  • Patent number: 12261824
    Abstract: An application executing on an endpoint accesses remote resources using a gateway. In response to a requested remote access, the application may be marked with a descriptor that specifies a target action and a pattern of occurrences of the target action. When a second observable action on the endpoint includes the pattern of events following the first observable action, a reportable event may be generated indicating a compromised state of the endpoint. The gateway can then regulate usage of the remote resource based on the reportable event.

  • Publication number: 20250059733
    Abstract: A locking assembly for locking a ground engaging tool such as a point onto an adapter is disclosed. The locking assembly has a lock which can pivot between a locking position and a release position. The lock is biased into the locking position. The action of pushing the point onto the adapter moves the lock into its release position until the point is fully engaged on the adapter, when the lock returns to its locked position, now in engagement with a lock receiving recess in the adapter.

  • Publication number: 20240384637
    Abstract: A system for fracturing a plurality of wellbores on a multi-well pad includes multiple missiles, where each missile is configured to receive a high-pressure fracturing fluid from a plurality of pump trucks, where a high-pressure fracturing fluid includes substantially all components used for fracturing one or multiple wellbores. The system also includes a main manifold that receives the high-pressure fracturing fluids from the missiles, where the main manifold includes valves and output channels. The valves are operated to enable flow of the high-pressure fracturing fluids to different wellbores through the output channels to fracture the different wellbores.

  • Publication number: 20240183259
    Abstract: The present invention relates generally to processes for adding a chemical composition to a produced water mixture upstream of a pad related to a well to be fracked. The added chemical composition comprises a drag reducing agent, or a biocide, or a scale inhibitor, or any combination thereof. The produced water mixture comprising the added chemical composition may then be transferred in a pipeline to the well to be fracked. This offers a number of advantages that may include, for example, reducing the footprint at the pad, improved efficacy of biocide, reduced time to transfer produced water, and/or reduced pumping time during the fracking.

  • Publication number: 20240178468
    Abstract: A battery thermal runaway detection sensor system for use within a battery enclosure housing one or more batteries. The system has at least one gas sensor for detecting a venting condition of a battery cell of hydrogen, carbon monoxide or carbon dioxide, and providing a sensed output in real time. A microcontroller determines power management and signal conditioned output on the concentration of specific battery venting gases based on the sensed output from said at least one gas sensor.

  • Patent number: 11926997
    Abstract: A wear assembly such as an adapter for a cable shovel having a Whisler-style lip has two legs extending over the lip, and a hole in the legs arranged to align with a hole in the lip. A locking member is inserted in the hole, and hooked around a pivot surface in the lower leg. An actuator is inserted into the hole in the upper leg, and engages with t top end of the locking member. Movement of the actuator causes pivoting of the locking member, and results in the locking member bearing against the lip hole in order to lock the wear assembly in position.

  • Publication number: 20230412641
    Abstract: A threat management facility for an enterprise provides security services to a number of virtual compute instances executing on a remote cloud computing platform. In order to prevent or reduce an accumulation of records for abandoned compute instances, each new virtual compute instance is explicitly identified by a user (and optionally a template), and then compared to existing records to identify possible redundancies, which can be deleted or otherwise managed.

  • Publication number: 20230064096
    Abstract: A locking assembly for locking a ground engaging tool such as a shroud to a bucket lip. The bucket lip has a C-shaped boss fixed thereto. The ground engaging tool has a recess to receive a lock, the recess having an opening which is shorter in axial length than the recess. The lock is arranged to pivot about the boss as the ground engaging tool is slid rearwardly relative to the bucket lip. When the lock is located entirely within the recess, it can be accessed through a rear tunnel and tightened to hold the assembly in place.
