IPC: B66B9/08
Filed: 2019-08-06
Abstract: A stairlift 5 includes a control facility 31 configured to detect faults in the operation of the stairlift and assist users by issuing voice-based messages sucha s sugegstions of instructions for responding to a detected fault. The voice-based output may be delayed for a defined period after a fault is detected, the period may depend upon the particular fault. The fault may comprise the stairlift carriage 6 halting between stop points 8, 9 with the hand control 25 in an off position and the related output may be an instruction to a user to displace the hand control 25 to an operating position and an instruction not to dismount depending on a signal from a chair occupancy sensor 27. If the carriage 6 comes to a halt with the hand control 25 in an operating position the user may be instructed to contact a help provider and to follow a procedure to dismount. If safety pads 26 contact an obstruction and the carriage 6 stops or fails to move the user may be instructed to remove the obstruction and release the safety pad 26 or to reverse the carriage 6 away from the obstruction. Instructions may also be issued in the event one or more switches 29, 30 are in an off position or battery 13 voltage is low. An audible sound may issue to indicate a fault and the control facility 31 may issue voice-based output in response to communication from a remote communication device

First and second VNFs (405, 5 410, 415, 500, 505, 510) are initialised in the same network namespace as each other in user space in a host (400) and have access to a shared memory region of the host. The first VNF (405, 500) processes user traffic and the second VNF (410, 415, 505, 510) provides a user plane service in relation to user traffic processed by the first VNF (405, 500). The first VNF (405, 500) is used to establish a point-to-point, shared-memory 10 interface between the first and second VNFs (405, 410, 415, 500, 505, 510) and is used to classify incoming user traffic. In response to the first VNF (405, 500) determining, based on the classifying, that the incoming user traffic is to be subject to the user plane service, the first VNF (405, 500) is used to store the incoming user traffic in the shared memory region of the host (400) to enable the second VNF (410, 415, 505, 510) to 15 provide the user plane service in relation to the incoming user traffic.

Title: Micro invisible lost time in drilling operations
Inventor: ROBELLO SAMUEL
IPC: G06Q50/02
Filed: 2021-07-07
Abstract: A system for calculating and outputting micro invisible lost time (MILT). Instructions (210,Fig.2) are executed by a processor (204,Fig.2) to perform operations including receiving time-stamp data about a drilling operation including values of drilling parameters (302) associated with different time frames corresponding to a recorded data rate and classifying the values into a rig state that represents a status for the drilling operation and involves a plurality of rig activities (304). For each rig activity an actual completion time is determined (306) and is compared to an expected completion time (308) to determine a deviation for each rig activity. The deviation is a difference between the actual and expected completion times. Deviated activities are identified (310) as rig activities for which the deviation is greater than a pre-set threshold. The deviations are combined for the rig activities into MILT that represents invisible lost time (ILT) in one or more of the time frames corresponding to the recorded data rate (312). The MILT is outputted (314), which may be used for controlling the drilling operation. It may also be used for recommending retraining of operators. The outputting may be in the form of an alarm or a corrective action plan.

Title: Air moving device with bypass intake
Inventor: RAYMOND B AVEDON
IPC: F04D29/54
Filed: 2020-04-15
Abstract: An air moving device has a housing with a primary flow path and a secondary flow path that extends from a secondary inlet of the housing and empties into an inner outlet adjacent the primary flow path. An impeller assembly rotates a blade to cause air to enter the housing and flow along the primary flow path. The flow of air through the primary flow path creates a low pressure region at the inner outlet of the secondary flow path, causing air to flow through the secondary flow path and mix with the air in the primary flow path. The mixture of air flows through a downstream portion of the primary flow path having an expanded width compared to an upstream portion of the primary flow path and exits the housing. Stator vanes may extend longitudinally within the housing to cause columnar air flow. The device may be used for destratification of thermal gradients of air within an enclosure, such as a home or warehouse.

Title: Dynamically changing containerized workload isolation in response to detection of a triggering factor
Inventor: MANJUNATH KUMATAGI
IPC: H04L47/22
Filed: 2020-05-04
Abstract: Method, apparatus, and computer program product are provided for dynamically changing containerized workload isolation in response to detection of a triggering factor. In some embodiments, workload is containerized using a default container runtime (e.g., runC) that spawns one or more cgroup-based containers on a compute node using resource limiting capabilities of the compute node's host kernel including cgroups and namespaces. In some embodiments, in response to a triggering factor, such as a host kernel vulnerability, at least some of the containerized workload is migrated from running in the one or more cgroup-based containers to one or more virtual machines (VMs) launched by a standby container runtime (e.g., runV). In some embodiments, the cgroups and namespaces of the one or more cgroup-based containers are live migrated, without service interruption, to one or more VM runtimes on the one or more VMs using CRIU - checkpoint/restore in userspace.
