  • Patent number: 12055673
    Abstract: An architecture for predicting and modeling geological characteristics of a reservoir includes one or more neural networks, a static modeling module, a dynamic modeling module, and a fuzzy inference engine to provide recommendations for drilling a wellbore. The neural networks receive log data for coordinates along a well trajectory, and determine a geophysical relationship for a property of a subterranean formation as a function of distance vectors between the coordinates along the well trajectory and one or more sets of randomly generated coordinates. The static modeling module generates three-dimensional static models of a volume of interest based on predicted properties of formations residing therein from the neural networks.

  • Patent number: 11579332
    Abstract: Implementations described and claimed herein provide systems and methods for developing a reservoir. In one implementation, a static model of the reservoir is received. The static model has one or more clusters of rock types. A reservoir graph is generated from the static model. The reservoir graph represents each of the one or more clusters as a vertex. A graph connectivity of the reservoir graph is defined through a nodal connectivity of neighboring vertices. Pressure values are propagated across three-dimensional space of the reservoir graph using the connectivity. A dynamic model of the reservoir is generated using the pressure values and fluid saturation values.

  • Patent number: 11454738
    Abstract: Implementations described and claimed herein provide systems and methods for developing a reservoir. In one implementation, a reservoir model is received. The reservoir model includes a static model and a dynamic model. The static model includes one or more clusters of a three-dimensional volume of the reservoir and an uncertainty quantification generated using a neural network. The dynamic model includes pressure values and fluid saturation values propagated across the three-dimensional volume through a nodal connectivity of neighboring clusters. A set of input features is generated from the static model and the dynamic model. The set of input features is related to a drilling attractiveness of a target region of the reservoir using a set of rules executed by a fuzzy inference engine. A quantification of the drilling attractiveness is generated. A recommendation for drilling in the reservoir is output based on the quantification of the drilling attractiveness.

  • Patent number: 11306470
    Abstract: A system for preventing overflow of a toilet includes a sensor, a processor and an actuator. The sensor senses a parameter caused by fluid dynamics within the toilet during a flush cycle. The parameter may involve vibration, sound, pressure, fluid flow rate or other detectible characteristics of the toilet. The processor uses information regarding the parameter that is gathered by the sensor to evaluate the condition of the flush cycle to determine if an impeded flush condition exists. In the event of an impeded flush condition, the processor directs the actuator to close a valve, which may be the toilet flapper valve in some embodiments. Also disclosed are methods for preventing toilet overflow, detecting an impeded flush condition and calibrating the system.

  • Patent number: 11193264
    Abstract: A system for preventing overflow of a toilet includes a capacitance sensor arrangement as in combination with certain features (e.g., flap valve disablement). The system can detect an overflow flush condition of a toilet by sensing the value of a parameter of one or more normal flush cycles of the toilet and establishing a normal range for the value of the parameter using the sensed value. The system can also store the normal range in a memory for comparison to a value of the parameter during subsequent flush cycles. The system can perform sensing over a predetermined timeframe. The system can include the time frame being sufficient to include the entire push cycle of the toilet.

  • Patent number: 11143789
    Abstract: Implementations described and claimed herein provide systems and methods for developing a reservoir. In one implementation, observed data points in a volume along a well trajectory and well logs corresponding to observed data points are received at a neural network. Feature vectors are generated using the neural network. The feature vectors are defined based on a distance between each of the observed data points and randomly generated points in the volume. A 3D populated log is generated by propagating well log values of the feature vectors across the volume. Uncertainty is quantified by generating a plurality of realizations including the 3D populated log. Each of the realizations is different and equally probable. core values are generated from the realizations, and a static model of the reservoir is generated by clustering the volume into one or more clusters of rock types based on the core values.

  • Patent number: 11098897
    Abstract: A method of making a hot surface igniter is described. A silicon carbide composition that includes both fines fraction and a coarse fraction is sintered in a nitrogen and argon reducing atmosphere in a manner that controls the incorporation of nitrogen with in the lattice of recrystallized silicon carbide. The controlled incorporation of nitrogen in the lattice provides enhanced control over heating and electrical properties, while simultaneously achieving a lower surface area fully recrystallized structure for oxidation resistance and long service life.
