Abstract: In some aspects, an edge-based data collection system discovers, collects, processes, and forwards data in an observability pipeline system. In some implementations, an edge agent of the observability pipeline system runs on a computer node. The edge agent identifies processes running on the computer node; identifies files on the computer node that the processes have opened for writing; accesses log discovery parameters of the observability pipeline system; selects a plurality of files from the identified files according to the log discovery parameters; generates a list of discovered log files that includes a path and a name for each of the plurality of files; adds the list of discovered log files to a list of monitored log files to be monitored by the observability pipeline system; and then monitors the plurality of files to generate input for the observability pipeline system.

Abstract: A system for asset inventory and management that includes a data input module, an asset storage database, a search module, and a display module is provided. The data input module can be used to input asset data, location data, and container data, the location data and the container data associated with the asset data. The asset storage database can have asset data and/or location data stored therewithin and the search module can search for and select at least part of the asset data and the location data as a function of one or more input search parameters. The display module can display at least part of the asset data and the location data selected by the search module.

Abstract: An automated case erecting apparatus for use in erecting case blanks includes a case blank feeder configured to hold a plurality of upstanding case blanks arranged face-to-face. The case blank feeder includes a path along which the case blanks are directed. A case erecting assembly receives a case blank from the case blank feeder at a case receiving location. The case erecting assembly includes a first arm carrying a first gripper element and a second arm carrying a second gripper element. The first arm and associated first gripper element are arranged and configured such that the first gripper element grips a first flap of the case blank. The second arm and associated second gripper element are arranged and configured such that the second gripper element grips a second flap of the case blank.

Abstract: A remotely-operated selective fracing system and valve. The valve comprises a casing with at least one casing hole; an inner sleeve nested within the casing and having at least one sleeve hole alignable with the at least one casing hole; actuator means engagable with the inner sleeve for moving the inner sleeve relative to the casing to selectively align the at least one sleeve hole with the at least one casing hole; and receiver means electrically connected to the actuator means and having a sensor for detecting a seismic or electromagnetic signal generated by a remote source. The system further includes source means for generating an acoustical signal receivable by the receiver means.

Abstract: A front structure of a motor vehicle increases the energy transfer and dissipation thereof within the front structure upon impact with another object. The front structure includes right and left front side frame members (12, 14) each having a front end (24,26). Right and left front spring hangers (34, 36) extend downward from the front side frame members at a point substantially adjacent to the front ends and each include a bottom end (58) having a mounting flange (56) thereon. A cross member (20) extends transversely within the motor vehicle, having right and left cross member ends (62) attached to the mounting flange (56).
