  • Publication number: 20240247755
    Abstract: An apparatus, system, and method according to which one or more sensors are adapted to detect a presence or absence of fluid entering, or before entering, a lubricator, within the lubricator, exiting, or after exiting, the lubricator, or any combination thereof, while fluid flow is received into the lubricator, the lubricator being operably coupled to a wellhead used in oil and gas operations. Based on the one or more sensors detecting the presence or absence of fluid, additional fluid flow into the lubricator is impeded.

  • Patent number: 12044180
    Abstract: An igniter for a combustor of a turbomachine includes a fuel inlet in fluid communication with a mixing plenum. The mixing plenum is positioned upstream of a mixing channel. An air inlet is in fluid communication with the mixing plenum and an ignition source is in operative communication with the mixing channel. The igniter may include a mounting flange configured for coupling the igniter to the combustor. The ignition source may be positioned proximate to a downstream end of the mixing channel and upstream of the mounting flange. The mixing channel may define a venturi shape. The venturi shape includes a converging section between an upstream end of the mixing channel and a venturi throat.

    Abstract: This disclosure describes systems, methods, and devices related to using an application programming interface (API) gateway orchestration layer. A method may include identifying, by the API gateway orchestration layer, a first API request, received by an API gateway API, to access a first microservice of a first API gateway that uses a first API gateway model; identifying a second API request, received by the API gateway API, to access a second microservice of a second API gateway that uses a second API gateway model; determining, based on the first API request, a first route to the first API gateway; determining, based on the second API request, a second route to the second API gateway; routing the first API request to the first microservice based on the first route; and routing the second API request to the second microservice based on the second route.

  • Patent number: 12038993
    Abstract: A performance monitoring system (PMS 102) displays a list of example URLs that matched a URL grouping rule used to group URLs. For a rule configured for a customer of the PMS, the example matched URLs are selected by the PMS from a candidate set of URLs identified from data associated with that customer. The PMS receives information identifying a Uniform Resource Locator (URL) grouping rule displayed in a graphical user interface (GUI). The PMS identified a list of candidate URLs occurring in the stored data. The PMS then identifies, from the list of candidate URLs, a set of matched URLs, the set of matched URLs including one or more URLs from the list of candidate URLs that matched the URL grouping rule. The PMS then causes at least one URL from the set of matched URLs to be displayed on the GUI.

  • Patent number: 11986632
    Abstract: A system and method for operating an analgesia administration system is disclosed. A control device is associated with a drug delivery device and configured to receive a first user input including at least a portion of a fingerprint of a patient, together with a second user input corresponding to a request to administer medication. The portion of the fingerprint is compared with previously-stored fingerprints to determine an identity of the patient and, in response to receiving the second user input and determining that the patient is an authorized user, one or more sensors are used to obtain one or more signals indicative of a state of the patient. If the state of the patient satisfies a set of medication delivery criteria, the drug delivery device is caused to administer a predefined amount of medication to the patient.

  • Publication number: 20240097992
    Abstract: Persistent storage may contain definitions of: configuration items (CIs) each having attributes that characterize a respective hardware or software component, a list of data sources used to update at least some of the CIs, and an auto-attestation time period; and one or more processors configured to: identify a plurality of the CIs for auto-attestation; for each respective CI, determine a respective condition of whether: (i) a data-source attribute of the respective CI indicates that it was updated by a trusted data source, and (ii) a most-recent-update attribute of the respective CI indicates that it was updated within the auto-attestation time period; and mark each respective CI based on its respective condition, wherein the respective CI is marked as auto-attested when its respective condition is true, and wherein the respective CI is marked as not auto-attested when its respective condition is false.

  • Publication number: 20230146554
    Abstract: A gravimetric verification system, method, and computer program product for automated detection and correction of reference density information based. An expected density of a fluid drug can be determined from the measured mass of a fluid drug and the intended volume of the fluid drug to be delivered to a medication container. The expected density can be compared to previously calculated densities for the fluid to verify the accuracy of a reference density value, verify the measurements and functional status of the measuring device for the fluid drug, and, in some instances, provide control or configuration commands to adjust one or more devices.

  • Patent number: 11174591
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for clarification of raw green liquor in a sedimentation tank. According to the invention is a part of dregs separated in the sedimentation tank recirculated back into the inflow of raw green liquor, and preferably after passing the dregs through at least one turbulence generator (30, 31) that could break up larger dregs particles into smaller dregs particles, and thus create larger total surface on the dregs particles, improving sedimentation rate in the sedimentation tank. In a preferred embodiment is the recirculated dregs added into the flow of raw green liquor before a flocculant is added into the flow of raw green liquor and mixed recirculated dregs.
