Abstract: An acoustic sand monitor system includes an exciter assembly and a receiver that are configured to be coupled to an accumulator vessel. Separating equipment separates sand from a fluid stream produced by a well. The accumulator vessel collects the sand separated from the fluid stream. The exciter assembly causes vibrations of the accumulator vessel and the receiver measures audio signals generated by the vibrations of the accumulator vessel. A control system analyzes the audio signal to determine the amount of sand collected in the accumulator vessel.

Abstract: A system, device, and method for providing water, liquids, or beverages to a person while sitting in a seat are disclosed. The system and device can attach to a seat and support a liquid container. An attachment or object is used to support a hose in in a readily accessible location for a person to reach and grab the hose from the attachment or object used to support the hose. The system and device allow the person to access the water, liquids, or beverages with his or her hand while in the seat by pulling the hose from the attachment or object to hold the hose, then drink from the hose or mouth piece, and then return the hose to a position not directly on the body of the person after drinking that is supported by the attachment or object to hold the hose.

Abstract: The present invention extends to methods, systems, and computer program products for detecting online contextual evolution of linguistic terms. Within messaging sources, some users may actively attempt to (relatively quickly) shift the meaning of a word or term. Some users may attempt to perjorate a word or term to have a more toxic meaning. Other users may attempt to reappropriate a word or term to have a less toxic or even a positive meaning. Aspects of the invention identify shifts in implied meanings of words and/or phrases over time. As such, emerging forms of harassment can be identified more quickly. Aspects of the invention can utilize users' behavioral histories as well as messaging structures to improve confidence when identifying term evolution. Machine learning algorithms can be configured to identify term evolution reducing workload on human moderators.

Abstract: The present technology extends to methods, systems, and computer program products for expanding semantic classes via user feedback. Aspects of the technology learn how a set of labels can be expanded from user-generated tags. Text labels applied by human reviewers to digital content can be inspected and compared to one another. When a threshold of human-generated text tags contain similar terminology, the set of labels can be expanded to define a representation of the similar terminology. Similar terminology can include terms that originate from the same base term, are synonyms, are more specific terms related to a general term category, etc. Similar terminology can be consolidated into a defining term that is used to generate a new (more granular) label or a new top level label. Accordingly, new semantic classes can be discovered from user-generated feedback. New semantic classes can provide a more granular representation of content item classification.
