Abstract: This disclosure discusses systems, methods, and techniques for producing and utilizing a capability region of one or more monitored equipment. To do so, an intelligent electronic device (IED) may access a data set of one or more known performance characteristics of the monitored equipment. The known performance characteristics are based on, or dependent of, one or more variables. The IED may also access a constraint library with geometric primitives. Then, the IED may analyze the data set and may produce the capability region using the geometric primitive. The IED may compare an operating point of the monitored equipment to the capability region of the monitored equipment. Based on the comparison, the IED may implement a control action.

Abstract: An extraction device for use in servicing a pump having a pump housing with a first side, a second side, and a channel extending between the first side and second side. A plunger is located within the channel, and the channel has a threaded opening at the first side. The device includes an externally threaded plug and a driving component selectively extending through the plug. The device is anchored to the pump housing by threading the plug into the threaded opening at the first side. The driving component is then extended into the channel, through and beyond the plug, to engage the plunger and push it out of the housing at the second side.

Abstract: A pipe carrying device for effectively gripping and transporting a pipe between a pair of users. The pipe includes a pair of elongated rods extending along a rod axis and a bend defined by the rod extending downwardly away from the rod axis. The rods are pivotally coupled at an outboard hinge located at the bend. The hinge includes a hinge axis round which the rods are configured to pivot. Each rod further includes at least one associated hemispheric clamp, the clamps forming a cylinder when the device is in a gripping position. The cylinder has a clamp axis extending parallel to the hinge axis and perpendicular to the rod axis. The device is biased towards the gripping position via the upward rotation of the rods, urging the clamps towards each other for securely holding and carrying the pipe within the cylinder when oriented therein.
