Abstract: Digital content can be broadcast in a sideband of an analog broadcast channel using multiple digital in-band on-channel (IBOC) transceivers connected in a mesh configuration to form an IBOC mesh network. The digital IBOC transceivers are positioned at various geographic locations, so that unlike traditional “HD” radio broadcasts, the IBOC broadcast transmission is spread out over a wide area, using multiple low power digital IBOC transceivers rather than being broadcast from the same location as the analog signal. An edge transceiver can limit IBOC transmission power of the IBOC transceivers to a desired portion of the power used to broadcast the analog signal. The edge server can make this determination based on measurements taken at the geographically distributed digital IBOC transceivers. The IBOC mesh network provides bi-directional communication between a mesh transceiver and a user device, and can be used to deliver user feedback.

Abstract: An illustrative dogleg severity (DLS) estimation method includes: retrieving dimensions of steering assembly; determining an initial DLS estimate; using the DLS estimate in combination with the steering assembly dimensions to determine node displacements for a shaft portion of the steering assembly; deriving a bit side force from the node displacements while accounting for elastic bending in a housing portion of the steering assembly; performing a DLS calculation based in part on the bit side force; adjusting the DLS estimate if the DLS calculation does not match; repeating said using, deriving, performing, and adjusting until a match is achieved; and storing the DLS estimate on a nontransient information storage medium.

Abstract: An example embodiment of a pipe-in-pipe electric motor assembly includes a drilling string that includes an inner pipe, an outer pipe, and an electric motor. The electric motor is provided with power supplied by the inner pipe and the outer pipe acting at least as conductors. A latching mechanism connects the drilling string and an electric motor output shaft. The electric motor output shaft is driven by the electric motor. The latching mechanism prevents the electric motor output shaft from rotating slower than the drilling string and associated methods.

Abstract: Embodiments of a system and method for sorting and sequencing articles in a processing facility are disclosed. Delivery endpoints are divided and grouped into stop groups. A first sorter sorts items according to stop group and outputs the items to trays. The output trays from the first sorter are loaded to a second sorter in stop group order. The second sorter sorts items for each stop group into separate lanes. Each lane can then be sorted into output bins in delivery sequence order.

Abstract: According to aspects of the present disclosure, systems and methods for measuring fluid resistivity are described herein. An example system may include a non-conductive tube. The non-conductive tube may be filled with a fluid, such as a formation fluid or drilling fluid, whose resistivity needs to be determined. A transmitter may be disposed around an outer surface of the non-conductive tube. A first receiver may be disposed around the outer surface of the non-conductive tube, and a second receiver may be positioned within a bore of the non-conductive tube. The transmitter may generate a primary electromagnetic field in a fluid within the tube, which may in turn generate an eddy current and a secondary electromagnetic field. The first and second receivers may be used to identify the eddy current and the resistivity of the fluid.

Abstract: Systems and methods described herein utilize supervised machine learning to generate a figure-of-speech prediction model for classify content words in a running text as either being figurative (e.g., as a metaphor, simile, etc.) or non-figurative (i.e., literal). The prediction model may extract and analyze any number of features in making its prediction, including a topic model feature, unigram feature, part-of-speech feature, concreteness feature, concreteness difference feature, literal context feature, non-literal context feature, and off-topic feature, each of which are described in detail herein. Since uses of figure of speech in writings may signal content sophistication, the figure-of-speech prediction model allows scoring engines to further take into consideration a text's use of figure of speech when generating a score.
