Publication number: 20230019444Abstract: Downhole electrical energy harvesting and communication in systems for well installations having metallic structure carrying electric current, for example CP current. In some instances there is a harvesting module (4) electrically connected to the metallic structure (2) at a first location and to a second location spaced from the first location, the first and second locations being chosen such that, in use, there is a potential difference therebetween due to the electric current flowing in the structure (2); and the harvesting module (4) being arranged to harvest electrical energy from the electric current. In addition or alternatively, there may be communication apparatus (4, 5, 6) for communication by modulation of the current, for example CP current, in the metallic structure (2).Type: ApplicationFiled: September 12, 2022Publication date: January 19, 2023Inventors: Shaun Compton ROSS, Leslie David JARVIS, Steven Martin HUDSON

Publication number: 20220253118Abstract: Systems and methods described herein make previously stranded power capacity (power that is provisioned for a data center according to a computing system's nameplate power consumption but is currently not useable) available to the data center. Systems described herein generate empirical power profiles that specify expected upper bounds for the power consumption levels that applications trigger. Using the upper bounds for application power-consumption levels, a computing system described herein can reliably release part of its provisioned nameplate power for other systems or data center consumers, reducing the amount of stranded power in a data center. The method described herein avoids performance penalties for most jobs by using sensor measurements made at a rapid rate explained herein to ensure that a system power cap based on running application's measured peak power consumption is reliable with reference to the power capacitance inherent in the computing system.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 28, 2022Publication date: August 11, 2022Inventors: Torsten Wilde, Andy Warner, Steven Dean, Steven Martin, Pat Donlin

Publication number: 20220156333Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer-readable media for updating a machine learning model utilized in a search engine operation. The method identifies a set of search queries in stored search queries corresponding to a service and apply the identified set of search queries to the search engine to generate one or more search results for the service. Each search result has an assigned aggregate based on values of a set of parameters associated with the service. The method then analyzes the values of the set of parameters to determine a tradeoff point of each parameter to determine one or more weights to apply to the machine learning model based on the tradeoff points. The method stores the determined one or more weights and applies them to the machine learning model for a search query corresponding to the service.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 31, 2022Publication date: May 19, 2022Applicant: Grand Rounds, Inc.Inventors: Nathaniel Freese, Derek Macklin, Ramkrishna Soma, Eric Carlson, Steven Martin

Patent number: 11238204Abstract: Various embodiments provide for testing a transmitter with interpolation, which can be used with a circuit for data communications, such as serializer/deserializer (SerDes) communications. In particular, some embodiments provide for data transmission test of a transmitter by: generating and outputting a pre-determined data pattern through a serializer of the transmitter; sampling a serialized data output of the serializer over a plurality of different interpolation phase positions of a phase interpolator; and using a pattern checker to error check the sampled data over the plurality of different interpolation phase positions to determine whether the data transmission test passes.Type: GrantFiled: October 8, 2020Date of Patent: February 1, 2022Assignee: Cadence Design Systems, Inc.Inventors: Scott David Huss, Loren B.

Publication number: 20210400611Abstract: A communication technique for synchronizing a set of radio nodes is described. In this communication technique, the radio node arbitrates (e.g., using a precision time protocol or PTP) with the other radio nodes based on a selection technique to select a synchronization master in the set of radio nodes. This synchronization master may be selected to have a predefined performance based on a type of communication environment of the set of radio nodes. For example, the type of communication environment may include overlap between at least one of the radio nodes in the set of radio nodes and a macrocell in a cellular-telephone network, or may exclude overlap between the set of radio nodes and the macrocell. Moreover, the synchronization master may specify time, frequency, and phase synchronization for the set of radio nodes. Thus, when the synchronization master is different from the radio node, the radio node synchronizes with the synchronization master.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 3, 2021Publication date: December 23, 2021Applicant: ARRIS Enterprises LLCInventors: Paul Petrus, Steven A.
