Patent number: 11875284Abstract: An asset identification and tracking system includes one or more monitoring units configured to monitor at least one designated area. Each of the monitoring units includes an imaging device and one or more processors. The imaging device is configured to generate image data depicting one or more mobile assets that move through the at least one designated area. The one or more processors are operably coupled to the imaging device and configured to analyze the image data to detect and decipher one or more identifiers that are displayed on a particular mobile asset of the one or more mobile assets that move through the at least one designated area. The one or more processors are further configured to generate a detection message that includes the one or more identifiers for communication to an asset control system.Type: GrantFiled: January 19, 2021Date of Patent: January 16, 2024Assignee: TRANSPORTATION IP HOLDINGS, LLCInventors: James D.

Patent number: 10190380Abstract: Embodiments of a method for monitoring an annular packer are provided herein. In some embodiments, a method for monitoring a sealing element of a blowout preventer may include providing a fluid to a chamber disposed within a blowout preventer to actuate a piston disposed within the chamber, wherein the actuation of the piston causes a reduction of an inner diameter of a sealing element; measuring one or more parameters of the fluid via a sensor; receiving data relating to the one or more parameters from the sensor; determining a stiffness of the sealing element utilizing the data relating to the one or more parameters; and determining an amount of degradation of the sealing element by comparing the determined stiffness of the sealing element to a known data profile.Type: GrantFiled: May 14, 2014Date of Patent: January 29, 2019Assignee: GENERAL ELECTRIC COMPANYInventors: Deepak Trivedi, William Lyle Carbaugh, Gregory Ronald Gillette, Joseph Alan Incavo, Weina Ge

Patent number: 9952340Abstract: A workflow is presented that facilitates defining geocontextual information as a set of rules for multiple seismic attributes. Modeling algorithms may be employed that facilitate analysis of multiple seismic attributes to find candidate regions that are most likely to satisfy the set of rules. These candidates may then be sorted based on how well they represent the geocontextual information.Type: GrantFiled: December 31, 2013Date of Patent: April 24, 2018Assignees: GENERAL ELECTRIC COMPANY, EXXONMOBIL RESEARCH UPSTREAMInventors: Erhan Bas, Gianni Matteucci, Ali Can, Jens Rittscher, Weina Ge, Kelly E.
