  • Active magnetic ranging by wellhead current injection
    Patent number: 11828166
    Abstract: Wellbore ranging methods and systems for active electromagnetic ranging between a pair of conductive tubulars. Methods may include generating a depth-dependent current on one conductive tubular of the pair and a return current on another and thereby causing an injection current to flow into the earth formation by electrically exciting a first conductive tubular of the pair at a first wellhead and a second of the pair at a second wellhead, wherein the return current on the one results from the injection current on the other and is received from the earth formation; making electromagnetic measurements indicative of at least one electromagnetic field resulting from the depth-dependent current in the earth formation; and estimating a relative position of the first conductive tubular with respect to the second tubular using the electromagnetic measurements.

  • Consistent policy enforcement across networks
    Patent number: 11832155
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for consistent policy enforcement across networks. A subscription is provisioned at a first network with an initial service policy. The first network queries a second network for updated service policy information. In response to the query, updated service policy information for the subscription is received. The updated service policy information is determined by the second network based on a selection criteria attribute for the subscription satisfying selection criteria. The selection criteria attribute is unavailable at the first network. Service is provided to a device associated with the subscription in accordance with the updated service policy information.

  • Systems and methods for self-correcting network equipment
    Patent number: 11831488
    Abstract: A system and method for mitigating anomalies in a network device. One or a combination of mitigation actions may be pre-programmed into a plurality of customer premises equipment (CPE) devices. The mitigation actions may be available as temporary or permanent work arounds as problems are detected that match known or discovered patterns of log events. Unsupervised machine learning techniques may be used to identify and correlate new patterns of log events with device anomalies or malfunctions. When a new pattern of log events is discovered and correlated to an anomaly or malfunction in a group of CPE devices, the discovered pattern may be written to the group of CPE devices with instructions to use particular ones of the mitigation actions. The CPE devices can then, in examples, monitor their own logs to detect the patterns and implement one or more of the mitigation actions.

  • File upload control for client-side applications in proxy solutions
    Patent number: 11831617
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes receiving, by a proxy device, a document from a service provider in response to a request to the service provider from a client device. The proxy device injects into the document event monitoring code for monitoring user actions on the client device. The proxy device sends the document with the event monitoring code to the client device. The event monitoring code intercepts a user request for a file upload event using a client-side application on the client device. The proxy device receives a client request including file information regarding the file upload event from the event monitoring code. The proxy device determines whether the file upload event should be allowed or blocked based on the received file information and stored policy data.

  • Improving blast patterns
    Patent number: 11828582
    Abstract: Techniques for improving a blast pattern at a mining site include conducting an initial blast and recording the initial blast as a high speed optical video. The high speed optical video, and the blast pattern used in the initial blast are sent as inputs to a machine learning model, which correlates one or more characteristics of the region being blasted with measurements associated with characteristics of the region being blasted obtained from the high speed optical video. The machine learning model can then determine an improved blast pattern based on the correlation made. This improved blast pattern can be displayed on a user computing device, or transmitted to a drilling system to automatically drill the improved blast pattern for subsequent blasts.
