Publication number: 20240098108Abstract: A cluster of network flows is formed on the basis of a particular entity-to-entity relationship, and individual network flows within the cluster are further identified on an application-by-application basis to better characterize communications between two compute instances connected through a data network. By individually scoring network flows for each application with a variety of tools, and aggregating these individual scores into a composite score for the cluster of network flows, more accurate threat detections can be supported based on an increase in relevant threat data and a more complete view of risk factors.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 16, 2022Publication date: March 21, 2024Inventors: John Franklin Limb, Neil Richard Terry, James B.

Patent number: 6761574Abstract: A coiled tubing connector includes a male and female housing. A rotating ring having threads is disposed on the male housing. When the male housing is joined to the female housing, the threads of the rotating ring threadingly engage threads disposed on the internal circumference of the female housing. The male housing also includes splines which align with grooves on the female housing. Situated on both the male and female housing are electrical contacts which themselves engage when the housings are joined. The electrical contacts are connected to wires embedded in the composite tubing so that electrical power or data signals from one length of composite tubing can pass through the connector to another length of coiled tubing. The ends of the composite tubing are affixed to both the male and female housings through a compression fitting.Type: GrantFiled: March 24, 2000Date of Patent: July 13, 2004Assignee: Halliburton Energy Services, Inc.Inventors: Haoshi Song, James W.

Publication number: 20030118230Abstract: An inspection system for identifying predetermined features in coiled tubing, comprising a computer system configured to execute pattern recognition software and a plurality of imaging devices configured to capture video images of coiled tubing as the tubing passes by the imaging devices. Images captured by the inspection system are transmitted to the computer system and the pattern recognition software analyzes the image, extracts features from the image, and generates an indication if a defect is identified in the images. The computer system reads a counter signal to identify the longitudinal location along the coiled tubing at which the defect is located. The counter signal may also be used to enable or disable the inspection system. The system is capable of real-time processing or post processing by optionally storing the video images. The coiled tubing includes longitudinal striping as a reference to specify the annular position of a predetermined feature.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 22, 2001Publication date: June 26, 2003Inventors: Haoshi Song, James B.
