Abstract: Disclosed systems and methods for centrally managing distributed edge server resources may create a host folder, associate the host folder with an element manager, add one or more edge servers to the host folder, and manage the one or more edge servers with an edge server management system running in the applicable instance of the element manager. The host folder may be created from either a server manager UI or from an element manager UI. An edge server may be added to a host folder by invoking a UI of the element manager UI. Managing the one or more edge servers may include performing health monitoring of the edge servers as well as version checking and upgrading of the edge servers. An edge server agent may be deployed in the edge server to receive change events published by the edge server and redirect the change events to an element manager system.

Abstract: Disclosed are an aromatic amine derivative and an organic electroluminescent device including the same. A fluorenyl/silafluorenyl group having an ortho-substituted group is introduced into the structure of the aromatic amine derivative. The aromatic amine derivative may be used as a light-emitting material in a light-emitting layer of an organic electroluminescent device. These novel compounds can provide better device performance.

The one-way clutch train includes a shaft-to-shaft clutch coupled between inner and outer surfaces of the pump and motor shafts and a shaft to housing clutch coupled between an outer surface of one of the pump and motor shafts and an outer housing.

Abstract: An electrical submersible pump has a stack of diffusers within the housing, each of the diffusers having a conical upper shoulder and a conical lower shoulder. The lower shoulder of each of the diffusers is in abutment with the upper shoulder of an adjacent one of the diffusers. The upper and lower shoulders of each of the diffusers slope downward and outward relative to the axis. Impeller hubs have conical upper and lower ends. At least some of the upper ends of the hubs abut and transfer up thrust to the lower end of an adjacent one of the hubs. At least some of the lower ends of the hubs abut and transfer down thrust to the upper end of an adjacent one of the hubs.

Abstract: An electrical submersible well pump assembly (ESP) has a spring brake having helical turns mounted between the shaft and one of the housings. The spring brake allows free rotation of the shaft in a driving direction and stops the shaft from rotating in a reverse direction. The spring brake may have one end be affixed to the housing to rotate in unison in both directions. Alternately, the spring brake may have one end affixed to the shaft for rotation with the shaft. Further, the spring brake could be free of being connected to either the shaft or the housing. A shear member may be mounted between the shaft and the housing to prevent any rotation of the shaft during run-in.

Abstract: A submersible well pump has a rotatable drive shaft extending through pump stages. Each of the stages has a diffuser, an impeller and a bushing fixed for non-rotation in the diffuser. A thrust member has a lower side in sliding rotating engagement with the upward facing surface of the bushing. The bushing and the thrust member are of a harder material than the diffuser and the impeller. A drive member of a softer material than the thrust member is in engagement with the thrust member and has a drive member bore through which the shaft extends. A key extends through the shaft groove, the impeller groove and the drive member groove to cause the impeller and thrust member to rotate with the shaft.

Abstract: A pumping system includes a motor and a drive shaft configured for rotation by the motor. The pumping system includes an upper pump positioned above the motor, an upper pump shaft and an upper directional coupling connected between the drive shaft and the upper pump shaft. The upper directional coupling is configured to lock the upper pump shaft to the drive shaft when the drive shaft is rotated in a first direction. The pumping system further includes a lower pump positioned below the motor, a lower pump shaft, and a lower directional coupling connected between the drive shaft and the lower pump shaft. The lower directional coupling is configured to lock the lower pump shaft to the drive shaft when the drive shaft is rotated in a second direction.

Abstract: Systems and methods for monitoring and suppressing a back EMF generated by an ESP motor when the ESP system is moved in a well. Embodiments provide both electrical braking to reduce the rotation of the motor (and corresponding back EMF) and warnings to alert users to hazardous conditions caused by the back EMF. One embodiment includes an ESP system having a permanent magnet motor, a back EMF safety system, and a power cable connected between them. The proximal ends of the cable's conductors are connected terminals of the back EMF safety system, which has switches that are closed to short circuit the conductors so that back EMF currents from rotation of the motor induce electrical braking in the motor. Currents and phase-to-phase voltages on the conductors are monitored to detect overcurrent and overvoltage conditions that may trigger alarms or other actions.

A bearing mounts in the housing and has a shaft passage through which the shaft extends. A sensor hole extends through the housing and into the bearing.

Abstract: An electrical submersible well pump assembly has shaft couplings. One of the couplings has a lower hub that rotates in unison with the motor shaft and an upper hub that rotates in unison with the pump shaft. A helical spring clutch engages both hubs when the motor shaft is being driven by the motor. Ceasing driving rotation of the motor shaft causes the spring clutch to disengage from the upper hub, enabling the pump shaft to rotate the upper hub without rotating the lower hub.

Abstract: An auto-engageable coupling is disclosed for use in a pumping system that includes an electric motor and a pump driven by the electric motor. The auto-engageable coupling permits the transfer of torque from the motor to the pump, but prevents the pump from applying torque to the motor. In some embodiments, the auto-engageable coupling includes a drive plate connected to a motor shaft and a reaction plate connected to an output shaft. The drive plate and reaction plate are only coupled together to transmit torque from the motor to the pump when the motor is activated and rotating in a first, intended direction. When the motor is not activated and the pump is forced to rotate in a first direction, the drive plate and the reaction plate are disengaged to prevent the delivery of torque from the pump to the motor.

Abstract: Examples of the present disclosure provide systems and methods relating to a machine comprehension test with a learning-based approach, harnessing neural networks arranged in a parallel hierarchy. This parallel hierarchy enables the model to compare the passage, question, and answer from a variety of perspectives, as opposed to using a manually designed set of features. Perspectives may range from the word level to sentence fragments to sequences of sentences, and networks operate on word-embedding representations of text. A training methodology for small data is also provided.

Abstract: Described herein are systems and methods for providing a natural language comprehension system that employs a two-stage process for machine comprehension of text. The first stage indicates words in one or more text passages that potentially answer a question. The first stage outputs a set of candidate answers for the question, along with a first probability of correctness for each candidate answer. The second stage forms one or more hypotheses by inserting each candidate answer into the question and determines whether a sematic relationship exists between each hypothesis and each sentence in the text. The second processing circuitry generates a second probability of correctness for each candidate answer and combines the first probability with the second probability to produce a score that is used to rank the candidate answers. The candidate answer with the highest score is selected as a predicted answer.
