  • Patent number: 11790354
    Abstract: The present disclosure involves systems, software, and computer implemented methods for a remittance system that pre-populates remittance data based on historical usage of remittance transactions. One example system includes operations to generate, using a predictive model, data indicating a predicted likelihood of a user selecting at least one data exchange transaction, wherein the data indicates the predicted likelihood of the user performing the at least one data exchange transaction. A request is received to access a remittance page. In response, the at least one data exchange transaction that was previously generated is selected from a repository of predicted likelihoods. Remittance data associated with a UI element is generated that includes the at least one data exchange transaction. The remittance data is transmitted to the device. An indication from the device is received for interacting with the UI element. The data exchange transaction is executed in response to receiving the indication.

  • Patent number: 11779788
    Abstract: Adjustable fire protection assemblies and methods are provided. The assembly includes a sprinkler having a body with an outer encasing surface and a deflector supported from the body. An escutcheon having a receiver and a rim surround the fire protection sprinkler to define an aperture between the receiver and the sprinkler. A push-to-connect fitting of the assembly includes a tubular member with an end for connection to a pipe and an internal conduit that receives the sprinkler body. A seal member and a retaining ring are disposed within the tubular member to form an adjustable seal and grip about the sprinkler body. A releasing member translates to disengage the retaining ring from the sprinkler body; and the escutcheon translates with respect to the tubular member in a sliding surface engagement to define an adjustable deflector-to-rim distance between the rim of the escutcheon and the deflector of the sprinkler.

  • Publication number: 20230313627
    Abstract: A milling system may be used to remove the portions of a failed valve that is blocking the wellbore. When milling a partially open valve obstructing the wellbore, the target material to be removed may not be present at the central axis of the wellbore causing the target material to not fully surround the milling bit, which may cause the bit to be deflected away from the target during milling reducing milling efficiency. The disclosed milling system may be used to mill out and capture the coupon for any downhole obstruction that does not have any material near the center axis of the wellbore. A first embodiment of the milling sytem may be configured to fully mill out material within the wellbore while a second embodiment may be used to mill out material within the wellbore and further catch the milled material or coupon.

  • Publication number: 20230066142
    Abstract: Examples described herein include systems and methods associated with a mechanical service tool. In one example, the service tool includes a power jar, an accelerator, and a linear actuator. The accelerator can be coupled to the power jar and provide assistance to the power jar. The linear actuator can be coupled to the accelerator and configured such to pull the accelerator spring within the accelerator with a force sufficient to fire the power jar. When the power jar is in a released state, the linear actuator can also be used to pull or pull the entire accelerator and power jar assembly, which in turn can push or pull the target object within the wellbore. The linear actuator can also be used to move the power jar from a released state to a set state.
