Abstract: A fluid end of a reciprocating pump assembly includes a cylinder, a cover, and a valve stop. The cylinder has a fluid inlet, a fluid outlet, and an access side wall comprising an access wall inner surface that defines an access opening. The access opening provides access to an inner area of the cylinder and has an access opening axis. The cover is positioned in the access opening and forms a seal with the access wall inner surface along the access opening. The cover includes a cover axis coaxial with the access opening axis. The valve stop is positioned partially in the fluid inlet and includes a spring retainer and a column portion. The column portion includes a flange positioned between the cover and the access wall inner surface. The flange is in the shape of an arc.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods, systems, and processes for centralized containerized deployment of network traffic sensors to network sensor hosts for deep packet inspection (DPI) that supports various other cybersecurity operations. A network sensor package containing a pre-configured network sensor container is received by a network sensor host from a network sensor deployment server. Installation of the network sensor package on the network sensor host causes execution of the network sensor container that further causes deployment of an on-premise network sensor along with a network sensor management system, a DPI system, and an intrusion detection/prevention (IDS/IPS) system. The configurable on-premise network sensor is deployed on multiple operating system distributions of the network sensor host and generates actionable network metadata using DPI techniques for optimized log search and management and improved intrusion detection and response (IDR) operations.

Abstract: A fluid cylinder for a fluid end section of a reciprocating pump is described. The fluid cylinder includes a body defining a pressure chamber in fluid communication with a plunger bore, the plunger bore comprising a packing segment configured to hold a packing stack, and a tubular sleeve in interference-fit within the plunger bore. The sleeve has an internal passage configured to accommodate a plunger operatively reciprocating within the plunger bore during operation of the reciprocating pump, and a stepped shoulder disposed at an interface between a first segment of the sleeve and a second segment of the sleeve, where a diameter of the first segment being greater than a diameter of the second segment of the sleeve. An annular seal is disposed at the stepped shoulder f the sleeve between the sleeve and the plunger bore. A packing flange is secured within the plunger bore abutting an end portion of the first segment of the sleeve.
