  • Publication number: 20230135031
    Abstract: A system and a method for assessing a relevancy of a news article with respect to an entity are provided. The method includes: receiving a news article that relates to the entity; analyzing the content and/or functionality of the news article; and determining a quality score that corresponds to a relevancy of the news article with respect to the entity based on a result of the analyzing. The analyzing may be performed by applying an algorithm that uses a Natural Language Processing (NLP) technique to analyze the content and/or functionality and that generates an output that includes the quality score. The algorithm may also generate a dependency graph that illustrates relationships among various entities referred to in the news article.

  • Patent number: 11619331
    Abstract: Gasket seals for high pressure applications include retaining elements with inner diameter seal elements that interlock with the retaining element to provide resistance to movement in both axial and radial directions between the retaining element and seal element. High pressure sealing may be accomplished using a metallic core retaining element to which an electrically isolating material is bonded on either or both sides. Sealing is achieved through an inner diameter dielectric sealing element, such as a polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) inner diameter sealing ring. Flanges of a joint in a fluid flow ling may be bolted together with the gasket seal interposed therebetween. In the event of pressure changes, the inner diameter seal resists being drawn into the flow line, and resists axial movement relative to the retaining element, through dual locking members that secure the seal to the retaining element.

  • Publication number: 20230023081
    Abstract: A process for producing a liquid coffee concentrate that has a reduced acrylamide content. The process involves contacting a low aromatic aqueous coffee extract with a carbon and/or silica based resin with adsorptive function to reduce the acrylamide content of the extract, prior to combining the treated extract with a high aromatic aqueous coffee extract. In particular, the process comprises the steps of: a) providing a low aromatic aqueous coffee extract having a first acrylamide content; b) providing a high aromatic aqueous coffee extract; c) contacting the low aromatic aqueous coffee extract with a carbon and/or silica based resin with adsorptive function to provide a low aromatic aqueous coffee extract having a second acrylamide content; and d) combining the low aromatic aqueous coffee extract having a second acrylamide content and the high aromatic aqueous coffee extract to provide a liquid coffee concentrate, wherein the second acrylamide content is lower than the first acrylamide content.

  • Patent number: 11563630
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a system including a wellsite controller. The wellsite controller receives workflow inputs such as wellsite details and communications settings, generates a local configuration entry including the workflow inputs, sensor configuration information about wellsite sensors connected to the controller, and a unique identifier for the controller. The unique identifier is based upon the workflow inputs, the sensor configuration information, and location information for the wellsite. The controller generates a registration message from the local configuration entry. A server receives the registration message, and compares the unique identifier to a store of known identifiers. If the unique identifier does not match one of the known identifiers, the server recognizes the controller as being newly added, adds the wellsite to a monitoring system of the server by creating an entry for the wellsite from the registration message, and attempts to map the wellsite sensors to the entry for the wellsite.
