Patent number: 9347311Abstract: Provided are systems and methods for ground fault immune data measurement system for electric submersible pumps. A data measurement system coupled to the ESP includes a surface unit coupled to a 3-phase power cable for providing power to a 3-phase motor of the ESP and a downhole unit coupled to the motor of the ESP and located downhole in a well. The downhole unit includes sensor and is configured to generate frequency modulated carrier signals for carrying the sensor data to the surface unit. Each of the frequency modulated carrier signals carries identical sensor data and is modulated to a different frequency. The carrier signals are shunted across the motor windings of the ESP motor and onto the 3-phase power cable via a capacitive coupling. Additionally, another carrier signal carrying control data may be transmitted from the surface unit to the downhole unit.Type: GrantFiled: July 28, 2013Date of Patent: May 24, 2016Assignee: Saudi Arabian Oil CompanyInventors: Jinjiang Xiao, Michael Manning

Publication number: 20150206241Abstract: A method and system for managing and facilitating communications among affiliants to financial instruments that otherwise are precluded from directly and optimally interacting via the Street Name System is provided. More particularly software-based tools are provided that allow immediate, identity-protected responses and dialogued messaging among parties that can be validated with respect to their affiliations when they interact. The platform also allows holder-to-holder communications, which is not currently possible within the Street Name System. It can facilitate interactions among all types of affiliants to a financial instrument whether issuer, holder, lawyer, service provider, or otherwise.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 21, 2014Publication date: July 23, 2015Inventors: Michael Manning, David Jefferds

Patent number: 8996603Abstract: A method is disclosed for determining a whether access to host requested by a user is permitted. User identifying information is obtained using any of a variety of techniques. The method includes determining a user domain, which indicates an identity of the user's home service provider. A list of hosts is determined based on the home provider. If the requested host is in the list of hosts, then the user is allowed access to the requested host though the user is not authorized. The list of hosts may be determined by one or more attributes from an actual or implied user profile, such as a domain name.Type: GrantFiled: August 16, 2005Date of Patent: March 31, 2015Assignee: Cisco Technology, Inc.Inventors: Chen Yehezkel Burshan, Michael Manning, Elad Goldberg

Patent number: 8407527Abstract: Hardware faults in data storage systems are diagnosed. User I/O errors are received. Disk drive port error counters, primary port error counters, and expansion port error counters are read. A user I/O error threshold is modified based on the error counter readings.
