  • Patent number: 12291925
    Abstract: An underreamer drill hammer comprising a canister including a housing having an outer diameter, a proximal end configured for attachment to a drill string, and a percussive drill hammer housed within the housing, the percussive drill hammer having a drill bit movable between a radially retracted position and a radially extended position. The drill bit can rotate and is designed in a manner that the drill bit head cams, pivots, or swings out to a larger cutting diameter when the system is rotated in a first direction. The system is rotated in a second direction to retract the bit heads. The bits are retracted to remove the canister from the casing or to drill a smaller diameter hole through rock.

  • Patent number: 12197856
    Abstract: Systems and methods are described for providing empathy corrections and predictions to various communications. In some aspects, a method may include obtaining training data to train a plurality of empathy correction models, where the training data is obtained through empathy games that elicit labels indicating an empathy score for individual statements and indicating at least one empathy characteristic upon which the empathy score is based. At least one statement from a communication platform may be obtained and an empathy score may be determined for statement using the empathy corrections models. The empathy score may be compared to an empathy threshold, and if the empathy score is below the empathy threshold, at least one correction to the statement may be determined to improve empathy of the first empathy characteristic, using the plurality of empathy correction models. The correction may then be provided to the communication platform.
