Abstract: Vibrations in a drill string are damped with a sleeve that circumscribes and is rotatable about a portion of the drill string. Ribs project radially outward from an outer surface of the sleeve and into sidewalls of the wellbore to rotationally couple the sleeve and wellbore. A coupling device restricts free rotation of the sleeve about the drill string, and which is selectively engaged to counteract vibrational forces in the drill string. The coupling device can include a clutch-like device to introduce friction between the drill string and the sleeve, that is powered hydraulically or electrically. Activating the coupling device is based on a timer or in response to vibration sensed in the drill string.

Abstract: Autonomous vehicles utilize perception to identify objects in a vehicle's surrounding environment and plan a trajectory. In perceiving an AV's surroundings, an object detection model uses sensor data from AV sensors to detect objects in the AV surroundings. An object detection model can be trained to detect objects using training datasets having sensor data and ground truth objects. In training, the object detection model uses the sensor data to identify objects in the locations of the ground truth objects. However, sometimes there is little or no sensor data corresponding to the ground truth objects, and the model is not able to learn patterns in sensor data to correctly detect the objects. Systems and methods are provided herein for removing ground truth objects that do not have sufficient corresponding sensor data from the training dataset, thereby preventing these objects from dominating the loss and interfering with the model learning useful patterns.
