  • Publication number: 20260098513
    Abstract: A pipeline-integrated power generation system for remote oil and gas sites is disclosed. The system utilizes a flow-through generator with contactless magnetic coupling to eliminate shaft seals and dynamic penetrations. The system comprises a pipeline with a flow restriction device creating pressure differential, branch and return lines routing pressurized fluid through the flow through generator, and a sealed housing defining pressurized and atmospheric portions separated by a non-magnetic generator wall. A turbine wheel, shaft, and permanent magnets operate within the sealed portion, while external windings in the unsealed portion generate electricity through magnetic coupling across the generator wall. The contactless design eliminates leak paths, reduces maintenance requirements, and provides zero-emission power generation from existing pipeline flow. The sealed, self-contained design minimizes maintenance and enhances durability, suitable for remote locations.

  • Patent number: 11196756
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for identifying network addresses and/or IDs of a deduplicated list among network data, machine data, and/or events derived from network data and/or machine data, and for identifying notable events by searching for the presence of network addresses and/or network IDs that are deduplicated across lists received from multiple external sources. One method includes receiving a plurality of lists of network locations, wherein each list is received from over a network, wherein each of the network locations includes a domain name or an IP address, and wherein at least two of the plurality of lists each include a same network location; aggregating the plurality of lists of network locations into a deduplicated list of unique network locations; and searching network data or machine data for a network location included in the deduplicated list of unique network locations.
