  • Publication number: 20220389123
    Abstract: Amine-functionalized saccharide polymers, including oligosaccharides and polysaccharides, may be effective for promoting clay stabilization in subterranean formations. Oxidative synthesis of amine-functionalized saccharide polymers using sodium hypochlorite pentahydrate as an oxidation reagent may afford a different distribution and type of sites of oxidative opening as compared to other types of oxidation reagents. Amine-functionalized saccharide polymers may be prepared by exposing a saccharide polymer comprising a trans-vicinal diol to an oxidation reagent comprising sodium hypochlorite pentahydrate, reacting the trans-vicinal diol to form a site of oxidative opening bearing at least one aldehyde, exposing the at least one aldehyde to an amine to form an imine intermediate at the site of oxidative opening, and reducing the imine intermediate into a secondary or tertiary amine at the site of oxidative opening.

  • Publication number: 20220389333
    Abstract: Described is a novel process for disaggregating biomass pyrolysis oil quantitatively into energy dense hydrophobic aromatic fraction (HAF), fermentable pyrolytic sugars and phenolics based products in a highly economical and energy efficient manner. Phase separation of the esterified pyrolysis oil after an oxidative pre-treatment and the quantitative recovery of the separate fractions is described. Phase separation uses batch as well as continuous reactor systems. The resulting HAF is an energy dense, thermally stable, water free, non-corrosive to carbon steel, and is a free flowing liquid suitable for combustion and for upgrading to transportation fuels. Pyrolytic sugars which are mainly anhydrosugars can be further converted by fermentation to ethanol or other products. Monomeric phenols are useful industrial intermediates and the organic acids in the original pyrolysis oil are mainly recovered as esters of the separation solvents.

  • Publication number: 20220390637
    Abstract: An acoustic logging system includes a first transducer in contact with or in close proximity to a sound barrier configured to emit a beam of acoustic energy according to a first mode of operation or a second mode of operation. The system also includes one or more second transducers in contact with or in close proximity to the sound barrier, positioned axially away from the first transducer, configured to receive acoustic energy from a wellbore environment responsive to the beam. The first mode of operation is a transmit-receive mode of operation where the beam is steerable to interact with one or more wellbore components at a first angle and the second mode of operation is a pulse echo mode of operation where the beam interacts with the one or more wellbore components at a second angle different from the first angle.

  • Publication number: 20220393692
    Abstract: A high resolution analog to digital converter (ADC) with improved bandwidth senses an analog signal (e.g., a load current) to generate a digital signal. The ADC operates based on a load voltage produced based on charging of an element (e.g., a capacitor) by a load current and a digital to analog converter (DAC) output current (e.g., from a N-bit DAC). The ADC generates a digital output signal representative of a difference between the load voltage and a reference voltage. This digital output signal is used directly, or after digital signal processing, to operate an N-bit DAC to generate a DAC output current that tracks the load current. In addition, quantization noise is subtracted from the digital output signal thereby extending the operational bandwidth of the ADC. In certain examples, the operational bandwidth of the ADC extends up to 100s of kHz (e.g., 200-300 kHz), or even higher.

  • Publication number: 20220394277
    Abstract: This application relates to video encoding and decoding, and specifically to tools and techniques for using and providing supplemental enhancement information in bitstreams. Among other things, the detailed description presents innovations for bitstreams having supplemental enhancement information (SEI). In particular embodiments, the SET message includes picture source data (e.g., data indicating whether the associated picture is a progressive scan picture or an interlaced scan picture and/or data indicating whether the associated picture is a duplicate picture). The SEI message can also express a confidence level of the encoder's relative confidence in the accuracy of this picture source data. A decoder can use the confidence level indication to determine whether the decoder should separately identify the picture as progressive or interlaced and/or a duplicate picture or honor the picture source scanning information in the SEI as it is.

  • Publication number: 20220391314
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for automatically generating a fault-enabled software development kit (SDK) to test an application. The generating includes determining one or more faults based on codes associated with the SDK and a frequency of occurrences of faults while executing the SDK. A fault injector automatically injects the determined faults in select layers of code in the SDK and generates fault configuration data associated with the automatically injected faults in the SDK. The fault configuration data describes faults that have been injected in the fault-enabled SDK to test an application. The fault-enabled SDK tests the application without needs for modifying the application code for testing purposes. The fault-enabled SDK further provides types of faults that may be common in using the SDK without requiring application developers to have detailed understanding of internals of the SDK to test the application with simulated faults.

    Abstract: Apparatus and methods are described to program memory cells and control bit line discharge schemes during programming based on the data pattern. The memory controller can predict program data pattern based on SLC pulse number and TLC data completion signals and use these signals to adjust when the inhibited bit lines can discharge. Once a TLC program operation have more one data, the memory controller will enable EQVDDSA_PROG to equalize to VDDSA, and then discharge. In SLC program, the memory controller will enable EQVDDSA_PROG only in first program pulse and disable it thereafter.
