Patent number: 11003521Abstract: A system is provided for decomposing events from managed infrastructures. A first engine is configured to receive message data from a managed infrastructure that includes managed infrastructure physical hardware that supports the flow and processing of information, The at least one engine is configured to determine common characteristics of events and produce clusters of events relating to the failure of errors in the managed infrastructure. Membership in a cluster indicates a common factor of the events that is a failure or an actionable problem in a physical hardware of the managed infrastructure directed to supporting the flow and processing of information. The first engine is configured to create one or more situations that is a collection of one or more events or alerts representative of the actionable problem in the managed infrastructure. A second engine is configured to determine one or more common steps from events and produces clusters relating to events.Type: GrantFiled: December 25, 2018Date of Patent: May 11, 2021Assignee: Moogsoft, Inc.Inventors: Philip Tee, Robert Duncan Harper

Patent number: 10884835Abstract: A user interface system includes an extraction engine in communication with a managed infrastructure. The extraction engine in operation receives messages from the managed infrastructure and produces events that relate to the managed infrastructure and converts the events into words and subsets used to group the events into clusters that relate to failures or errors in the managed infrastructure includes managed infrastructure physical hardware. The managed infrastructure supports the flow and processing of information. A sigalizer engine includes one or more of an NMF engine, a k-means clustering engine and a topology proximity engine. The sigalizer engine determines one or more common steps from events and produces clusters relating to events.

Patent number: 10791148Abstract: A system is in communication with a managed infrastructure comprising. At least a first engine one engine receives message data from managed infrastructure that includes managed infrastructure physical hardware that supports the flow and processing of information. The at least first engine one engine determines common characteristics of events, and produces clusters of events relating to the failure of errors in the managed infrastructure. A second engine uses a source address for each of an event and a graph topology of the managed infrastructure that represents a node to node connectivity and a graph coordinate for each of an event, with an optional subset of attributes extracted for each of an event. The second engine provides a list of connections between components or nodes in the managed infrastructure. A display computer system has a collaborative interface (UI) accessible by at least two parties for situations relative to clustered messages relating to the managed infrastructure.Type: GrantFiled: November 30, 2018Date of Patent: September 29, 2020Assignee: Moogsoft Inc.Inventors: Philip Tee, Robert Duncan Harper, Charles Mike Silvey

Publication number: 20200224513Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to an apparatus, a system and a process for regulating a wellhead control mechanism. The apparatus is configured to control actuation of a wellhead control mechanism by moving a moveable body of the apparatus between a first position and a second position. When the apparatus is in the first position a valve actuator is actuatable and when the apparatus is in the second position the valve actuator is physically interfered from actuating. When the apparatus is in the second position, the wellhead control mechanism cannot be actuated and is held in either an open, a partially open or a closed position. Other embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a system that directly controls actuation of a wellhead actuation mechanism.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 26, 2020Publication date: July 16, 2020Applicant: Intelligent Wellhead Systems Inc.Inventors: Bradley Robert Martin, Murad Mohammad, Sheldon Kryger, Robert Duncan

Patent number: 10419783Abstract: A system includes a processor and a memory. The memory stores instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations including sending, via a transmitter, a primary video stream corresponding to a particular channel to a media device. The operations further include sending a secondary video stream to the media device. The secondary video stream is associated with a lower quality level than the primary video stream. Transmission of a frame of the secondary video stream is delayed with respect to transmission of a corresponding frame of the primary video stream.Type: GrantFiled: April 19, 2017Date of Patent: September 17, 2019Assignee: AT&T INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY I, L.P.Inventors: Kadangode Ramakrishnan, Charles Robert Kalmanek, Jr., Robert Duncan Doverspike, William C.
