Abstract: An unattended approach can increase the reproducibility and safety of the treatment as the chance of over/under treating of a certain area is significantly decreased. On the other hand, unattended treatment of uneven or rugged areas can be challenging in terms of maintaining proper distance or contact with the treated tissue, mostly on areas which tend to differ from patient to patient (e.g. facial area). Delivering energy via a system of active elements embedded in a flexible pad adhesively attached to the skin offers a possible solution. The unattended approach may include delivering of multiple energies to enhance a visual appearance.

Abstract: Systems and methods for determining holdup in a wellbore using a neutron-based downhole tool. In examples, the tool includes nuclear detectors that may measure gammas induced by highly energized pulsed-neutrons emitted by a generator. The characteristic energy and intensity of detected gammas indicate the elemental concentration for that interaction type. A detector response may be correlated to the borehole holdup by using the entire spectrum or the ratios of selected peaks. As a result, measurements taken by the neutron-based downhole tool may allow for a two component (oil and water) or a three component (oil, water, and gas) measurement. The two component or three component measurements may be further processed using machine learning (ML) and/or artificial intelligence (AI) with additional enhancements of semi-analytical physics algorithms performed at the employed network's nodes (or hidden layers).

Abstract: A process quantifies a concentration of a targeted molecule in a liquid sample by pulsing signal and reference beams from their own sources, then spatially combining the pulsed beams into a single radiation beam which passes into the liquid sample and then detecting pulsed output beams after the single radiation beam passes out of the liquid sample. The pulsed outputs of the signal and reference beams are processed to obtain a value over a preselected period of time and, if an interference beam is used, it is processed with the reference beam to obtain a calibration curve adjustment representative of optical interference represented by at least one interfering molecule concentration which is used to calculate the concentration level of the targeted particle in the liquid sample. Two detectors, which may have an optical co-axial configuration, can be used for detection of pulsed beams.
