  • Publication number: 20240109030
    Abstract: A system and method recover process gas from a source volume at a source pressure to a destination volume at an equal or greater pressure. A regulation process receive the process gas from the source volume and steps down the pressure. Each regulation uses one or more stage each using a pressure control valve for pressure step down and a heat exchanger for reheating the process gas thereafter. A gas scrubber receives the process gas from the regulation stages and collecting liquid from the process gas. A compression process receives the process gas from the gas scrubber and steps up the intermediate pressure to a final pressure. The compression can use one or more compression stages, each having a compression cycle for pressure step up and a heat exchanger for cooling the process gas thereafter. A discharge vessel receives the process gas from the compression process and discharges the process gas at the final pressure to the destination volume.

  • Patent number: 11915775
    Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure are drawn to apparatuses and methods for bad row mode. The memory may prevent proper access operations (e.g., read operations) from being performed on a selected bad row of the memory as part of a bad row mode. For example, the memory may store a bad row address and when an access address matches the bad row address, may suppress one or more signals, change data read from the address, or combinations thereof. The bad row mode may be used to provide a positive control for post package repair (PPR) operations on the memory. A controller may enter the memory into bad row mode and then test the memory to determine if the selected bad row can be located and repaired via PPR.

  • Patent number: 11655978
    Abstract: A high turn down ratio flare tip assembly, that allows for both low and high flowrate and pressure flows using a single flare. The flare assembly comprising a nozzle tube connected to the waste stream fuel inlet at one end. The other end of the flare tip assembly providing a seat for a conical structure with flow through orifices/ports that allow the waste stream to flow therethrough during low pressure operation. The conical structure connected to one end of a connecting rod, the connecting rod extending longitudinally downward through the nozzle tube and connected to a spring assembly. The flare tip assembly is designed to allow low flow and pressure to pass through the cone orifices, and during high flow and pressure operation, the cone is unseated from the nozzle tube, allowing the waste stream to flow therethrough. The flare tip assembly also includes a slotted/holed shroud that allows for smokeless combustion of the waste stream during high flow and pressure conditions.

  • Publication number: 20230116748
    Abstract: A method of identification and remediation of a mass event in a managed network. The method includes receiving a first report of an event occurring at a first endpoint of the managed network. In response, a first action is performed. The first action being initiated based on a repeating event trigger not being triggered. The method includes receiving a second report of the event occurring at a second endpoint. In response, the method includes determining whether a threshold that triggers the repeating event trigger is exceeded. The threshold being indicative of a mass event in the managed network. Responsive to the threshold being exceeded, the method includes triggering the repeating event trigger and performing a second automated resolution action in the managed network. The second action being different from the first action. Responsive to the threshold not being exceeded, the method includes performing the first action at the second endpoint.

  • Patent number: 11361086
    Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed for activating data encryption at rest in a storage device server in a cloud storage. In particular, an encryption orchestrator orchestrates activation processes through encryption controllers that controls policies and privileges to access data in storage device servers. To reduce a risk of a data loss and time loss in activations, the encryption controller pre-checks a storage device server for anomalies in configurations in network connectivity, encryption keys, and security certificates before starting the activation. Furthermore, the encryption controller performs a health-check of the storage device servers to detect anomalies that require restarting the storage device servers. The health-check reduces a risk of data loss when the storage device servers become unable restart itself. User interface tools may be provided to visually identify and manage encryption statuses and policies of the encryption controllers, the storage device servers, and data storage devices.
