  • Patent number: 12634295
    Abstract: Systems and methods for time bound session management for Operational Technology (OT) applications using Cron expression policies over zero trust. Various embodiments include receiving a request to an end system from a user; determining that the request requires a time-based approval; performing one or more time-based policy checks associated with the request; and allowing or denying the request based on the one or more time-based policy checks. The steps can further include monitoring an active session between the user and the end system; and timing out the active session based on time-based policy checks.

  • Publication number: 20260103964
    Abstract: A fluid recovery system is configured to assist with the recovery of hydrocarbons or other fluids from a well. The fluid recovery system includes an electric submersible pumping system, a chemical injection system and an integrated control system. The electric submersible pumping system includes an electric motor, a pump driven by the electric motor and a motor drive configured to control the operation of the electric motor. The electric submersible pumping system includes a signal processing module that is configured to detect a sand slugging event by identifying a sand slugging signature in frequency spectrums derived from the current drawn by the motor from the motor drive. The integrated control system is configured to automatically cause the chemical injection system to increase the injection of treatment chemicals into the well if a sand slugging event is detected.
