  • Patent number: 12347566
    Abstract: A device may obtain a heartbeat profile of a current subject, the heartbeat profile being based on photoplethysmography (PPG) data associated with a set of wavelength channels. The device may determine a global model including a plurality of classes, each associated with a subject identifier and a blood pressure level (BPL) identifier. The device may identify a class as a closest class to the current subject based on the heartbeat profile of the current subject. The device may identify a local subject associated with the closest class based on the subject identifier associated with the closest class. The device may generate a BPL estimation model for the current subject based on heartbeat profile data for the local subject. The device may determine a BPL estimation for the current subject based on the heartbeat profile of the current subject and using the BPL estimation model.

  • Patent number: 12320254
    Abstract: A system and method can be used for implementing self-adapting digital twins. The system may include operations for estimate a state matrix characterizing behavior of a hydrocarbon recovery process implemented by a hydrocarbon recovery tool. Observed values of one or more sensors for at least one process parameter may be obtained from sensors deployed throughout the drilling environment. These sensors may be physical sensors acquiring information about physical changes within the drilling environment; and processes monitoring output of system functions and/or other processes. A data assimilation tool may be applied to the estimated state matrix and the observed values to produce an updated state matrix. The updated state matrix may be used as the previous state matrix in a subsequent time step, thus implementing a self-adapting digital twin model.

  • Patent number: 12314640
    Abstract: A model representing a physical object is received. The model contains a pilot node, one or more surface nodes, and a constraint for coupling displacements/movements of the pilot node with the one or more surface nodes via a set of constraint equations. The pilot node is subject to a condition that restricts node swapping for resolving node dependency in elimination method. An internal node is created based on the pilot node. The internal node and the pilot node occupy a same location initially. The internal node and the one or more surface nodes are constrained via the set of constraint equations. The model is modified with the internal node and a numerical spring connecting the pilot node and the internal node. The numerical spring is configured for limiting relative movements between the pilot node and the internal node. Physical behaviors of the physical object are simulated using the modified model.

  • Patent number: 12280499
    Abstract: A method, system and computer program product for training a control input system involve taking an integral of an output value from a Motion Decision Neural Network for one or more movable joints to generate an integrated output value and comparing the integrated output value to a backlash threshold. A subsequent output value is generated using a machine learning algorithm that includes a sensor value and a previous joint position if the integrated output value does not at least meet the threshold. A position of the one or more movable joints is simulated based on an integral of the subsequent output value; and the Motion Decision Neural Network is trained with the machine learning algorithm based upon at least a result of the simulation of the position of the one or more movable joints.
