  • Publication number: 20230224183
    Abstract: A system and method for automatically managing a living space relates to Internet of Things (IoT) implementations within a commercial or residential location that allow for fully private management of collected data. Such a system enables users to automate many different functions within their homes and properties, including temperature management, room illumination, humidity, and more, in order to optimize for a chosen metric, such as comfort, energy efficiency, or cost efficiency. Because the user takes ownership over sensors, servers, and output devices, collected data may be parsed, organized, stored, applied, and otherwise utilized without risk of exposing collected data to external parties. This control enables users to develop various interfaces, algorithms, command signals, visuals, and more at will, thereby ensuring the user may customize a living space according to whatever desirable outcomes the user chooses.

  • Patent number: 6049757
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a method for removing periodic errors from well log data. The method comprises defining a parametric model of well log data to identify periodic errors due to the borehole environment are present, and removing the periodic errors from the well log data.

  • Patent number: 6047240
    Abstract: The present invention relates generally to a method and apparatus for evaluating the resistivity of invaded formations at high apparent dip angle. A multi-array induction tool having a plurality of arrays is disposed in a borehole. Signals from a subset of coils of the array are selected to probe different volumes of the formation surrounding the borehole. The maximum entropy method is used to process data from the subset of coils to effectively remove distortions produced by shoulder and dip effect in the presence of shallow, moderate, or deep invasion. An advantage of the invention is a computer program that accurately predicts the response of induction arrays in an assumed layered formation with dip. After processing the data, the resulting multi-array induction log will indicate a conductivity profile for the subset of coils which is substantially identical to that of an array in a thick bed, without dip or layering, with the same invasion profile.
