  • Patent number: 12360224
    Abstract: A sensor (e.g., an optical sensor) is disposed in an enclosure that separates it from an external environment. The enclosure includes an aperture comprising a transparent material. A laminate comprising a plurality of transparent films is coupled to the aperture such that the sensor has a field of view of the external environment through the transparent material of the aperture and the plurality of transparent films. The laminate includes an exposed transparent film that is exposed to the external environment and that is removable to expose an underlying film in the laminate when dirt, debris, or other obscuring material has collected on it. A laminate module that includes the laminate, a laminate sensor, and a peeling mechanism may be removably mounted on the aperture. The laminate sensor can sense the number of transparent films remaining in the laminate. The peeling mechanism can peel away individual transparent films in the laminate.

  • Publication number: 20250200636
    Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, methods, and computer program products are disclosed for optimizing an item partitioning benefit. An example method includes detecting, by detection circuitry, a user visit event at an establishment that is associated with a user attribute set. The example method further includes determining, by a multimodal engine and based on the user attribute set, a user digital identity wallet comprising one or more user digital identities associated with a benefit set. The example method further includes, identifying, by a selection engine, one or more candidate items, and determining for each candidate item, by the selection engine and using a digital identity selection model, an optimal user digital identity indicative of an optimal item partitioning benefit. The example method further includes generating, by the selection engine and using the digital identity selection model, a candidate item partitioning set, and outputting, by communications hardware, a verification request.

  • Patent number: 12228013
    Abstract: A technique facilitates application of increased force on a downhole tool, such as a shifting tool. According to an embodiment, a shifting tool is sized for deployment along the interior of a well string to enable shifting of a sliding sleeve. The shifting tool comprises a plurality of keys which are movably mounted for actuation between a contracted position and an extended position engaging the sliding sleeve. A plurality of pads may be actuated with the plurality of keys so as to form a flow restriction between the shifting tool and the surrounding well string. As a result, fluid pumped down between the shifting tool and the well string establishes a pressure differential across the flow restriction which helps move the shifting tool and the sliding sleeve to a desired position.

  • Patent number: 12091931
    Abstract: A technique facilitates operation of a slip assembly, e.g. a frac plug assembly, having a plurality of slips. The plurality of slips may selectively be forced in a radially outward direction via, for example, a cone so as to set the slips against a surrounding casing or other tubing. The slip assembly further comprises a mechanism which allows different amounts of radial movement of individuals slips to ensure sufficient setting of the individual slips when the surrounding tubing is oval or otherwise out of round.

  • Patent number: 11055371
    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to using smart data filters to create multi-threaded profiles. A computing platform may generate a multi-threaded profile corresponding to a user. Thereafter, the computing platform may receive, via the communication interface and from a user device, external event information corresponding to the multi-threaded profile. Then, the computing platform may determine, based on the external event information, a filter bank corresponding to a first thread of the multi-threaded profile. Subsequently, the computing platform may determine, based on the external event information and the filter bank, a time to live parameter corresponding to the external event information. Next, the computing platform may retrieve, from a multi-threaded profile server and based on the multi-threaded profile and the filter bank, first thread information corresponding to the first thread of the multi-threaded profile.

  • Patent number: 10838798
    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to error resolution processing systems with improved error prediction features and enhanced resolution techniques. A computing platform may receive error log files identifying error codes corresponding to error occurrences on one or more different virtual machine host platforms. The computing platform may aggregate the error codes corresponding to the error occurrences to generate an error lattice. Using the error lattice, the computing platform may predict an error outcome. Based on the predicted error outcome, the computing platform may determine a system configuration update to be applied to the one or more virtual machine host platforms. The computing platform may direct a dynamic resource management computing platform to distribute relevant portions of the system configuration update to each of the one or more virtual machine host platforms. This may cause the one or more virtual machine host platforms to implement the system configuration update.

  • Patent number: 10540947
    Abstract: Embodiments of a capo and fretting component are described. In certain embodiments, the fretting component is threaded onto a crossbar configured to overlie the instrument strings when in use and to pivot with respect to the crossbar so as to contact and press the strings against a fret on the instrument neck. The fretting component is offset with respect to the attachment mechanism of the capo, allowing the attachment mechanism to be offset on the neck of the instrument from where it would normally be positioned to achieve a comparable fretting effect.
