  • Patent number: 11990992
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a storage device, for triggering an alarm during a sensor jamming attack. In one aspect, a monitoring system sensor unit is disclosed that includes a sensor, a communication unit configured to communicate with a monitoring system using a range of frequencies, and a jamming detection unit. The jamming detection unit may include a processor and a computer storage media storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations. The operations include detecting a sensor jamming event, selecting a different form of communication other than the range of radio frequencies for the communication unit to communicate with the monitoring system, and providing, to the communication unit, an instruction to communicate with the monitoring system using the form of communication, wherein the communication unit may communicate, to the monitoring system using the form of communication, the sensor data.

  • Publication number: 20240159323
    Abstract: The invention relates to an adjustable mechanical valve assembly used to control fluid flow in a pipe system that compresses air bubbles in the fluid to allow a more dense volume of fluid to exit the control valve. The valve assembly comprises a housing, a valve member, a spring member, and a retaining member. The spring member is configured to limit radial movement while allowing axial movement, thereby eliminating the need for a separate element (such as a rod) to limit radial movement.

  • Publication number: 20240146828
    Abstract: The present disclosure may use reverse forwarded socket connections and rules to manage program code that is being developed. Each developer responsible for developing program code may be provided unique login information that they may use to access data associated with a development environment. Validations of a user/developer and/or computer identity may be performed before a user is allowed to access and update sets of program code. Reverse forwarded socket connections may be associated with endpoints at a remote computer. Once a particular connection is established and a validation performed, identifiers may be used to direct communications to processes, sub-processes, virtual machines, or specific computing resources that are associated with the development environment. By using reverse forwarded socket connections, computers that run different types of operating system software may be used to develop program code without having to install specialized software on those computers.
