  • Patent number: 10999720
    Abstract: Various examples are described for defining automations for client devices enrolled with a management service. A computing environment can cause one or more user interfaces to be shown in a display of an administrator device that include at least one field for receiving a conditional statement to generate an automation associated with client devices enrolled with the management service. The computing environment can validate the conditional statement based on validation criteria and, in an instance in which the conditional statement has been validated, generate the automation based on the conditional statement, the automation causing the computing environment to perform a predetermined action automatically when the conditional statement is satisfied.

  • Patent number: 10974190
    Abstract: A process is presented where a feed stream containing a hydrogen sulfide and another feed component is introduced into an absorber that the feed stream flows upward from the bottom of the absorber and contacts a liquid treatment solution, where the liquid treatment solution contains a sulfur dye catalyst. The hydrogen sulfide is absorbed into the liquid treatment solution and converted into sulfide ions. The other feed component is removed from the absorber vessel substantially free of the hydrogen sulfide and a spent treatment solution is also removed from the absorber vessel and fed to an oxidation vessel where it is contacted with an oxygen containing gas causing the sulfide ions to oxidize to thiosulfate and converting the spent sulfur dye catalyst to regenerated sulfur dye catalyst. The thiosulfate is recovered, and the regenerated sulfur dye catalyst can be recycled as part of the liquid treatment solution.

  • Patent number: 10911305
    Abstract: Various examples for performing rule processing for device management data evaluation are described. According to some examples, one or more computing devices can receive new device data from a client device indicative of a current configuration of the client device and identify a change of a device configuration value from a past device configuration value by comparing the new device data to historic device data. The computing devices can send the new device data to a rule evaluation service to identify one or more rules associated with the device configuration value a rule action service to perform an action specified in the rules. The rule action service can determine the action to perform based on the device configuration value.

  • Publication number: 20200389525
    Abstract: Various examples are described for defining automations for client devices enrolled with a management service. A computing environment can cause one or more user interfaces to be shown in a display of an administrator device that include at least one field for generating an automation that includes a trigger, a condition, and an action to automatically be performed when the condition is satisfied. The trigger defines a time at which the management service compares the condition to device profiles generated for client devices enrolled with the management service. The user interface can forecast a number of client devices that will be affected or subject to an automation, and can display results of the automation as it is executed in real time.

  • Publication number: 20200332203
    Abstract: A process is presented to treat a process stream containing a hydrocarbon (oil and/or gas) and hydrogen sulfide with a liquid treatment solution containing a sulfur dye catalyst. The process stream can be within a pipeline, wellbore, subsea pipeline or a wellhead that contains hydrogen sulfide where the liquid treatment solution is injected at a predetermined point to define a scavenger zone such that the sulfur dye catalyst in the liquid treatment solution causes the sulfide from the hydrogen sulfide to react with the catalyst. The hydrocarbon component is separated substantially free of the hydrogen sulfide from a spent treatment solution containing spent sulfur dye catalyst which can then be fed to an oxidation vessel where it is contacted with an oxygen containing gas causing the sulfide to oxidize to thiosulfate and converting the spent sulfur dye catalyst to regenerated sulfur dye catalyst.

  • Publication number: 20200186435
    Abstract: Various examples are described for enrollment data visualization using enhanced graphical user interface elements. In one example, a management service can receive device data from devices enrolled with the management service, where the management service is configured to remotely oversee operation of the devices. The management service can determine operational metrics using the device data describing operation of the client devices and generate a metric visualization region for display in a user interface. In some examples, the metric visualization region can include a graph plotting the operational metrics over a predefined period of time and a circle having a predefined width circumscribing the graph, where at least a portion of the circle is filled based on the operational metrics.

  • Patent number: 10664202
    Abstract: Disclosed are various examples for network printer detection and authentication for managed device deployment. In one example, a computing environment can receive an identifier from a client device over a network, where the client device detects the identifier based on a wireless transmission performed by a transmitter in association with a print operation assigned to a network printer. The computing environment can determine whether an authentication is required at the network printer in association with the print operation and cause an agent application executable on the client device to obtain authentication data. An authentication can be performed based on the authentication data received from the client device and, in response to a successful authentication, causes the print operation to be performed by the network printer.

  • Patent number: 10554767
    Abstract: Systems and methods are included for displaying enterprise content on a large-format display based on proximity of one or more user devices. A management server can enroll a television and a user device and install management agents on both. The management server can receive proximity information from the television or the user device, or both, and determine that content relating to the user device should be displayed on the television. For example, the management server or management agents can compare an estimated distance between the television and user device to a threshold distance for displaying content on the television related to that user device. The management server can then request content from a content server and instruct the content server to provide that content directly to the television for display.

The computing environment can validate the conditional statement based on validation criteria and, in an instance in which the conditional statement has been validated, execute a query to determine a number of the client devices affected by the conditional statement. As a result of the query, the computing environment can display information associated with a number of the client devices affected by the conditional statement.

  • Publication number: 20190123484
    Abstract: An electrical connector includes a first housing. A second housing is moveable relative to the first housing and includes a travel peg. The electrical connector also includes a lever. The lever includes two lever arms that are joined by a handle. Each of the lever arms is attached to the first housing and allows relative rotational movement of the lever about a lever axis. The lever may be moved from a pre-stage position to a final position. The lever engages the travel peg to move the second housing linearly in an insertion direction from a pre-stage position to a seated position relative to the first housing. The travel peg moves along a peg path when the second housing is moved from the pre-stage position to the seated position. The peg path is located between the lever axis and the handle.
