Publication number: 20240116207Abstract: A sealant spreader device fills voids around a drilled hole with sealant in glued-in-rod (GIR) structures. A liquid sealant may be applied to the base of a drilled hole. A sealant spreader device is then inserted to the base of the drilled hole, through the sealant. The sealant spreader device is then withdrawn while rotating. The sealant spreader device includes winged sections having contours which force the sealant radially outward toward walls of the hole, into any voids around the circumference of the drilled hole, and leaves a thin layer of sealant around the circumference of the drilled hole.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 6, 2022Publication date: April 11, 2024Applicant: Simpson Strong-Tie Company Inc.Inventors: Steven E.

Patent number: 11933179Abstract: An extraction well system is disclosed that allows for isolation of electrical cables from underground mine atmosphere. The extraction well system provides for a well casing that extends downwardly proximate to an existing mine cavity and an extension casing that extends downwardly below the mine roof. In one embodiment the extension casing is external to the well casing and is attached to the well casing mechanically such as with a dual thread reducer. The extension runs from above the mine roof to below the mine floor and is perforated in the area of the mine cavity to allow liquid to drain into the bottom of the extension well. In a second embodiment, the extension casing is interior to the well casing and is attached for example by an internal liner hanger. In this embodiment, the extension casing runs from above the mine roof to below the desired minimum liquid level and it is the well casing that extends downwardly in the extension well and which is perforated to allow liquids to flow into the well.Type: GrantFiled: September 16, 2022Date of Patent: March 19, 2024Assignee: GENESIS ALKALI WYOMING, LPInventors: Adam Clark Anderson, Aaron P.

Patent number: 11921697Abstract: Disclosed are implementations that include a method for detecting anomalous data, including converting a set of data values representative of a multi-dimensional item into a nodes-and-edges graph representation of the item, applying a graph convolution process to the graph representation to generate a transformed graph representation for the item comprising a resultant transformed configuration of the nodes and edges representing the item, and determining, based on the transformed configuration, a probability that the item is anomalous. Another example method includes receiving input data at a neural network circuit comprising a plurality of node layers, with each of the plurality of node layers comprising respective one or more nodes, with the neural network circuit further comprising adjustable weighted connections connecting at least some nodes in different layers of the plurality of node layers. The method further includes removing one or more of the weighted connections at one or more time instances.Type: GrantFiled: November 20, 2020Date of Patent: March 5, 2024Assignee: Fraud.net, Inc.Inventors: Louizos Alexandros Louizos, Ayaan Chaudhry, Gary Plunkett, Oliver Clark, Cathy Ross, R.
