Patent number: 11632679Abstract: A cross reality system enables any of multiple devices to efficiently and accurately access previously stored maps and render virtual content specified in relation to those maps. Both stored maps and tracking maps used by portable devices may have wireless fingerprints associated with them. The portable devices may maintain wireless fingerprints based on wireless scans performed repetitively, based on one or more trigger conditions, as the devices move around the physical world. The wireless information obtained from these scans may be used to create or update wireless fingerprints associated with locations in a tracking map on the devices. One or more of these wireless fingerprints may be used when a previously stored map is to be selected based on its coverage of an area in which the portable device is operating. Maintaining wireless fingerprints in this way provides a reliable and low latency mechanism for performing map-related operations.Type: GrantFiled: October 15, 2020Date of Patent: April 18, 2023Assignee: Magic Leap, Inc.Inventors: Gilboa Shveki, Ben Weisbih, Ofer Kapota, Rafael Domingos Torres, Daniel Olshansky, Joel David Holder

Patent number: 11553030Abstract: Disclosed herein is a system configured to implement a service worker capable of serving multiple single page applications (SPAs) that are hosted in the same uniform resource locator (URL) space (e.g., a domain within which the SPAs are hosted). Accordingly, the defined scope of the service worker is no longer bound by only one SPA, but rather by a root directory of a web site that hosts multiple SPAs. Since the service worker described herein serves multiple SPAs, the service worker implements an approach to ensure that a correct application controller corresponding to the SPA that hosts a URL is invoked. To do this, the service worker is configured to leverage a router and a routing table to associate a URL included in a request from a browser with the correct application controller corresponding to the SPA that hosts the URL for which the request is sent.Type: GrantFiled: July 31, 2020Date of Patent: January 10, 2023Assignee: MICROSOFT TECHNOLOGY LICENSING, LLCInventors: Aninda Ray, Dennis Joel David Myren, Isha Verma, Zhi Liu, Zhenguang Chen, John D.

Patent number: 11401788Abstract: A method and system of producing fluid from a well with a gas lift system that includes a virtual plunger made from a plunger forming material. The virtual plunger is formed downhole by injecting the plunger forming material directly into a column of liquid inside production tubing and from an annulus that circumscribes the production tubing. The flow of plunger forming material into the production tubing is controlled by an injection valve intersecting a sidewall of the production tubing. The plunger forming material is added to the annulus from the surface, and enough is added so its upper level is above the injection valve. Adding injection gas to the production tubing below the virtual plunger pushes the virtual plunger and column of liquid to surface. The plunger forming material has properties so that the virtual plunger remains cohesive while traveling uphole.Type: GrantFiled: January 29, 2021Date of Patent: August 2, 2022Assignee: SILVERWELL TECHNOLOGY LTD.Inventor: Joel David Shaw

Patent number: 11326425Abstract: A lift gas injection system that is used for introducing lift gas into a stream of production fluid includes a lift gas injection valve. A pressure protection system guards the injection valve against external overpressure by blocking communication to inside the injection valve housing when ambient pressure exceeds a set pressure. Communication is blocked by moving a valve member so that it obstructs flow through an opening in the housing. The system includes pressure actuated valve which has a platen mounted to an end of a bellows, and a valve member coupled to the platen. Surface area is reduced on the bellows side of the platen that creates a force imbalance on the platen from applied ambient pressure. At the set pressure the force imbalance moves the platen, and which pushes the valve member against the opening. A compressible pressure compensator inside the injection valve protects against internal overpressure.Type: GrantFiled: March 17, 2020Date of Patent: May 10, 2022Assignee: SILVERWELL TECHNOLOGY LTDInventors: Peter John Watson, Joel David Shaw
