Abstract: Storage scripting, executed by a processing device on a host machine, provides an indication of a masking view to a storage platform and receives a data array comprising an indication of a contents of the masking view. The storage scripting identifies at least one host machine from the contents of the masking view, sends a first command to the storage platform to identify storage devices associated with the at least one host machine and receives an indication of one or more storage devices associated with the at least one host machine. The storage scripting further sends a second command to the storage platform requesting a logical unit identifier associated with at least one of the one or more storage devices, receives the logical unit identifier, and updates the data array to reflect the logical unit identifier.

Abstract: Systems and methods described herein are configured for managing industrial assets. In an example embodiment, information about industrial assets or their use conditions, such as gathered from sensors embedded at or near industrial machines or assets themselves, can be aggregated, analyzed, and processed in software residing locally or remotely from the assets. In an example embodiment, applications can be provided to optimize an industrial asset for operation in a business context. In an example embodiment, a cloud-based asset management platform can include development tools to facilitate development, by end-users, of applications for interfacing with and optimizing industrial assets, and for managing relationships between various industrial assets.

Abstract: According to some embodiments, system and methods are provided comprising providing one or more applications that can be used by a processor; storing one or more data elements in one or more systems of record; providing a cache associated with the one or more applications; selecting a default cache expiration time via a caching mechanism; determining if the default cache expiration time is met in response to execution of a query associated with the one or more applications; retrieving one or more data elements from the one or more systems of record and transmitting the retrieved one or more data elements to a cache optimization module in response to execution of the query; retrieving one or more cache stored data elements from the cache and transmitting the retrieved one or more cache stored data elements to the cache optimization module in response to execution of the query; determining, via the cache optimization module, whether the retrieved one or more cache stored data elements are the same value as the

Abstract: An electronic product code information service (EPCIS) interface is provided, where the EPCIS interface is capable of allowing one or more accessing applications residing on a variety of systems and associated with a plurality of enterprises to receive EPC-related data. Also provided is an enterprise profile for each enterprise that is allowed to receive the EPC-related data. An enterprise is authenticated based on its enterprise profile. A query is performed to generate a result set that is within an extent permitted by access authorization associated with the authenticated enterprise. The result set is then provided to the EPCIS accessing application of that enterprise.

Abstract: An electronic product code information service (EPCIS) interface is provided, where the EPCIS interface is capable of allowing one or more accessing applications residing on a variety of systems and associated with a plurality of enterprises/organizations to receive EPC-related data. One or more roles of an entity attempting to receive EPC-related data through the interface may be identified. A query may be performed to generate a result set within an extent permitted by access authorization associated with the identified roles of the entity.

Abstract: An electronic product code information service (EPCIS) interface is provided, where the EPCIS interface allows accessing applications residing on a variety of systems and associated with a plurality of enterprises/organizations to receive EPC-related data. Also provided is a consumer security profile in which access authorization governing the extent of data collection and/or access by an entity to EPC-related consumer data is specified. Access by an accessing application may be allowed within an extent permitted by access authorization specified in the consumer security profile.

Abstract: An electronic product code information service (EPCIS) interface is provided that allows accessing applications residing on a variety of systems to receive EPC-related data. In setting up an insurance policy, the EPC-related data may be used to determine objects covered by the insurance policy and to valuate the covered objects. An insurance premium may be generated for the insurance policy based on this valuation. In addition, changes to the covered objects may be detected based on the EPC-related data and may be used to automatically adjust the insured value and/or insurance premium.

Abstract: An apparatus for selectively fracing a well includes a tubular body having an exterior surface, and an interior surface that defines an interior bore. An annular flow area that has at least one fluid flow port extends radially through the tubular body to permit fluids from the interior bore to pass through the at least one fluid flow port into a surrounding earth formation. An external sealing sleeve selectively covers the annular flow area. There is a pressure actuated sleeve shifting mechanism, where increasing pressure tending to cause axial movement of the external sealing sleeve. The axial movement is resisted until a pre-selected pressure threshold is reached to permit movement of the external sealing sleeve to open the at least one fluid flow port.
