  • Patent number: 10372807
    Abstract: Various systems and methods are provided for accessing and traversing one or more complex data structures and generating a functional user interface that can enable non-technical users to quickly and dynamically generate detailed reports (including tables, charts, and/or the like) of complex data including time varying attributes. The user interfaces are interactive such that a user may make selections, provide inputs, and/or manipulate outputs. In response to various user inputs, the system automatically calculates applicable time intervals, accesses and traverses complex data structures (including, for example, a mathematical graph having nodes and edges), calculates complex data based on the traversals and the calculated time intervals, displays the calculated complex data to the user, and/or enters the calculated complex data into the tables, charts, and/or the like. The user interfaces may be automatically updated based on a context selected by the user.

  • Patent number: 10375155
    Abstract: Performance of connection flow management between a hardware-based network interface and a software module of a network traffic management device is disclosed. A flow connection setup for a flow connection is established between a client device and a server at the network traffic management device. It is then determined if the flow connection is symmetrical or asymmetrical in nature. A flow signature entry and a transformation data entry for the flow connection is generated, by software executed by the network traffic management device, in opposing first and second symmetric or asymmetric flow directions. The flow signature entry and the transformation data entry for the first and second flow directions is sent from the software module to the network interface. The network interface stores and utilizes the flow signature entry and the transformation data entry to perform acceleration on data packets in the first and second flow directions.

  • Patent number: 10370942
    Abstract: A method for combining integrated drilling, flushing and slotting with thermal injection to enhance coalbed gas extraction, applicable to managing gas extraction from microporous, low-permeability, high-adsorption coalbed areas. A gas extraction borehole is drilled within a certain distance of a predetermined drilling, flushing and slotting borehole, and, once sealed, is used for gas extraction. An integrated drilling, flushing and slotting drill bit is used to sink the borehole, which is then sealed. Concentration variation in the gas extraction borehole is monitored in real time, and when concentration is below 30%, borehole is opened and high-temperature steam is injected by means of a steam generator, after which the borehole is again closed.
