventors: Harold Dean Brannon, Thomas Ray Starks, II, Scott Gregory Nelson, Charles Elmer Bell, Tom N.

Patent number: 10370950Abstract: A method of enhancing conductivity within a hydrocarbon-bearing reservoir by building proppant pillars in a spatial arrangement in fractures created or enlarged in the reservoir. Two fluids of differing stability are simultaneously pumped into the reservoir. The fluids may contain identical proppant mixtures which include a first proppant which has an apparent specific gravity less than the apparent specific gravity of a second proppant. The fluids may contain identical proppants mixtures where the average particle size of a first proppant is greater than the average particle size of a second proppant. Vertically extending pillars are created within the formation when the fluids are destabilized and the first proppant is then released from the destabilized fluids. The area between the pillars may be held open by the presence of the second proppant in the remaining fluid.Type: GrantFiled: February 26, 2018Date of Patent: August 6, 2019Assignee: Baker Hughes, a GE Company, LLCInventors: D.

Publication number: 20180347332Abstract: The flow of well treatment fluids may be diverted from a high permeability zone to a low permeability zone within a fracture network within a subterranean formation by use of a divert system comprising dissolvable diverter particulates and proppant. At least a portion of the high permeability zone is propped open with the proppant of the divert system and at least a portion of the high permeability zone is blocked with the diverter particulates. A fluid is pumped into the formation and into a lower permeability zone farther from the wellbore. The diverter particulates in the high permeability zones may then be dissolved at in-situ reservoir conditions and hydrocarbons produced from the high permeability propped zones of the fracture network. The divert system has particular applicability in the enhancement of production of hydrocarbons from high permeability zones in a fracture network located far field from the wellbore.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 2, 2018Publication date: December 6, 2018Inventors: Naima Bestaoui-Spurr, Ahmed M. Gomaa, Harold Gene Hudson, D. V. Satyanarayana Gupta, Scott Gregory Nelson, Harold Dean Brannon
