  • Publication number: 20230142230
    Abstract: Implementations described and claimed herein provide systems and methods for dynamic waterflood forecast modeling utilizing deep thinking computational techniques to reduce the processing time for generating the forecast model and improving the accuracy of resulting forecasts. In one particular implementation, a dataset of a field may be restructured into the spatio-temporal framework and data driven deep neural networks may be utilized to learn the nuances of data interactions to make more accurate forecasts for each well in the field. Further, the generated model may forecast a single time segment and build the complete forecast through recursive prediction instances. The temporal component of the restructured data may include all or a portion of the production history of the field divided into spaced time intervals. The spatial component of the restructure data may include, within each epoch, a computed or estimated spatial relationships of all existing wells.

  • Patent number: 7757640
    Abstract: An electric shock device in use attached to an animal such as a horse or other equine animal to discourage an undesirable behavior such as wind-sucking or cribbing, the device including: an attachment for locating the device on the neck of the animal; an electric charge source operatively connected to the attachment; at least one electrode for applying an electric pulse from the electric device to the animal, the electrode electrically connected to the charge source; and a hinged lever member movable by the performance of the undesirable behavior by the animal. The undesirable behavior alone causing sufficient movement or the type, of movement of the lever member required to activate the electric device leading to the discharge of the electric pulse from the electric device, thereby causing the electric pulse to be generated and delivered through the at least one electrode to the animal.

  • Publication number: 20080022944
    Abstract: An electric shock device (80) in use attached to an animal such as a horse or other equine animal to discourage an undesirable behaviour such as wind-sucking. The device (80) includes: an attachment (81) for locating the device (80) on the neck of the animal; an electric charge source (90) operatively connected to the attachment (81); electrode means (95) for applying an electric pulse to the animal, the electrode means (95) electrically connected to the charge source (90); and activation means such as a hinged lever or tongue (84) activated in response to the performance by the animal of the undesirable behaviour alone, the activation of the activation means (84) leading to the discharge of said electric pulse from said electric charge source (90).
