  • Patent number: 11301861
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media for monitoring risk levels in continuing to allow a potentially compromised payment card to continue to be used. An exemplary system can include a processor which receives a notification of unauthorized use of a card, retrieves a transaction history of authorized use of the card, and performs predictive modeling based on the transaction history based to determine a predicted transaction amount for future transactions. The system can then determine a risk level of continued use of the card and modify processing of the ongoing transaction based on the risk level. The system can then issue a risk level notification to proper authorities.

  • Patent number: 11299978
    Abstract: System and methods for geosteering inversion are provided. A downhole tool's response along a path of a wellbore to be drilled through a formation is predicted over different stages of a downhole operation, based on each of a plurality of initial models of the formation. Each initial model represents a different number of formation layers over a specified range. The tool's actual response with respect to one or more formation parameters is determined, based on measurements obtained during a current stage of the operation. The actual response is compared with that predicted from each of the initial models. At least one of the models is selected as an inversion model, based on the comparison and a selection criterion. Inversion is performed for subsequent stages of the operation along the wellbore path, based on the selected model. The wellbore path is adjusted for the subsequent stages, based on the inversion results.

  • Patent number: 11301997
    Abstract: A method for phase correction in proton resonance frequency (PRF) thermometry application includes acquiring a series of magnetic resonance (MR) images comprising a first MR image and plurality of subsequent MR images depicting an anatomical area of interest. The MR images are acquired while tissue in the anatomical area of interest is undergoing a temperature change. Each subsequent MR image is registered to the first MR image to yield a plurality of registered images. A plurality of basis images are computed from the registered images using Principal Component Analysis (PCA). The basis images are used to remove motion-related phase changes from a second series of MR images, thereby yielding a motion corrected second series of MR images. One or more temperature difference maps are generated that depict a relative temperature change for the tissue in the anatomical area of interest based on the motion corrected second series.
