Patent number: 11582271Abstract: Techniques for committing back end computing resources to an online stream of requests for data from client devices are described herein. A polling schedule server (e.g., a reservation management system), may receive polling reservation requests from a plurality of client devices, may evaluate each client device's need for “fresh” data based on a number of input signals, and may assign the client device a polling slot (e.g., a reservation for a future polling time). The polling scheduler server may subsequently receive a polling request from a client device and, upon validating a token received from the client device as well as a difference between an assigned polling time and the polling request timestamp, may grant the polling request by transmitting a request to one or more communication system servers, receiving data from the communication system servers, and providing the data to the client device.Type: GrantFiled: October 21, 2021Date of Patent: February 14, 2023Assignee: Salesforce, Inc.Inventors: Keith Adams, Ryan Huber, Mark Christian, James Scheinblum

Patent number: 11566485Abstract: An assembly is used for chemical injection through a wellhead to a capillary line in a well. A capillary hanger installs in the wellhead to support the capillary line. A no-return valve of the capillary hanger prevents fluid communication uphole from the supported capillary line. An injection module mounts above a gate valve on the wellhead and includes a movable mandrel disposed therein. Hydraulic pressure applied to a piston chamber in the module extends the mandrel through the open gate valve so that a distal end of the mandrel can open the no-return valve. At this point, chemical injection introduced into the module can communicate through a flow bore of the extended mandrel, through the open non-return valve, and on through the supported capillary line in the well.Type: GrantFiled: September 29, 2021Date of Patent: January 31, 2023Assignee: Weatherford Technology Holdings, LLCInventors: Martin Robert Douglas Oliphant, Keith Adams, Robert Andrew Hunt
