Patent number: 11921608Abstract: A device may receive activity data identifying activities of a process performed by users via user devices. The device may receive baseline data identifying baselines associated with the process and variant data identifying variants from the baselines. The device may apply a sequence alignment model, to the activity data and the baseline data, to determine first similar sequences associated with the activities and the baselines and may apply the sequence alignment model, to the activity data and the variant data, to determine second similar sequences associated with the activities and the variants. The device may determine, based on the first similar sequences, first label data identifying first labels for the activities and may determine, based on the second similar sequences, second label data identifying second labels for the activities. The device may generate a process diagram based on the activity data, the first label data, and the second label data.Type: GrantFiled: October 29, 2021Date of Patent: March 5, 2024Assignee: Accenture Global Solutions LimitedInventors: Jeroen Van Den Heuvel, Myrto Maria Karachontziti, Pradyumna Moderahalli Krishna Prasad, Jeroen Rook, Jan Welscheid, Mohamed Amine Bourkhiss, Marek Bezaniuk, Matus Kovac, Nguyen Nhat Huy, Richard Leo Joseph Hendrick Claus, Hanneke Daniƫlle Henders Ten Hove, Cyrille Bataller, Vitalie Schiopu, Kalyanam Vamshi Krishna

Publication number: 20230323957Abstract: Technologies are generally described for perimeter seated knife gate valve. Perimeter and transverse seals may be formed together as a single-piece or as two separate pieces. Wire-reinforced and with a rectangular cross section, the perimeter seal (portion) may fit into a corresponding groove in the single-piece body of the valve. Transverse seal (portion) may include two channels formed as side grooves or tubular channels to accept packing material, which energize the seal and are isolated from the fluid stream. In the two-piece version, a bottom groove of the transverse seal may be used to interlock both pieces. The shape and structure of the seal may allow single-piece valve body.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 27, 2020Publication date: October 12, 2023Applicant: ITT MANUFACTURING ENTERPRISES LLCInventors: Richard KOVACS, Jeremy CARROLL, Randy BATES
