  • Patent number: 11920805
    Abstract: The present invention provides a heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) system using an A2L refrigerant and a method of installing the HVAC system in a building. The HVAC system includes an indoor unit having a heat exchanger that uses an A2L refrigerant, a blower, an outdoor unit, an A2L control board, and one or more A2L sensors configured to detect an amount of A2L refrigerant. In one or more embodiments, the indoor unit is electrically coupled to the blower, the A2L control board, and the outdoor unit. Also, in one or more embodiments, the A2L control board is also electrically coupled to the blower and the one or more A2L sensors.

  • Patent number: 11879314
    Abstract: A downhole system includes a lower completion having at least one tubular including a first end and a second end terminating at a shoe. The at least one tubular defining a flow path. A packer is arranged at the first end. A fluid loss control valve (FLCV) is arranged between the packer and the shoe. A screen system is arranged between the FLCV and the shoe. The screen system includes a screen and a non-mechanically operated flow control valve that selectively isolates the flow path from formation fluids passing through the screen. A wellbore clean out string is insertable into the lower completion. The wellbore clean out string includes a selectively activated casing cleaner and a setting tool. The selectively activated casing cleaner is spaced from the setting tool.

  • Publication number: 20230353586
    Abstract: For each item represented within log events that have a power law-oriented distribution, first and second metrics for the item are computed based on the log events which pertain to the item. The items are organized over bins according to the first metric. The bins correspond to different ranges of the first metric. For each bin, the items in the bin are ordered according to the second metric. A plot of the bins over which the items have been organized according to the first metric, is graphically displayed, which includes displaying, for each bin, the items in the bin as have been ordered according to the second metric.

  • Patent number: 10352801
    Abstract: Intelligent temperature and pressure gauge assemblies (52) for use with vessels (24) having pressurized hazard suppression materials therein include temperature and pressure sensors (136, 138) coupled with a digital processor (72) with associated memory for storing empirical temperature and pressure data. The data includes normalized linear temperature-pressure curves consistent with static or slowly changing temperature conditions experienced by the vessels (24), as well as nonlinear temperature-pressure curves consistent with rapidly changing temperature conditions. In use, the assemblies (52) repeatedly sense temperature and pressure conditions of the hazard suppression material and compare sensed values with stored values, and generate an output in conformance with the comparison. In this fashion, the assemblies (52) compensate for rapidly changing temperatures without generating false failure signals.
