  • Publication number: 20240114055
    Abstract: Responsive to the request for a security fabric report, an upper-level node transits a request to a lower-level node for a subtree security report. If there are additional network gateways at lower hierarchical levels, the next level down repeats the process. A root level network gateway will transmit the first request, as the high level of the hierarchy, and a last leaf receives the last request, as the lowest level. An overall security fabric report is returned from the root node.

  • Patent number: 11944294
    Abstract: A circular stapling device includes a handle assembly, an elongate body portion that extends distally from the handle assembly, a shell assembly supported on a distal end of the elongate body portion, an anvil retainer assembly extending through the shell assembly, and an anvil assembly supported on the anvil retainer assembly. The anvil retainer assembly includes a retainer member including a retainer body and an engagement member that is pivotally supported on the retainer body. The engagement member is movable axially in relation to the retainer body from a retracted position to an advanced position to move the engagement member to from a locked position to an unlocked position in relation to the retainer body. In the unlocked position, the engagement member is movable from a non-articulated position to an articulated position in relation to the retainer body.

  • Patent number: 11939406
    Abstract: Densified textile aggregates are co-fed with a fuel into a partial oxidation gasifier. High solids concentrations in the feedstock composition can be obtained without significant impact on the feedstock composition stability and pumpability. A consistent quality of densified textile derived syngas can be continuously produced, including generation of carbon dioxide and a carbon monoxide/hydrogen ratio while stably operating the gasifier and avoiding the high tar generation of fluidized bed or fixed bed waste gasifiers and without impacting the operations of the gasifier. The densified textile derived syngas quality, composition, and throughput are suitable for produce a wide range of chemicals and polymers, including methanol, acetic acid, methyl acetate, acetic anhydride, and cellulose esters through a variety of reaction schemes in which at least a portion of the chemical or polymer originates with densified textile derived syngas.

  • Patent number: 11939547
    Abstract: Pre-ground plastics of small particle size not more than 2 mm are co-fed into a solid fossil fuel fed entrained flow partial oxidation gasifier. High solids concentrations in the feedstock stream can be obtained without significant impact on the feedstock stream stability and pumpability. A consistent quality of syngas can be continuously produced, including generation of carbon dioxide and a carbon monoxide/hydrogen ratio while stably operating the gasifier and avoiding the high tar generation of fluidized bed or fixed bed waste gasifiers and without impacting the operations of the gasifier. The subsequent syngas produced from this material can be used to produce a wide range of chemicals.

  • Patent number: 11902130
    Abstract: The representative embodiments discussed in the present disclosure relate to techniques with which data packet loss, such as Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) packet loss, may be detected. More specifically, in some embodiments, by detecting a TCP packet with an enabled selective acknowledgement (SACK) signal, the loss (e.g., drop) of an additional TCP packet may be determined. Moreover, using information included in the detected TCP packet, an operational efficiency of a cloud computing system and/or a component of the cloud computing system may be determined.
