Publication number: 20250083071Abstract: A tank recirculation assembly comprising a recirculation line that draws fluid from the lower portion of a tank; and a pump that directs the recirculated fluid vertically toward and into the upper portion of the tank. The assembly comprises piping, pumping process and/or nozzles that spray the recirculated fluid across the surface oil inside of the tank. Recirculation is incorporated to enhance the recovery of more and cleaner oil by spraying as much of the surface area of the oil recovery zone to keep it clean. The then dispersed fluid travels down through the pad and reacts to help disperse and remove the interface that conglomerates in between the oil and water interface.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 8, 2023Publication date: March 13, 2025Inventors: John Hayden Williams, Armando C.

Patent number: 12235783Abstract: Described apparatuses and methods facilitate bus training with multiple dice, such as multiple memory dice. A controller can communicate with multiple dice over a bus to perform bus training by sending a test pattern and receiving in return a feedback pattern indicative of the bits detected by the dice. Because suitable signal timing can differ between dice, even those using the same bus, the controller may attempt to train each die separately from the others. In some situations, however, individualized training may be infeasible. To accommodate such situations, logic associated with two or more dice can combine the bits as detected from the test pattern into a combined feedback pattern. A timing parameter that is jointly suitable for multiple dice can be determined, and the bus training may be concluded, responsive to the combined feedback pattern matching the test pattern. The multiple dice may be stacked or linked.Type: GrantFiled: August 30, 2022Date of Patent: February 25, 2025Assignee: Micron Technology, Inc.Inventors: Francesco Douglas Verna-Ketel, Hyun Yoo Lee, Smruti Subhash Jhaveri, John Christopher Sancon, Yang Lu, Kang-Yong Kim

Because suitable signal timing can differ between dice, even those using the same bus, a controller may train each die separately from the others. In some situations, however, individualized training may be infeasible. To accommodate such situations, logic associated with two or more dice can combine, using at least one logical operation, bits as detected from the test pattern into a combined feedback pattern. A timing parameter that is jointly suitable for multiple dice can be determined, and the bus training may be concluded, responsive to the combined feedback pattern matching the test pattern. The multiple dice may be stacked or linked.Type: GrantFiled: August 30, 2022Date of Patent: February 25, 2025Assignee: Micron Technology, Inc.Inventors: Yang Lu, Creston M.

Patent number: 12212463Abstract: A method is described that determines that a replacement node device has been connected to a mesh network, the replacement node device corresponding to an original node that has been removed from the mesh network. In response to determining that the replacement node device has been connected to the mesh network, network topology data is accessed that specifies one or more data routing configurations that are each associated with a node device included in the mesh network. From among the one or more data routing configurations specified by the network topology data, a particular data routing configuration is identified that is associated with the original node device that has been removed from the mesh network. Data that specifies the particular data routing configuration that is associated with the original node device that has been removed from the mesh network is provided to the replacement node device.Type: GrantFiled: May 22, 2023Date of Patent: January 28, 2025Assignee: Alarm.com IncorporatedInventors: Matthew Flannery Knight, John Douglas Penning
