Abstract: Examples of augmented reality (AR) environment control advantageously employ multi-factor intention determination and include: performing a multi-factor intention determination for summoning a control object (e.g., a menu, a keyboard, or an input panel) using a set of indications in an AR environment, the set of indications comprising a plurality of indications (e.g., two or more of a palm-facing gesture, an eye gaze, a head gaze, and a finger position simultaneously); and based on at least the set of indications indicating a summoning request by a user, displaying the control object in a position proximate to the user in the AR environment (e.g., docked to a hand of the user). Some examples continue displaying the control object while at least one indication remains, and continue displaying the control object during a timer period if one of the indications is lost.

Abstract: Manifold for controlling flow of fluids in multi-channel system deployed in oil well including an orifice formed between inlet ports and outlet ports. The orifice receives fluid through inlet ports and is in fluid communication with a pressure system and tank. The manifold includes a check valve connecting the orifice and receiving/controlling flow of fluid. The manifold includes a gas charged accumulator adapted to store hydraulic energy generated at an inlet of the gas charged accumulator when pressure of the fluid becomes greater than a precharge pressure. The manifold includes a flow control valve connecting the check valve and gas charged accumulator. The flow control valve and gas charged accumulator control the opening of the check valve and prevent improper operation of the manifold. The gas charged accumulator dumps fluid into the tank quickly when the flow control valve moves out of its intended position during failure of drilling operation.

Abstract: Systems and methods for responding to latency in connected vehicles. Vehicles operating on or near the edge of networks are identified. Vehicle dependent nodes are identified. Latency is calculated between the vehicle and the dependent nodes. The latency is compared to one or more threshold values and a response is determined and/or executed.

Abstract: A method for managing data in view of data controls includes determining that a jurisdictional restriction associated with a jurisdiction applies to utilization of a portion of data, determining that a compliant service to utilize the portion of data is unavailable, deploying an instance of the compliant service, and utilizing the portion of data using the instance of the compliant service.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention may provide systems and methods for determining estimated lead times based on delivery history information to a same or similar geographical area. According to one example embodiment, a method is provided. The method can include identifying a payee and determining that the payee is associated with a geographical area for mailpiece delivery. The method can further include identifying multiple delivery methods for mailpiece delivery to the geographical area, wherein each of delivery methods is associated with (a) a distribution center, (b) a delivery agent, and (c) an estimated lead time determined at least in part by analyzing the delivery history information associated with multiple mailpieces mailed from the respective distribution center to the geographical area via the respective delivery agent. The method can further include selecting one of the delivery methods for mailpiece delivery to the payee and associating the selected delivery method with the payee.
