  • Patent number: 11914972
    Abstract: Data processing apparatuses, methods of data processing, complementary instructions and programs related to ring buffer administration are disclosed. An enqueuing operation performs an atomic compare-and-swap oper-ation to store a first processed data item indication to an enqueuing-target slot in the ring buffer contingent on an in-order marker not being present there and, when successful, determines that a ready-to-dequeue condition is true for the first processed data item indication. A dequeuing operation, when the ready-to-de-queue condition for a dequeuing-target slot is true, comprises writing a null data item to the dequeuing-target slot and, when dequeuing in-order, further comprises, dependent on whether a next contiguous slot has null content, determining a retirement condition and, when the retirement condition is true, performing a retirement process on the next contiguous slot comprising making the next con-tiguous slot available to a subsequent enqueuing operation.

  • Patent number: 11906630
    Abstract: Systems and methods for determining elevation based on structural modeling and light detection and ranging (LIDAR) data are disclosure. LIDAR bare earth data corresponding to an area within a parcel boundary is obtained as preliminary elevation data. A basis of structure boundary is determined for a structure within the parcel boundary based on an absence of the LIDAR bare earth data within a region in the area. Three-dimensional models are generated based on photographic data, to represent portions of the structure that affect LIDAR signals. A structure boundary for the structure is determined based on the basis of structure boundary in combination with supplemental elevation data generated using the three-dimensional models. Adjacent grade values are determined based on a portion of the preliminary elevation data and supplemental elevation data corresponding to an area between the structure boundary and a buffer boundary.

  • Patent number: 11897102
    Abstract: A hydraulic screw tensioning device includes a tubular body, with a through opening and an annular cylinder chamber surrounding the through opening and a tubular piston movably supported in the tubular body and connectable to a screw to be tensioned. The tubular piston includes a stepped outer portion and divides the annular cylinder chamber into a first pressure chamber and a second pressure chamber. The second pressure chamber is closed by an annular end cap secured to the tubular body. The first pressure chamber is connectable to a pressure source for hydraulic fluid. The second pressure chamber is connectable to a pressure source for a compressible medium via a conduit connector mounted on the annular end cap. The conduit connector extends radially in relation to a geometric axis (A-A) of the tubular body. A damage protecting structure is provided to protect the conduit connector against accidental physical damage.

  • Publication number: 20240044738
    Abstract: Apparatuses and methods for compressed fluid vessel monitoring can permit a user to more easily order replacement vessels, monitor use, monitor inventory and return empty vessels. Embodiments can utilize a collar connectable to a vessel to help facilitate such functionality. The collar can be adapted to transmit signals to a data processing system. The data processing system can be adapted to permit a user to track the location and fill status of the vessel as well as order a replacement vessel and disposal or return of an empty vessel. Instrumented vessels can also convey sensor data to help identify a leak condition or other condition of the vessel. In some embodiments, the data processing system can be adapted for integration into a user's inventory system and/or purchasing system as well as a supplier's system to facilitate communications concerning vessel fill status, reorder, and/or vessel return.

  • Publication number: 20240044261
    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a gas turbine engine assembly having a compressor configured to increase pressure of incoming air, a combustion chamber, at least one turbine coupled to a generator, a torsional damper, and a controller. The combustion chamber is configured to receive a pressurized air stream from the compressor. Further, fuel is injected into the pressurized air in the combustion chamber and ignited so as to raise a temperature and energy level of the pressurized air. The turbine is operatively coupled to the combustion chamber so as to receive combustion products that flow from the combustion chamber. The generator is coupled to the turbine via a shaft. Thus, the torsional damper is configured to dampen torsional oscillations of the generator. Moreover, the controller is configured to provide additional damping control to the generator.

  • Publication number: 20240031156
    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to message verification. A computing platform may generate a cryptographic key pair comprising a public key and a private key. The computing platform may publish, to a server, the public key. The computing platform may generate a short message service (SMS) message. The computing platform may sign, using the private key, the SMS message, which may include computing a cryptographic hash of the SMS message using the private key and embedding the cryptographic hash in an SMPP field of the SMS message. The computing platform may send, to a downstream computing system, the signed SMS message, where the downstream computing system may be configured to validate the signed SMS message using the cryptographic hash embedded in the SMPP field of the SMS message and by accessing the public key.

  • Patent number: 11871235
    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to providing secure shortened URLs in character-limited messages. A computing platform may receive one or more character-limited messages sent to a user device. The computing platform may detect a URL within the one or more character-limited messages for replacement and generate a shortened URL corresponding to the detected URL, wherein a domain of the shortened URL is hosted by the message security system. The computing platform may then modify the one or more character-limited messages by replacing the URL with the shortened URL, and then cause transmission of the modified one or more character-limited messages to the user device. Next, the computing platform may receive, from the user device, a request to access the shortened URL, and redirect the user device to the detected URL corresponding to the shortened URL.
