Title: A segment of pipe-in-pipe pipeline and the use of an acoustic transducer measurement system for the reduced pressure annulus
Inventor: JEAN-AURELIEN DAMOUR
IPC: F17D5/00
Filed: 2018-02-07
Abstract: A segment of pipe-in-pipe pipeline comprises an annulus 3 under reduced pressure, sealed and delimited by a metallic internal pipe 2 inserted into a metallic external pipe 1. A measurement system is situated in the annulus to determine in a non-intrusive manner the state of the annulus. The measurement system is composed of a first internal emitter/receiver assembly 4 which cooperates with means 10 to measure a first physical quantity such as pressure, hygrometry or temperature inside the annulus. The measurement system is further composed of a second external emitter/receiver assembly 5 on the opposite side of one of the pipes and facing the first assembly. Means 16 to locate the position of the first assembly can be located on the outer wall of the external pipe. The first and second assemblies can be acoustic transducers fixed to the inner and outer walls of the external pipe, or the outer and inner walls of the internal pipe, respectively. The transducers can be formed to fit the curvature of the wall of the pipe upon which they are fixed.

Abstract: A method 200 comprising navigating a vehicle to a charge location 230, 250 when: light received by the vehicle is below a threshold 210; and a vehicle charge level is below a threshold 210. The vehicle charge is one of current vehicle charge and a predicted charge level.

IPC: F04D29/42
Filed: 2018-04-13
Abstract: A semi-spherical entrainment type high flow self-priming centrifugal pump, comprising a semi-spherical entrainment system (1), a pump body (2), and a pump inlet pipe (3). The semi-spherical entrainment system (1) is disposed above the pump body (2), and comprises four entrainment cavities, i.e., a spherical surface entrainment inner cavity (21), a first level entrainment cavity (29), a second level entrainment cavity (13), and a third level entrainment cavity (11). The spherical surface entrainment inner cavity (21) is a double circular pipeline which rises in a spiral overlapping manner, wraps a semi-sphere, and increases the entrainment area while improving the entrainment capability. The first level entrainment cavity (29) is in communication with the second level entrainment cavity (13) and the third level entrainment cavity (11) by sliding a sliding thrust core (23) upwards. The second level entrainment cavity (13) performs entrainment on the gas in the pump inlet pipe (3), and the first level entrainment cavity (29) performs entrainment on the gas in a pump cavity. The self-priming centrifugal pump improves the conventional structure that a pump inlet pipeline is singly performed entrainment, improves the self-priming efficiency, and saves the self-priming time.

Title: Suspicious activity detection in computer networks
Inventor: Chul Sung
IPC: H04L29/06
Filed: 2019-08-21
Abstract: Methods and systems of classifying suspicious users are described. A processor may determine whether a domain name, of an email address of a user that requested to access a network, is valid. The processor may classify the user as a suspicious user if the domain name is invalid. If the domain name is valid, the processor may determine a likelihood that the email address is a script-generated email address. The processor may classify the user as a suspicious user if the email address is likely to be a script-generated email address. If the email address is unlikely to be a script-generated email address, the processor may identify abnormal usage behavior exhibited by the user based on a reference model. The processor may classify the user as a suspicious user if abnormal usage behavior is identified, and may reject a subsequent request from the user to access the network.
