  • VALIDATING AND CALIBRATING SPLICE POINTS IN INTERSTITIAL CONTENT
    Publication number: 20190246151
    Abstract: A television playout system that handles playout of a channel, receives a video feed of the channel comprising programming data and a plurality of interstitial content items, and a playout schedule of the channel. Metadata comprising a pre-roll value is inserted at a first insertion point related to a first interstitial content item of the plurality of interstitial content items, based on the playout schedule. An offset is detected in the metadata, based on the first insertion point of the metadata in the video feed, the pre-roll value, and a time-code (TC) jump associated with a second interstitial content item in the video feed. One or more control parameters associated with the insertion of the metadata are calibrated, based on the detected offset to align a splice point related to the first interstitial content item with the TC jump associated with the second interstitial content item.

  • Mitigated dynamic underbalance
    Patent number: 10337301
    Abstract: A perforating gun assembly for use in a wellbore includes a carrier body and a charge holder disposed within the carrier body. One or more shaped charges are supported by the carrier body and are operably coupled to a detonator for igniting a highly explosive material within the each of the shaped charges. At least one solid propellant tablet is also disposed within the carrier body and is operably coupled to the detonator to ignite and burn immediately after detonation of the shaped charges. The solid propellant tablet burns or is consumed in such a manner to effectively mitigate or control the dynamic underbalance created by the free volume within the carrier body. Burning of the solid propellant tablet may increase the pressure within the carrier body to a level lower than a hydrostatic pressure around the carrier body in the wellbore such that a dynamic underbalance is maintained.

  • Tubing removal system
    Patent number: 10287836
    Abstract: Example apparatus, methods, and systems described for cutting tubulars in a downhole environment. In an example apparatus, energetic cutters are housed within a carrier. In some embodiments, the carrier is a cylindrical, tubular member. Radial energetic cutters are positioned at the ends of the carrier and linear energetic cutters are positioned between the radial energetic cutters. Initiation of the energetic cutters results in tubular fragments that fall downhole.

  • ENFORCING DATA SECURITY IN A CLEANROOM DATA PROCESSING ENVIRONMENT
    Publication number: 20190141049
    Abstract: Techniques for enforcing data security in a cleanroom data processing environment are described herein. In one or more embodiments, a virtual private cloud environment stores a first set of data provided by a first user account and a second set of data provided by a second user account, where the first user account is associated with a first set of one or more security credentials and the second user account is associated with a second set of security credentials and where the first user account is prevented from accessing at least the second set of data and the second user account is prevented from accessing at least the first set of data. In response to receiving, from the first user account or the second user account, a request to destroy the virtual private cloud environment, at least the first set of data and the second set of data are deleted.

  • PROVIDING DOMAIN-JOINED REMOTE APPLICATIONS IN A CLOUD ENVIRONMENT
    Publication number: 20190124060
    Abstract: Embodiments are directed to provisioning private virtual machines in a public cloud and to managing private virtual machines hosted on a public cloud. In one scenario, a computer system receives authentication information for a private domain from an entity. The entity indicates that their private virtual machines are to be provisioned on a public cloud, where the entity's private domain is accessible using the authentication information. The computer system establishes a virtual network on the public cloud which is configured to host the entity's private virtual machines, where each virtual machine hosts remote applications. The computer system establishes an authenticated connection from the virtual network to the entity's private domain using the received authentication information and provides the entity's private virtual machines on the public cloud.

  • Establishing a cleanroom data processing environment
    Patent number: 10225259
    Abstract: Techniques for providing a virtual cleanroom data processing environment are described herein. In one or more embodiments, a virtual private cloud environment is configured to prevent data from being sent to network locations external to the virtual private cloud environment. One or more computing resources deployed within the virtual private cloud environment receives, from a first source external to the virtual private cloud environment, a first set of data that is associated with a first user account. A set of one or more software components, received from a second source, are also deployed within the virtual private cloud environment. Once deployed, the set of software components generates, based at least in part on the first set of data, a set of output data. The first set of data is continuously prevented from being sent to network locations external to the virtual private cloud environment.
