  • Publication number: 20240125196
    Abstract: A wellhead assembly includes a containment system having a mechanical barrier, a tertiary wiper, and a fluid jet assembly. A mechanical barrier includes a body disposed in a housing, the body having an opening extending through an axial thickness of the body. A tertiary wiper has an elastomeric body with a hole extending centrally therethrough. A fluid jet assembly includes a jet assembly body having a wall defining a cavity extending axially through the jet assembly body and an array of nozzles positioned circumferentially around the wall, wherein each nozzle has an outlet directed in a radially inward direction from the wall toward a central region in the cavity. The components of the containment system are arranged an axially stacked arrangement relative to each other.

  • Patent number: 10223084
    Abstract: A quantum compiler is provided. The quantum compiler may generate, based on a text-based programmer input, an executable Hamiltonian for a quantum computer such as a quantum annealing computer or an adiabatic quantum computer. The quantum compiler may generate the program Hamiltonian by generating Hamiltonian phrases corresponding to portions of the programmer input and combining the Hamiltonian phrases. Various terms and values in the program Hamiltonian may correspond to physical features of the quantum computer so that the quantum computer can be operated, based on the program Hamiltonian, such that a low energy state of the quantum computer corresponds to the low energy state of the Hamiltonian.
