  • Patent number: 11625087
    Abstract: A system and method for managing energy consumption of one or more processor cores in a multicore processing device. The method includes recording an activity level of one or more processor cores within a multicore processing device and translating each activity level of the one or more processor cores to a respective charge value. The method also includes generating, at least partially subject to each translated charge value, one or more charge replenishment requests associated with the one or more processor cores. The method further includes determining the one or more charge replenishment requests exceeds a power delivery capacity to the multicore processing device. The method also includes regulating the processing activity of the one or more processor cores to decrease a power consumption for the one or more processing cores.

  • Patent number: 10557772
    Abstract: The system utilizes conductivity equipment as well as a camera, pressure sensor, and acoustic hydrophone within a probe deployed via cable into a pipe to be inspected. The probe completes an electric circuit back to ground when the probe is adjacent a defect through which electric currents can pass, thus producing varying electric current. The camera, incorporated into the electric probe, is utilized for both inspection and navigation through the pipe by providing a close-circuit video data feed. The pressure sensor detects alterations in the pressure and flow field of the fluidic region in the area of a leak. The acoustic hydrophone listens for the sound leaks in a pressurized pipeline. The inspection device is tethered to a cable and inserted a measured distance into the pipeline, typically with the pipeline under pressure, via a launch tube. Multi-sensor data versus pipeline position is thus obtained.

  • Patent number: 10451515
    Abstract: Extensions exited from electrodes of an electroscan probe, allowing for operation in a wide range of pipe sizes, particularly large diameter pipes, by extending the maximum effective distance of the electric fields generated by the probe. The extensions preferably extend radially from each of the electrodes, and are sized to bring tips of the extensions close to the pipe wall. The extensions can be joined by lanyards to assist in keeping them spaced apart. At least some extensions preferably have bulbous tips, preferably at least partially formed of non-conductive material to keep adjacent extensions from touching each other, especially extensions coupled to different electrodes. The extensions, in one embodiment, are threaded into collars adjacent to each electrode and selected to have a length appropriate for the pipe diameter.

  • Patent number: 5791005
    Abstract: A scarifying and deburring tool is disclosed adapted to scarify an outer surface of a tubing, pipe or fitting end and scarify and debur an inner surface of a member having an open cylindrical end such tubing, pipe or fitting end. The tool includes an elongated contoured handle with two inner surface scarifying brushes extending from opposite ends of the handle. The handle includes two outer surface scarifying brushes supported in spaced apart throughbores in the handle. A deburring plate is affixed to one side of the handle and includes an inwardly angled deburring scrapers aligned with and extending into respective throughbores. When a tubing, pipe or fitting end is inserted in a throughbore and seated against the corresponding scraper, the end is deburred when the tubing, pipe or fitting is rotated with respect to the tool. The deburring plate includes an opening that functions as a key for opening and closing "B" type acetylene tanks.
