  • Publication number: 20230410024
    Abstract: A method for managing oilfield water. Oilfield water data is grouped into discrete and non-overlapping groups. Outliers are removed from the data. Features of the remaining data are analyzed to identify most discriminative feature. The data is separated into training data and testing data, and the training data is fit into a model that shows the best precision, accuracy and recall. The model is confirmed using the testing data. Upon confirmation of the accuracy of the model, the model is applied to data for a new proposed oilfield well, and a new proposed project is implemented or disapproved based on a result of the identified model that predicts water production of the new proposed oilfield well.

  • Publication number: 20210244005
    Abstract: An aquaculture system can include an aquafarm with one or more aquatic pods of aquatic organisms and a remote device to manage the aquafarm. An aquatic pod may be associated with an aquatic structure with a buoyancy system and a control device to automatically perform daily farming functions. The aquatic structure may include an enclosure to hold the aquatic organisms. The control device may be configured to use a smart buoyancy assistant to control the buoyancy system and to determine the farming task to perform in response to environmental stimuli. The remote device can receive data representing crop metrics, harvest results, and sensor data. The remote device can aggregate data from multiple aquatic pods and correlate the data to generate aquaculture models to improve the harvest results. The remote device can generate overview and maintenance reports for the aquafarm.

  • Patent number: 10752393
    Abstract: A human tissue isolation pouch for use with a sealer machine to indirectly seal human tissue medical pouches while avoiding cross contamination is herein disclosed. The human tissue isolation pouch comprises a rigid frame supporting a high temperature material and having one or more magnets for removably attaching the human tissue isolation pouch to a sealer machine. During use a medical pouch, which may contain a human tissue sample, is inserted within the human tissue isolation pouch. The jaws of the sealer machine clamp down directly on the high temperature material, thus indirectly heating and sealing the medical pouch inside the human tissue isolation pouch. The sealing machine jaws do not physically contact the medical pouch at any time during the sealing process, and in this way contamination of the sealer machine (and cross contamination of medical pouches from distinct donor cases) is avoided. The rigid frame of the human tissue isolation pouch may be sterilized after each donor event.

  • Publication number: 20190367143
    Abstract: A diving system can include a smart buoyancy assistant to automatically adjusts the amount of air in the buoyancy control device (BCD) to maintain buoyancy control during the descent, level hold, or ascent of a dive. In some instances, the smart buoyancy assistant is automatically activated when the system is submerged to a predetermined activation depth. Additionally, the smart buoyancy assistant can add air to the BCD if the system drops below a predetermined maximum depth. The system can capture data representing dive metrics and sensor data and can report such data to a computing device to further aggregate the data and generate dive models to improve the performance of the system. The computing device can use the aggregated data to perform dive analysis and determine if the system is over or under adjusting the amount of air to improve the dive models.

  • Publication number: 20180328813
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a device and method for inspecting and monitoring the seal integrity and/or seal strength of sterile medical packages, and more particularly, to a medical package sealer device having integrated vacuum decay or differential pressure testing allowing for real-time seal strength or integrity testing of each medical package sealed by the device. The present invention may also be described as a method for sealing and testing medical packages. By communicatively coupling the mass flow meter(s) to the processor of the herein disclosed device for sealing medical packages with integrated real-time seal integrity vacuum decay or differential pressure testing, each sealed package may be tested for a quantitative measure of air flow, and the quantitative measure of air flow may be recorded and stored in a searchable database, or used to provide a notification to an operator or to stop operation of the system.
