Abstract: Virtual machine storage and runtime provisioning comprises accessing a base generalized reusable virtual machine image and configuring memory according to an instantiated copy of the base virtual machine image. Project specific content is accessed from a central content store configured to store content separately from the base machine image. The instantiated machine image and project specific content are linked at launch time to form a project specific functioning virtual machine. After completion of the project specific function, the project specific content is stored separately and the project specific functioning virtual machine is removed from memory. This minimizes use of virtual machine instances to only when needed and makes content available to other users. This also minimizes proliferation of unused project specific function virtual machine images, frees-up storage space, and enables easier automated maintenance of separately stored base virtual machine images and updating of the centralized plurality of project specific contents.

Abstract: Annotating content, comprising data values of one or more tags corresponding to a process device within a continuous process, with content descriptors in a historian system. Content descriptors enable indexing and saving content within a search service database for later retrieval by search strings that match the content descriptors. Content having one or more common content descriptors are retrieved and transmitted to a client computing device via a communications network for displaying in a dashboard on the client computing device.

Abstract: Providing double-buffered record locking in a database architecture. Double-buffered database records enable multiple parallel read locks substantially simultaneously with one write lock to eliminate lock collisions between the read locks and the write lock.

Abstract: First in, first out (FIFO) memory queue architecture enabling a plurality of writers and a single reader to use the queue without mutual exclusive locking. The FIFO queue is implemented using an array. A write counter value associated with the array provides a reservation value to each writer that is mutually exclusive of the value provided to every other writer. A read counter value associated with the array prevents writers from writing over data messages stored in the array that are yet to be read by the single reader.

Abstract: A field device for use in a process control system having embedded firmware stored in a a nonvolatile memory. The firmware includes computer-executable instructions for performing fixed behaviors and/or standard measurements as well as a runtime interpreter. The interpreter executes application specific code downloaded to the field device. When executed, the application specific code performs custom field device functions.

Abstract: A magnetic flowmeter includes a conduit and an electrical coil for generating a magnetic field extending through the conduit. A coil driver is configured to energize the coil and generate a periodically reversing magnetic field. Electrodes are arranged to detect voltages generated by flow of a conductive fluid through the magnetic field. A measurement system measures fluid flow rate using voltages detected by the electrodes. An empty conduit detector receives signals from the electrodes and determines whether or not the electrodes are immersed in the conductive fluid by analyzing the signals from the electrodes. The flowmeter optionally includes a low-flow verification system for distinguishing true low or zero flow rate measurements from measurements caused by the electrodes being exposed above the fluid level in the conduit by assessing whether or not EMF induced by magnetic flux change can be detected.

Abstract: A system for evaluating a flow rate measurement includes a flowmeter and a diagnostic system. The diagnostic system is configured to perform a diagnostic test for detecting a physical change in the flowmeter that could impair operation of the flowmeter, output a result of the diagnostic test, evaluate a reliability of the diagnostic test using information about a process condition, and output an indication of the reliability of the diagnostic test.

Abstract: A historian interface system provides a graphical representation of tags that represent attributes of a continuous process. A historian system stores the tags and metadata values describing the tags. A display device coupled to the historian system via a communication network displays graphical representations of the tags via display panels and receives selections of the tags. The historian system contextualizes selected tags based on the metadata values describing the selected tag and determines an optimal visualization scheme for the selected tags. The display device displays graphical representations of values of the tags and dynamically determines optimal grouping of the tags based on properties of the display device.

Abstract: A system for iteratively connecting flowsheet model components. Software instructions stored on a memory device and executable by a processor provide for the connection of flowsheet model components by, in response to a received connection indication from a user, suggesting potential connections in response to the connection indication. After further receiving a response from the user confirming the suggested potential connection, an output is rendered on the flowsheet workspace.
