  • Patent number: 12591668
    Abstract: Security in a computing environment is enhanced by analyzing telemetry data from an agent on a device, along with user integrity information, to detect events that suggest compromised credentials. When such an event is detected, a risk level is assigned based on the analysis. This risk level is then correlated with a corresponding authentication difficulty level, which specifies the types and strengths of authentication mechanisms to be used. The selected authentication difficulty level is applied across multiple devices within the environment, enabling adaptive and dynamic protection against unauthorized access due to compromised credentials.

  • Publication number: 20260073048
    Abstract: Applications and processes executing on an endpoint are monitored to identify behavior indicative of malicious activity such as a ransomware attack. Messages generated from this monitoring as well as messages derived from external sources are stored in a queue for routing. A router selects some messages from the queue based on a routing policy and sends them to a cloud-based platform that can initiate various actions based on received messages. The router also sends some messages from the queue to a module that analyzes the messages and reduces their size by aggregating, correlating, and detecting relevant information. The module puts the modified messages back into the queue for further routing by the router according to the policy. Related apparatus, systems, techniques and articles are also described.

  • Patent number: 12467340
    Abstract: A system for generating electrical power may include a flowline having an inlet that receives reservoir fluid at a first pressure, an outlet that outputs the reservoir fluid at a second pressure, a first flow path between the inlet and the outlet, and a second flow path between the inlet and the outlet, in parallel with the first flow path. The difference between the first pressure and the second pressure may include a pressure differential, and the system may include a valve that adjusts the pressure differential. Additionally, the system may include a turbine disposed along the second flow path that generates mechanical energy from a flow of the reservoir fluid induced by the pressure differential, and the mechanical energy may be converted to electrical energy.

  • Patent number: 12320221
    Abstract: An apparatus includes a sensor for sensing pressure, temperature, or another physical parameter at a wellhead assembly or other oilfield component. In one embodiment, an apparatus includes a wellhead body and a branch assembly coupled to the wellhead body such that a bore of the branch assembly is in fluid communication with an interior of the wellhead body through an access passage of the wellhead body. The branch assembly includes a penetration extending outwardly from the bore to an exterior surface of the branch assembly that is radially outward of the bore, and a sensor is installed in the penetration of the branch assembly. Additional systems, devices, and methods are also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 12255519
    Abstract: A generator unit of a system for generating electrical power includes a generator coupled to a turbine. A flowline coupled to the generator unit conveys a fluid to an inlet of the turbine. A second flowline couples an outlet of the turbine and a tree of a well at a wellsite. The second flowline conveys the fluid from the outlet to the tree.

  • Patent number: 10281306
    Abstract: A flow meter system is disclosed that includes a first flow sensor and first and second fluid flow conduits extending from the first flow sensor. The second fluid flow conduit may be disposed inside the first fluid flow conduit thereby forming a fluid annulus between the first and second fluid flow conduits. The first fluid flow conduit may be metal to resist a fluid pressure differential and the second fluid flow conduit may be non-metal to balance a fluid pressure across the second fluid flow conduit and attenuate noise therein. The fluid annulus may be configured to receive a fluid to balance the fluid pressure across the second fluid flow conduit.
