Abstract: Apparatus for providing digital content based upon a geospatial location. A handheld smart device with a controller and digital storage uses programmable code executable upon command to cause the smart device to transceive a request for digital content from a transceiver located at a specific geospatially defined area. The geospatial position of the smart device is determined using ultra-wideband (UWB) wireless communications. Pertinent digital content is selected based on the geospatial position and the user's need for accessing the information, using artificial intelligence (AI). An interactive user interface on the smart device combines real-world and virtual content. The interactive user interface may be dynamically updated based on the user's location, orientation, and display selected digital. Sensor data from IoT sensors located at the geospatial position may be included in the interface and associated with virtual tags. Multifactor authentication may control access to the digital content.

A downstream seal is disposed between downstream opposing faces of the first seat and the first pocket, these downstream opposing faces being perpendicular to the bore axis, and the downstream seal is configured to prevent fluid moving from the cavity toward the flow bore in a direction perpendicular to the bore axis.

Abstract: Embodiments are generally directed to managing power consumption of powered devices. In some embodiments, the powered devices draw power from a common source of power, which is limited. Under certain circumstances, exceeding the power limits can cause interruption of power to one or more of the devices, thus introducing a source of communication failures. To ensure reliable communications, an attempt to increase a power consumption of a first powered device in a power group is first reviewed to determine if the increase will cause a supplied power of the group to exceed a maximum power of the group. If the increase will cause the maximum power to be exceeded, the increase is modified, in some circumstances, to fit within the maximum power level. Alternatively, power consumption of a lower priority device is reduced to accommodate the requested power consumption increase.
