  • Patent number: 11898435
    Abstract: Borehole images can be corrected using machine-learning models. For example, a system can train a machine-learning model based on a training dataset. The training dataset can include a first set of borehole images correlated to a second set of borehole images, where the second set of borehole images are less precise versions of the first set of borehole images. The system can then execute the trained machine-learning model in relation to an input borehole image to receive a corrected borehole image as output from the trained machine-learning model. The corrected borehole image can be a visually corrected version of the input borehole image. The system may then perform one or more operations based on the corrected borehole image, such as generating a graphical user interface that includes the corrected borehole image for display on a display device.

  • Patent number: 11880551
    Abstract: A mobile computing device runs multiple activities concurrently and provides at least two modes for interacting with the activities. The user may toggle between the modes as desired. In a full-screen mode, one activity occupies substantially an entire display screen. In a windowed mode, the activity is visible within a window, and a portion of at least one other window is also visible. In the windowed mode, the user can cause windows to move, thereby changing focus from one activity to another. For example, the window having focus can be moved off the screen, to be replaced by a new window that is then given focus. The windows are ordered in a sequence and move in concert with one another; pushing one window off one edge of the screen causes a new window to appear at the opposite edge. A persistent positional relationship can be established among windows.

  • Patent number: 11733864
    Abstract: The subject matter of this specification describes a method that includes determining when to send a user selection of a first key on a keyboard to an operating system, where the operating system supports shortcut key combinations. The device identifies the user selection of the first key, as input for an application. The device determines that the first key is part of a shortcut key combination. The processing device determines whether a cursor is visible in a user interface provided by the application. Upon determining that the cursor is visible in the user interface, the device waits for another user selection of one or more remaining keys of the shortcut key combinations before sending the first key to the operating system. Upon determining that the cursor is not visible in the user interface, the device sends the first key to the operating system without waiting for another user selection.
